    I have a fresh 064 in really nice condition. Doesn't get used often, but enjoy running it from time to time.

    I'm in no way a saw elitist from my perspective
    When I started cutting and working on saws in the 80s
    Husqvarna ruled the industry locally
    Because of primarily cost alone.
    One good saw log would buy a powerhead
    The 266s were primary the choice of poplar/pine and hardwood fallers until 268/272/371/372s came along
    Same with 181/281/288/394/395s
    Stihls we're around 30% more expensive to run
    My brother has his own logging company
    For over 30 years.
    He could make those saws sing and was a very talented faller and timber
    Walker/pricer for everyone.
    He had many stihls I serviced this was before porting was a thing
    Some stihls were strong the 064s and some 066s
    But he just didn't buy many 044s
    Oddly his climbing saws were
    017s lol
    He just simply liked the cutting speed of Husqvarna's and they were more economical to run.
    Jonsereds we're probably 2nd place in popularity then Stihl.

    I worked on one of those for a guy awhile back. Only had a 20" bar on it.
    Mandatory to use the decomp EVERY pull of the handle, or it would yank it right through my fingers.
    Heavy SOB!

    Ah. Ok. I'm planning on being at Denny's in April for his GTG barring any unforeseen life "stuff". I'll put some faces to FHC handles then.

    Oh, believe me, Chesaning GTG's are some of the most enjoyable ones I've ever been to. You should recognize at least one guy here.....
