In Maine, they'd pronounce it "Husk Vanna" by default.
P.S: My buddy used to own a Husky Trencher. With a new knobby
on the back of his 400, it'd dig a trench as long as it had
gas in the tank and as deep as the seattop. Torquey li'l sum
bish.

Amazing. I don't even know why I was reading this thread, but I was
feelin' bad because the pronunciations were nowhere near how I have
always said it. Then you explain it and write it exactly as I say it
"huskevarna". I do feel better now :)

LOL.... Thank you....from an official no doubt.. I always mispronounced it
and am sure I still do as I am from Texas. We Texans hear and say things a
bit different... I recall my wife buying a Husqvarna sewing machine. The
new tool... came with a Video Cassette Tape that introduced you to the new
sewing machine. I recall the factory workers on the tape pronouncing the
name in a way I had never dreamed of. I caught Who's-varna. But that is a
bit of Texas ear mixed in.. LOL

Our fire department is replacing our XL-98's (Homelite I think), with
Husky's for roof work. Not chain saws but equipped with 14" carbide
circular blades. Had the opportunity to use one opening a roof at a
fire the other day. WOW. Little heavier and requires a precise
starting procedure, (compression release) but once running it will slice
right through anything: multiple layers of shingles, sheathing, rafters,
ladders, thighs and not bog a bit.
Used to own a rifle made by Husky. So, they made sewing machines,
motocycles, rifles, chainsaws, and ?????

Lawn mowers. Had one of the earliest robot mowers, too. Their mowers are on a
par with the other stuff they make...excellent.

Some of the mowers, some of them are good. The Husqvarna home use walk-behind
mowers are made by AYP. Identical to the also flimsy ones they make for Sears.
I've seen them side by side.

I think I have noticed that some of their newer lawnmowers have a
Briggs & Scrapiron engine.

Actually, if you get a commercial sized engine in a Husky, Stihl or
Jonsered; you got one helluva reliable, hard-working saw. Most dealers
will work on all brands. Mine, one of the 3 listed above, is over 20
years old and still runs like new. Maintenance, a sharp chain, a bar
with a roller tip make all the difference.

Had a friend when I was in the Navy (late 60's) who had a Husky off road
bike of some sort. It dug trenches too, and damn that thing was noisy.
It had more balls than a golf course.
Figures.

In Maine they are running ads on the radio to teach us how to pronounce
that word;
"Husk" like in corn,
"Var" like varnish but without the "ish,'
and "Nah", like "Nah, I don't want no other stinkin' chainsaw."

Now we know!!
