    .
    Huskys made in China, never heard that one before. I googled it and found some 2 series huskys were made in Brazil to make up supply otherwise Sweden is the place of manufacture. Not saying anyone is lying but just saying... I've had 3 and 4 series huskys and all made in Sweden.
    Solo brandwise is as good as Husky, stihl etc.

    They sell husky and stihl oil in six pack bottles, each one is measured to mix with a gallon (3.7l) of gas (petrol for you unzudder types). That is how I have always bought my smoke oil and never had a problem.

    The saws I was shown at the dealers had Made in China or Made in America on them & in there hand books. The dealer pointed it out to me.
    I'm not biased. The thought of American production lines no longer makes me think quality first. Now I initially think profit. Same as China.

    It's all live & learn really. I always assumed Sweden too. Guess they moved closer to market,

    I thought the American Husqvarnas had rancher stamped into the handle, the chinese ones had a single thin fall line in the body, and the swedish ones the thick fall lines in the body.

    Clones

    There are clones of Husqvara saws coming out of China but with their own brand name. I don't believe they are manufactured under licence - they simply look very similar which is entirely deliberate.

    We shouldn't knock China too quickly - their factories are capable of building good quality equipment which is why Apple and others have established plants there.

    Personally I accept a Chinese saw (plenty on TM) will do the job so long as you don't plan to pick it up season after season. For the casual home user who doesn't expect much, they can be very good.

    Here is a link and comment 5 is by a Kiwi who has used Stihls:

    http://forestry.about.com/b/2008/08/...re-rubbish.htm

    Comment:

    "So for the home user I feel these are fine, obviously there are some bad eggs, but for the money we pay in NZ for these Chinese saws they are damn good value. Any professional user would not buy Chinese anyway in my mind, I always ran Stihl during my logging years, but wasn’t prepared to pay $NZ 1150 for the equivalent saw to the Chinese one.

    My only advice for the Chinese saws is to replace the original spark plug with a Champion or similar, and be prepared to adjust carburettor a couple od times during break in. They do require a 25:1 ratio fuel, but the good quality oils such as Castrol etc have barely a puff of smoke at that ratio nowadays. Just my opinion, but I feel for the price we pay (here in NZ anyway) they are good value."


    Here is an example on TM - http://www.trademe.co.nz/business-fa...-685111784.htm

    we absolutely should. no-one should buy anything from china. we don't need to be propping up their economoney, there's enough nomoney here in nz to worry about.

    second to that, their qc is, on the whole shit.

    tertiarily, their chainsaws are heavier than comparable models, unbalanced which leads to fatigue and white finger a lot quicker, much quicker to wear out and generally or otherwise are poos to use.

    so no. fuck china.

    I have one of those 460's too, but without the rancher bit. My 365 special does most of my work now though, And that is a real good saw. I used to be all Sthil, but the parts and the like are just too damn expensive.

    Just stumbled onto this...http://thecounterfeitreport.com/prod...Chainsaws.html

    Bit hard to tell one from the other when looking at them.

    Several fair statements right there.

    The 365 is a much better saw than the 460. Lighter and more power. The 460 is the biggest of the farm/ranch saws and the 365 is the beginning of the pro grade line.
