    Im a Stihl owner/ user and dont know Husky that well. Ive had a recent encounter with a Husky 266 and am told its a great saw. Can all the Husky gurus educate me on these?

    Not much to say other than a bad mambajamba! A good running 266(SE or XP) will walk you like a dog. :yes:

    I gotta add- that ol’ feller walt loves the 262XP’s... he’ll carve an ash to the ground like a turkey breast on T day! :thumbs:

    Almost all of the 2 series Husqvarna are awsome saws! I have a 266 SE that's in very nice original condition. It's my favorite saw.
