I'm a Stihl guy.

I have damn good reasons too.

My 034, 046 and now 500i run everytime I need them, and do the work I need them to. Dependability and effectiveness are good enough reasons for me to be a Stihl guy. I have nothing against other brands, but I also have no reason to switch from what's worked for me for over 30 years.

Same can be said for Husqvarna here, have heated my home for over 45 years with them. Never owned a Stihl saw, cut with them, repaired them, step-brother owns them, husky dealer here is far better than other brands. I don’t really care what brand I have when cutting as long as it’s chain is sharp.

Olive oil is the best.
Three to four soup spoons daily
and will protect your heart and arteries,lower your cholesterol,
strengthen brain function and protect the nerves while will awake
any "sleepy" reproductive system.
Which other oil offers that much ?

You can't hide money
I have a few Stihls.....and a few Husqvarnas. About the same amount of each. When I mention that I prefer Stihl.....I'm referring to new saws really. After the 372XP OE and 346XP NE era.....there ain't a Husqvarna made that I would own.

The homeowner Husqvarna's are
God damn air leaking sonsabitches
I don't like any of the condom saws
Always a bulb or line or intake leaking eventually.
I don't get many newer saws just stuff locals don't want to pay 100.00 an hour shop rate to fix.
Actually most of my work is keeping old stihls and husky's running
Dealers want customers buying new so they don't even service them.

Mushroom 8. Built this for myself a few years ago. Cuts the majority of my own firewood as well as quite a bit of gtg firewood/cookies. Probably 40 gallons of fuel . And loaned it to my boy last spring to take down about 100 maple, ash, beech…he put about 10 gallons through it clearing for his house and barn. Dominator at 32:1 from day 1
