some of the reviews are obviously BS... but some it really depends on the reveiwer.

The Husky Rancher I am looking at for a lite duty homeowner saw.. it is big and heavy.. for more professional users.. it is small and light.

My FIL has a Huskie and it seems to be a good saw, but it gets very little use.

It's about time for me to finish getting ready and head out the door. Might get out early today because of the rain, but will have to wait and see on that one.

Have a great day! :)
