Not being able to distinguish friendly ribbing from serious comments/arguments, and behaving in a hostile manner when you see comments/arguments that you don't like, seem to be your problem........

Must not be much of a problem. I've got a bunch of positive rep's from this post alone! :biggrinbounce2:

I have been watching you for some time, and concluded that a neg-rep was due, after that post above...

Now you've been watching me? I kind of figured you had no life. Between posting 8.97 posts a day and now "watching me", you pretty much cleared that up!

Anyway, I got one in return from you.........

Did you actually expect me not to? :bang:

Thanks!

Put me on ignore if you don't like my posts, simple as that.....

....and of course, I know that goes both ways, but I guess I am a bit too curious......:biggrinbounce2:

If your house is going to be heated by wood stove and you live in the toolies where the weather gets rough I'd get the best I could get. I'd go for either a Husky 357XP or 575XP (I like the later). But so much depends on your budget, your house's insulation properties, wood availability and storage situation, help in felling, splitting, etc.

Here is some info about the 575XP from the Husky website.

575XP
Our most advanced saw for professional users who require peak performance. Larger displacement, higher peak power and torque and even better ergonomics combine to ensure maximum productivity.
More power where you need it
The X-TORQ engine design increases torque<br/> over a wider rpm range and results in maximum cutting power. Improved handle design
The rear handle is asymmetrically designed with comfort inserts for a more solid and less tiring grip.
Optimized saw body
A smooth underside, rounded starter cover and well-protected controls make the saw easy to handle, reduce the risk of getting caught in tree branches and make transportation easier. Durability
Available with Heavy-Duty air filter.
Air Injection
Air Injection. Centrifugal air cleaning system for longer intervals between filter cleanings, smoother operation and reduced wear. Quick chain adjustments
Side-mounted chain tensioner make chain adjustment quick and easy.

You do...............then why do you DWELL on them so much?

Hey, we aren't in a courtroom here, are we? Ease up and mellow out!

The bickering over small details has tended to get a bit out of hand lately. And since it has "come out" in this thread, I'll put in my 2 cents.

As for Troll's specs, he is just sharing information that he has at his disposal. The specs, and even more so the history of some saw models/families, has been very helpful to me. I appreaciate that he takes the time to answer my questions, and I'm sure many other members would say the same. He readily admits that those specs are only part of the story, and that they are sometimes inaccurate. (as far as I'm concerned, most saw specs are suspect). At least he is posting stuff he has taken the time to look up, rather than just spouting off as many do.


2156/357 vs. MS361? These saws are SO close, that's kind of a waste of time to argue which one is better. Who cares if one saw has a marginal advantage on the spec chart? Since the power is fairly equal, other things such as the feel and sound of the saw and where you buy it are more important variables in the purchase process. Some people like a red saw more than an orange one. I'm a Jonsered/Husky guy and that's what I have. Can the MS361 "beat" my 2156? I don't know, but it won't bother me a bit if it can. I do enjoy a bit of good natured kidding around about this, but you'd have to be a nitwit to take it seriously.

The Husky/Stihl rivalry can be a fun deal, but if a grown man really gets upset because the "other" brand might have a slight advantage in a particular comparison, it's pretty embarassing.

My approach to "specs" is about like this;

Start with the manufacturers ones, then add independent test reports that you find (not "consumers digest" type tests), and then add user opinions and cutting comparisons + some common sense to the overall picture......

Cutting comparisons with one cutting attachment, in one type and size of wood, is of nil to no value, as you might have hit the "sweet-spot" with one of the saws, and you may be way off that spot with the other - you never know for sure.....
