Husky makes awesome saws, and they seem to hold up a bit better than the current run of Stihl saws. We use a Stihl Farm Boss around the farm, and literally parts of it are starting to fall apart, namely the black plastic parts they use to hold it together (the plastic case). We've had it to the dealer and had those parts replaced, but they keep breaking. It's definitely had it's fair share of use, though. Gone through a couple tens of thousands of trees (no BS). So far the Husky has a bit more power (torque), and cuts better. Also, it's been holding up better, probably going to stick with Husky until something better comes along.

Solo also makes great saws, although we don't have one. Maybe that'll be the next saw if the Stihl and Husky ever actually give up the ghost.

PS: WATCH THOSE BAR TIPS! I narrowly missed getting a bar tip (on a running saw) across the forehead over the summer. If you start feeling fatigued at all, go do something else.
