After 10 years of using my sears 16" saw, I decided to get serious. I"m looking at the husky rancher, or the equivalent size stihl. I cut about 6 cord a season and $450 is around what im going spend. Now lets see what you guys think. Remember, I'm going use it as a all purpose saw(bucking limbing,etc). But I have no frame of reference to go by. So could you guys please help me decide. I see all the contractors around here use stihl, but on axeman they use husky. AAHHHHHHH! :ahhh: Oh my dilemma, I can only buy one or the other. (at least thats what the wife said) :shut:
