For me they were just a couple of saws that came through my pawn shop. I certainly don't profess to be very competent with one, but my house is well surrounded by trees and one has to fire up a saw every few months to maintain the place.
Somehow it ended up that the Husky and Jred were at the house at the same time. I was deciding which one to keep (eenie meanie minee moe) and as both had the same length bar I was going to swap for the best chain. That was when I took the photo.
So that's when I discovered that rather than Ford vs Chevy it was Chevy vs GMC.
I'll check into the Echo/Stihl connection that Ben brought up; I've kept an Echo climbing saw that's been my first choice when something needs cutting. I'm getting storage payments on a couple of Stihl climbers I can compare.
But really, Husky, Jred, Stihl, Echo; they are all quality saws. Three pulls and they're running.
I'm a bit suprised by Rusty's comment that Stihls are higher reving than Huskys, that's the opposite of what I hear at the shop. But from what I can see it's a Ford-Chevy-Dodge kind of thing.
But this is Arkansas; here they're not born with a silver spoon in their mouth but with a chain saw in their hand (not that we don't have some on the dole of course).
