Around here we see a lot of Stihl and Husky. I haven’t heard anything bad about Dolmar either.

Stihl is what I see most guys using, that are using it everyday.

Pretty much stihl here also, would be great if they didn't keep getting stolen 
We do have an old partner 14" that despite it's issues seems to always run when you need it

95% sthil 4% husky 1% others in my area we have a couple good sthil dealers and one husky so sthil wins.

Last night i loaded up a tiller that i had got that i didnt need and today at 3:30 i went and traded it on a Dolmar Pc7414. I was back at work by 4:10. I think they make 3 sizes i got the middle one.I may have got the smaller one if i could have tryed it out but i didnt like all the antivib mounts it had.I ask a amish buddy that has a concrete buisness he has 2 and said they were lighter than most saws. If its like most things i think adout buying for along time then finally get it will be very handy.
Its been hot but i used the saw. I had several things that were needing down sized or seperated before i could haul them off and the saw is faster and easyer than a torch on small or thin things. I cane see that it will be something i wount be with out from now on.

I bought a husky in 2013 and it's still cutting today - only had to replace the carb due to crappy ethanol. It's been a great saw and I'll buy one again.
Our Stihl at 3 years old has only broke the recoil starter - one of the fins on the little aluminum cup broke off.
Many moons ago we had a Makita. I threw the box of parts away a couple of months ago after the box sat in the shop for 8 years.
My vote is Husky, Stihl 2nd and run from a Makita.
