I don't have any pics of them but I have 4 Husqvarna items. 2 chain saws, a 142 and a 240. I won them both through our NWTF banquet. The 240 I won a couple months ago but have never used it. The 142 gets used on the farm but has been getting a lot of use the last 10 days as I have been cutting down a lot of pine trees and chunking them up on the new farm we bought. I also have a 326P5 pole saw that gets used clearing field edges of overhanging branches. I also used it on the pine trees that were planted along the road way next to the power lines. I cut the limbs up as far as I can then top the tree with the pole saw so that it falls without touching any of the low wires. Works great and has been one of my favorite purchases. Starts up on the first or second pull every time. The fourth item is the 326HD75 hedger. I bought it for use mainly in and around the vineyard but have used it a few times on actual hedges. Its nice in the vineyards as the one vineyard I bought had been neglected and the briars were overgrown in it so the hedger had been great for cutting them down to the grown and allowing me to start getting them and the rest of the weeds under control.
All 4 items came from The Power Shop in Fredonia, NY. The owner is a great guy and he donates an item to our banquet every year. So I do my best to support him when I can. Both saws he donated were complete kits. They came with the case, bar oil, fuel oil mix, Husqvarna gloves (which I have found to be very high quality) and the Husqvarna ear protection and a set of their safety glasses. I also bought the Husqvarna helmet with built in ear protection, front screen and the flap on the back to keep chips from falling down the back of your shirt. I use it anytime I take the pole saw out and even a few times when I am just using the regular saw. Its a very comfortable hat and has deflected a lot of branches from hitting my head or face. Working with the pines I use it because it seems like every 5 or 6 limbs I pick up to toss on a pile one of the twigs springs back and hits the screen.
I don't keep up with the saws really but I am curious what your guys opinion is of the 142 and 240? The 240 is made in Sweden and the 142 is "assembled" in the USA. Other then that I know very little about them. The 142 does great for my use and I don't really need two of them but for some reason I don't really want to part with either of them.
