Ahhhhh, Come on now. Didn't any body tell you that Stihl gets there arses kicked more times than a husky.

I just couldnt bring myself to cheer for a Poulan.

And you dont need to use the loser smiley. We already know you are.

Mow, Mow, Mow.
Your are about as sharp as a butter knife tonight.
I refuse to have a battle of wits when someone has a empty barrel.

So I bid you a fare well and a good night.

Sweat dreams of your new Husky. LOL

Wasn't to hard to hold the fort down. I have been busy lately cutting fire wood and getting the food plots brush hogged.
There was a sudden down pore two days ago while running the tractor.
So I headed for the camper and waited it out. As soon as the rain stoped,
four fawns and one doe came out to eat.
Then came the turkeys, total of six, stripping the seed heads off the rye.
what a sight to see.
Well I have some chainsaw repair to start on before work so good seeing everybody playing well together.:clap:
 
94, 99, and 91 - respectively.

I'd take the MS660 from those, but I don't care about racing.......:yoyo: :yoyo:

Thanks, Troll. I kind of wanted him to research his saw. 4cc should not make a 25% difference in cut speed.
I don't understand the mentality of some one attacking something they don't seem to know anything about.
A bunch of years ago I was using stock 064 and 044 as primary saws and loved them. Due to changes in local dealers I had to change to a Husky 268 and 394. I was very unhappy with them compared to the stihls. But now with a mild woods port I really like a 395 and a 372 is a huge improvement in the 70cc class. I like a 66 for cutting green timber,ported of course, but the dead, dry dusty stuff that I have been cutting stops up the filter on the Stihl really fast.
Why all this hate and trash talk? Does Mow have stock in Stihl. I learned a long time ago, not to run some ones decal on my car unless they paid me for it.

We have a bingo!

The ONLY way I see to resolve this is by pure stock (as delivered from the factory) testing by an independent testing agency. Even then the vested interests of repair people, dealers and individual preferences would cloud any results. This silly conflict will doubtless continue as long as there are trees to cut.

Buy the saw that makes you happy and to HEL-CK with those flaming your decision.

However, if you come here and ask an opinion...

After reading all of this what I would like to find out which saw Stihl or Husky holds up over the long haul. This arguement over a one half second here or there dosen't mean much when I want a saw that will keep on cutting year after year. I an not every day user but I cut firewood and do quite a bit of clearing and have a 12 year old 023 that I have been using and this thing just won't quit. I have since bought a MS361 but if some body could convince me that a Husky will hold up as long and as well as the Stihl I might consider it.
What do you say.


:chainsawguy:
 
How long a pro Husky or pro Stihl chainsaw last depends on the operator and the care taken of the saw.

I totally agree My 372 I purchased from my dealer has at or more than 2000hrs and performs like new if it layed down tomorrow I could not complain!
If I had all the wood brush and trees it has cut piled up in one spot it
I feel would be as high as the empire state building well you get the point!
I wish they could make cars so dependable and cost effective as the
saw pays for itself a hundred times over at least.

I try to take care of my equipment even though I do not make a living with my saws that kind of investment warrants a good maintenance policy. What I want to know is in the middle of all this argument of which brand cuts faster and has a better weight to horsepower ratio which one with the proper care lasts will longer. I still can get parts for the 023 from my dealer what about parts for a 12 year old Husky.

I am not a Huskie man so can't really answer that. I would imagine that they are available for a good time as well. Seems both make saws that are around for a long time before major changes occur. I don't see you having a problem.

Usually after twelve years I am ready for a change but I have
a twenty two year old husky I get parts for but not all parts
are easy to find for any vintage saw.

I was typing my reply when you answered I think that what you are saying is that if you buy something of quality to begin with, and take care of it then its really not a case of what brand you buy but how you use it. So in this both brands would be considered equal.

Yes thay both have their places. Main thing is how it feels to the user and dealer support.
That's why I run STIHL.

Yeah most likely same or near but preference is what it is all about
for instance I shoot Mathews compound and a homemade long bow
someone else swears by bow tech and a recurve we are both right
as they are our preference. Sure we are gonna pick at each other it
is only natural~

Huskys are sold mainly in big box around here and there are 2 full service Stihl dealers within 5 miles of where I live so that is the reason that I bought the MS361 that and the fact that is read Arboistsite.com. :clap:
