About 80 taps and a sapsucker.

The picture is blurred, what model and bar length did you get? I have 2 huskies and really like them. I have a 359/20" bar and a 365/20" & 34" bars. The 34" bar is only used on occassions when I either have a BIG tree to drop or a big log to buck on my sawmill. The big trees I could usually cut with a 20" but the big bar is handier. Bucking big logs on the mill is much easier if I can cut from one side only. That is really why I bought that bar length.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
Picture is blurry isnt it. crappy camera, not shaky hands. Its a 435, with a 16" bar. all I've had until now is poulan because they're cheaper, but I go through one in 3-4 years. Maybe this one will last longer if I take care of it better. definitely an upgrade.

2010: 8 taps, got the bug and had to build a barrel arch to boil on with a borrowed 2x2 flat pan
2011: 13 taps, made changes to my arch, doubled my boil rate
2012: 31 taps, and a new homemade 275 oil tank arch
for my new ( to me) 2x4 divided pan

I also bought a HUSKY 435 after my Poulon burned up. First better grade saw I have owned and I am very pleased with it. The difference in the 435 to my Poulon is night and day. I can't imagine what a top of the line saw must be like!

Not sure about that, definitely some retailers listing Husqvarna saws as made in America. Seems to be some conflicting info online. Still nice saws, though. I'll stick to my Stihl for now (still on the lookout for that Dolmar/Makita 7900 though).

Went off the deep end. Might be in over my head...
Motowbrowne, I recently bought a Makita/Dolmar dcs6421 and just love it. Baileys had it on sale for $599, the comparable Husky was $725. After chucking my 455 rancher for the last time out of frustration, I decided to get a pro saw. The Dolmars are very well made with plenty of power. I've owned Husqvarna, Jonsered and poulan before,(smaller saws), and the Makita is a big step up.
