>Local bargain news paper has a Husqvarna 41 for sale for $139. Anyone know if this is the equivolent of the current 141 model? If so, this is not any kind of deal.

Thanks

>No bargain, Mark. It is worth no more than $75 if it is good condition and you can run it.

My opinion of a used chainsaw is that the new price was cut in half when the guy took it home and used it for the 1st time.

There is a 41 on E-Bay with the current price at $30. That should give you some idea of its value.

The Husky 41 with the 16" bar was a "light weight" saw that sold new for less than $200, and the 141 that replaces it is also less than $200 if you shop around.

Husky 41 is a Poland

>The cheap saws sold by Husky are actually made by Poulan which Husqvarna now owns. The parts are interchangeable but the color is different. The 51 was a fair saw, the 61 and larger are very good saws.

>That is basically what I thougt, but thought I would check with the experts.

I hate to admit it in this forum, but I have a POO-LAN with a 20" bar the works pretty well for as little as I do with wood from logs.

Thanks
