Point is you shouldn't have to replace parts on a new saw to make it be able to do what is supposed to be designed to do, especially a saw that already costs around $1000.00

Well then start your own company and take all the best features from each brand and make the Dustin 1000 ... I guarantee you will be quite wealthy ! Gotta do Treework in am - I’m out

Available in Canada Nov 1 usd $1029 ... local STIHL emailed me today ... Jan/Feb USA price starts at $1050

Are you talking $1029 Usd?
They are $1399 Cad and up, so that is pretty accurate. Just for reference I can get a Makita 7901 pho for a little over $900 plus tax. An x-torq from the local dealer is between $1000-1100 out the door. Canadian dollars of course.

That is complete BS, plenty of loggers here have had them for 3 or more years, if you only knew half as much as you thought you did.

Are you confusing loggers with landscapers with rakes and curved shaft Echo weed wackers on a trailer being pulled behind a Ford Explorer?

show me the facts on Stihl VS Husky saws blowing up. Looks at my sig dude. i'm a Stihl guy because of dealer support. but i'll run any saw . There are people here that need good info on all saws not somebody blowin up that one is better than the other. It all comes down to good dealer support and what feels good in the operators hands. Saws are a tool and tools wear out. If you don't take care of them they will break no matter what brand. i see pics of saws here and other forums that have about 10 lbs. of crud on hem and the OP wants to know why it don't run right.

I don't know what's wrong with it... I forgot to put oil in the gas for Just one tank ...it couldn't possibly have burned up LOL

So I think this 60cc awesomest saw battle has been narrowed down to Stihl ms362 vs Husky 562xp??

Or what?

I’m starting to get confused..

Nope just go get a dolmar and call it a day then you won't have to worry about which of the other two are better.

 

[farmer steve]

Huh. After all this it turns into Husky vs Stihl.

All is right with the thread.

you forgot Echo.

That confusion abounds

I have two Dolmars. I don’t like their current 60cc choice

 

[holeycow]

you forgot Echo.

Who?

Oh right; they who don’t play in the big woods.

Oh good grief! How did we go from a 60cc saw discussion to talking about an ms461 being the top dog of whatever???? I DO own a 461, had it 6 months or so and its been a POS! Top end, built. Bottom end, built. Meanwhile the 576xp it does duty with just keeps cutting logs. And btw, even when its right, the 461 wont cut with the 576 even though the 576 is giving up a little displacement to the obese stihl.

Yah , 461s are dogs in stock trim ... with mods they really come alive and turn into wood-slayers !

 

[Frank Rizzo]

I wonder where Stihl got the idea from for air injection from for there new 462????

Uh , see 441c

 

[dustinwilt68]

7910 sees lots of logger use in my area, luckily we have a few good dealers for multiple brands, and old Fabz is making my point for me, if I have to spend additional $ on top of the most expensive saw in the class to make it perform with the less expensive saws why even consider a 461? Unless your just a Stihl fan boy, which he obviously is, other companies build a better saw for less, pretty simple. Even my Stihl buddies will admit the 461 is overrated

 

[dustinwilt68]

Yes and husky has had air injection since the 80s

Yah , if you are a saw “collector” then do what works for you ... I on the other hand , use the saws for gain and to heat me dwelling ... I have absolutely NO problem investing $1500 in a tool that’s going to pay for itself 20 times over during its lifespan ... We all have our own opinions Dustin ; and we are entitled to them ... we are not however entitled to our own “facts”

 

[dustinwilt68]

Facts are facts, other companies build a superior saw, FACT!

Ok ... I’m looking for an 064

 

[dustinwilt68]

For the power to weight that's a great choice, I have 3, I sell you one, ported or stock?
