This is a Husqvarna 181SE bought new in 1986(28 years old) and a 55 Rancher bought new in 1999(15 years old). They have cut a bunch of wood. I have never had a problem with either one. I ran a bow on the 181 for years until they became difficult to find. My next saw will be a 372XP. I painted those bars with woodmizer spray paint after redressing them.

Nice chunk of wood!!
Yeah, it's 32" on one end and 28" on the other 12' long. Will have to give it a haircut before I can cut it with the LT15. I have been chipping the dirt filled bark off with the flat end of a pic axe. I won't be dragging another one through the dirt.

Amen! Seen that more than once. Take care of your tools and they will take care of you. It's a rule!

Any particular reason why the chain brake handles are missing ???
The first thing I did when I bought my saws was to take the chain brake off. They just seemed aggravating to me. But now as I have got older I wish I would have left them on. I am obsessive about taking care of my stuff.
