I can't tell you which brand but if I were buying again I would get a 20"
instead. Bought a Sears 18" because the 20 seemed too heavy. The 18 works
great but I would like the extra length to allow the shavings to drop out
before going into the saw. Also, the weight would be good cutting large
wood.

Hi folks,

I've done my homework but can't decide which chainsaw - a Husqvarna
350 or an Olea Mac 947. Both are about the same weight, both have 18"
bars, but the Huskie is bigger by 4 to 5cc. The Huskie is $100 (Aussie
fun tickets) more expensive but does come with a case. Which one to
buy!




I can't speak for the Husky 350 but I have a 372XP and love it. It will
pull up to a 32" bar easily. The 350 ought to handle a 20" with ease.
There
is a reason pro loggers use Husky saws. They are one toguh, reliable saw.
