I know not everyone has the need to own one....but for those of us who do what is owned? I have a
Husqvarna 460 Rancher. Has a 24" bar. Been using Oregon Skip Tooth chains on it. We have to maintain our own roads, which is pretty much what I use it for. Everything in our 'hood is Ponderosa Pine, so not that bad to cut. Most of what I am taking down is under a foot in diameter, with the occasional 20-22" diameter trunk. I sharpen the chains by hand, when I have a good sharp chain on it the saw has enough power, but it would not be bad if it had a bit more. Only thing I don't like about the saw is it leaks bar oil as it sits. Took it back to the shop I got it from when it was still new....they told me that this a trait of pretty much all Husqvarna saws. It normally sits on the back of our old F-150 so the leak is not that big of a deal. When it is in the garage I normally just lay it on top of a drain pan.....So what do you fine folks use....
