Why is Jimmy Carr in that photo?
i still have a husquvarna 61 hardwood that was released in the late 1980 to early 1990
i can not remember when i bought it new off the shelf for flitching sleepers back then
it was not a cheap chainsaw to buy ,up there in price with all the larger stihl chainsaws at the time
but at the time stihl had their saws made in mexico i think, and that never worked
you were forever returning them to be fixed ,that's why i went a husquvarna
i think the husquvarna chainsaws from 45cc and lower have a briggs and stratton engines in them from memory
everything over the 45cc are husquvarna engines
can not kill the 61 still love the old girl

I am the same SS. I bought mine in the late 80's for cutting firewood when I lived in Canberra and it never missed a beat. Fantastic brand. Cheers.

I find it better to have the coil to soil noise muffled since getting the GPX6000. The hollow coil on the 6000 and 7000 produces a lot of noise on some surfaces.
Sounds like the Merino story
And the rubber story, when Sir Henry Wickham broke the South American rubber tapping monopoly by secretly buying seeds and smuggling them back to Kew Gardens in England, from where they were spread to Ceylon, Singapore, Malaya and Indonesia.

Yes we're a greedy bunch. I think it would work out very nicely if we went back to each specializing in their own industry and happily trading with each other. Remember way back when we visited the neighbour with a bunch of bananas and returned with a bucket of milk?
