    Of that bunch probabley the 039 was the top of the line .It had enough power but how long they might hold up I have no idea . Funny though because when they snatched Toms saws several times they stole an 039 and left a 281 Huskey and an 038 Mag behind .Crack heads were never blessed with a lot...

    Husky or Stihl?

    I have never operated those Husqvarna saws for the simple reason that brand is almost non existant in these parts . My neighbor who I recently mentioned bought a very nice 290 lately for I think 250-300 bucks .I was sceptical having remembered the older 029 which I thought were a piece of junk...
