    More I read and listen to people they are all good in their own right. If I do get an echo I would like the 4910 but new 4920 model is replacing them. By video I seen almost get a pro saw build except for a couple items for at least 200cnd cheaper than the pro saw 501p

    Dad has an old homelite geez older than me. That thing is anything but home “light”. No vibration it just makes my hands numb so fast. Dad laughs and says that’s a man’s saw all we had back then haha

    I too have a Milwaukee chainsaw love it limbing and bucking up small amounts of wood. I have the 12, 9, 8 amp hour batteries. Usually by the time those or depleted so am I. But you start cutting anything over that 8” diameter sure uses that battery up.

    I have to quit watching YouTube videos haha one minute I think husqvarna next stihl next I think I don’t need a pro saw save a couple bucks. I like buckin billy ray smith he quoted “homeowner saw vs pro is like driving a ford focus or mustang which one will make you smile more?”

    If I was closer to you maybe I would I do like those 372. Being that I’m Canadian I would have to take out a mortgage to afford the exchange difference but I appreciate the offer. Lots of guys say that was the best saw husqvarna ever made

    Thank you. Ya I don’t mind spending extra money for a tool that will hopefully last. Im probably going to with the stihl but dealers can’t get any right now.

    Agreed damn it’s hard to choose think I have my mind made up thennnn. Really any saw will prob do a fine job if treated well. Like Japanese’s tractor can’t say why they wouldn’t make good chainsaws. It all comes down to preference

    lol. Like I said I prob don’t need a pro saw but everyone that has one said there is no comparison to a standard homeowner saw. I know the cost is a lot more but if it makes the job a bit easier and faster then perfect

    Thank you so much so much for the reply I have looked at some just online. I still want to check and hold the saw the Kubota dealer where I spend all my money is also an echo dealer but they don’t know much about product. People seem to say echo may not be the fastest/ best options but seem...

    Thank you. I’m leaning more towards the stihl right now lighter weight and more dealers make it more appealing but I’m sure can’t go wrong with either

    Best Tires for Year-Round Use on a Kubota LX2610

    I have had 2 Lx’s. One with R4, this one with r14. For summer performance I found them about the same on hard pack, black dirt rototilling, brush hogging in back 40. But where the R14 really shine over the R4 is winter, head and shoulders above the R4s in my opinion. I run a little...
