    Chainsaws

    Looking at trading up from my mini boss to the husky 435 e series. Want something slightly bigger but not too big that I can’t handle. Thoughts ?

    @Rossco your time to shine mate!
    Can't comment on the Husky Kat but I've got the Stihl MS461 and it has been one of the best purchases I have ever made. I will pass that saw onto my kids

    Yeah unfortunately a Stihl man so can't comment on Huskies, not anything nice lol. Nah just like Ford & Holden both have their merits. Can't beat Stihl for parts & service backup the rest is up for debate around the fire. .

    Horses for courses Kat, not much different between asking someone Holden or Ford, Nissan or Toyota

    I have an older Husky 372XP, its got balls but weights a bit compared 2 the newer and smaller ones. With tennis elbow and bursitis of the shoulder I actually dread been on the end of it these days and have thought on a few occasions of trading it in on something smaller and yes always having a Husky I would still consider a Stihl.

    What do you mainly use it for?

    I'm not sold on electric chainsaws yet but maybe something 2 consider also

    Love my $250 mini boss but after 9 years it’s costing more than a new one. We run 4 wood heaters, so firewood mostly. But we both hate splitting wood with stuffed backs and necks we can’t, so the wood we cut isn’t huge. The size of the mini boss is good for camping tho. I’m mainly looking at huskies cos they have a blower thingy that blows sawdust away from the air filter, stihl does not. But neither have pink.

    Have also considered battery operated ?

    You need a Splitter. @Winnie and @matfew can give you advice on a splitter. That one that Roofy has is a rippa too. Made light work of it.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
