We've been running Husky saws for the last 30+ years. Up till the last 10 years or so they had never let us down. Last real good one was a 272. The 372 weren't to bad till a few years ago then we switched to 365's without heated bars or carbs. They've just kept on getting poorer in quality from what we've seen. The addition of epa mandates certainly hasn't helped them any but they've been going down hill somewhat from what we've seen here. Dealer I know has been selling them for as long as I can remember this year is the first year they are strictly stihl. He sold 3 new 365 saws within a couple of days and they all came back for something or another. We bought our first Stihl saw this year. A MS441 arctic so we're going to try it out and see how it goes. Husqvarna never left us completly stranded in the bush but it looked and sounded like it was time to jump ship and try something else.
