In Reply to: OT: Chainsaw purchase posted by Arkansawyer on April 19, 04 at 07:33:04:
I bought a Husky 350 about a year ago, 18" bar that handles just about anything i can throw at it. The only problem i've come across with those saws are that they're a bear to get started for the first time. I want to get a more aggressive chain next time since it could cut a little faster.
Use only Husky bar oil and Husky 2 stroke mix w/93 octane. Clean after each use and refuel and top off bar oil after that. A simple chain file is good enough for sharpening, takes a little practice but once you get the hang of it you can sharpen the chain in a couple minutes. Got my saw from Southwestfastener.com at a much better price than anywhere else.
