Just got reminded of the Texas Chainsaw Massacar movie. lolz
I had Solo 651 from Baileys - yellow - and it was nothing but trouble.
When it finally died, wife got me 455 Husqvarna. Love that thing, strong like an ox and light enough.
I still have some chains and bar left from the Solo, it was narrow kerf. I replaced the sprocket on the Husqvarna and run the 20" Solo bar with narrow kerf chain on it. That thing is an animal, I maybe never go back to original 3/8 chain again.
If you ever get to tear down a 372 or other saw that has been run on 50:1 you will see why 40:1 is a better option. Bearings need lubricant and 50:1 is a epa thing IMO. Look for the oil residue on your bearings on a saw run at 50 :laughing:. It's your saw and your money :licking:. Pay me now or pay me later :thumbsup:. I run at 32:1 and never past 40:1.

So the 019T is a Canadian version/ model #?
Husqvarna Rancher. (55 I believe). One of the best! It has a cast motor housing, unlike the plastic ones they went to, then covered with metal! It works very well and really does the job. You would have to buy a used one as they aren't made any more.

Well I hate to say this, but I have a little Husky 235. Allot of plastic and it does NOT start every time. Maybe after 5 or six. Pretty new unit too. Not impressed with its ability to cut either.
So my next new purchase will be a Stihl.
