    This breaks my heart fellas. The Ex is taking me back to court for the 2nd time in two years... So i will sell whatever it takes to keep my daughter.
    So here it is... My pride and joy... Not used much Husqvarna 545. The pics are right before winter... Which is one of the last time i had it out i think. I will put current pics up later hopefully. I just checked it all over and installed and sharpened a brand new 16" oregon chain. This cuts right there with my 550 xp. Nice Ash killer saw ! Ready to cut.. Close to new as a fella can get. Bought from Terry for $460 to my door PHO. Would like to get $385 shipped to lower 48. image.jpg image.jpg

    Awful sorry to hear you have to deal with your ex a second time HF. Hope things work out for you. You know the 257 perty well with an 18" bar... how would the 545 do pulling on an 18" bar and chain compared to the 257? How about weight 257 vs 545?

    Ill never get use to it. But... Theres a reason for everything i suppose.
    I think the 545 would run an 18" just fine. I have run the 16" bar buried... And it likes it ! I usually cut stuff 12" and down... And it zips right on through it like crazy ! Id say it weighs about a couple pounds lighter than the 257.... Plus the balance is way different on the 545. Better in my opinion... And keep in mind i love the 257 !
    I think the 545 would run right with the 257 both with 18" bars no prob. And in some situations maybe quicker :)

    Whenever me and my buds are hanging out and we see a beautiful woman and one of them wants to talk to her, I always tell them this:
    I guarantee there's at LEAST one dude who just can't STAND that bee-och, most likely more than one. Are you sure you want to be the next?

    Sorry about the battle bro, thought I'd try to get a laugh anyway.
    You can always buy another one down the road. Way to do what's needed!

    Now, if that didn't get a rise outta ol' HoneyFuzz (& I've bought a saw from him, talked on the phone with J, and heard him laugh(not about selling me a saw- I think?!) ) I'd be shocked- really good guy right there. Fuzz, you're doing right by yer daughter... And if you need another saw, I might could set ya up with a 266se for a real deal:rofl: :lol::faint::thumbs::whistle::yes::wacky:
