Sthil vs Husqvarna

Ehhhhhh till you try a 372 xp then you will chunk the 361 lol!

I thought the 372 was more comparable to a 441. It's a much bigger saw than the 361 and you can call me a wuss, Rope, but that 361 is, IMO, the BEST saw for use after you're done with the 200. No point in haulin' a monster round the tree when you don't need to.

Ms 361 wont cut the trees I do I would sit back and watch you attack
a 49" dbh white oak dead and lmao. Anyway I don't notice the weight
of a 372 and if I started to, I would wag the 395 a few days to build up lol.

No wonder you're always in pain, old man! Look, all I'm sayin' is for most trees ( at least in my area ) a secondary saw needs no more than a 20 inch bar for IN TREE use. I have a 28" and 36" bars for when I need to fire up the ol' 066 ( which would stomp the lights outta your 395 lol ) but very rarely is that needed in the tree. Usually 20" will suffice up there. My 361 pulls 20" like a mofo and it's a heckuvalot lighter than a 372, 575, 441, et al.

I find I regret hauling up a 20 inch, just not quite enough bar a lot of times. I mean I wish I could get away without dragging up the 24 inch.

Well, not all of us are on the 3 saw plan, Dantheman.

Not necessarily. Though I'm just a tad partial to Huskys, I think weight is important.

And:

The now discontinued 440 is a tad lighter than a 372, if both are equipped similarly, half wrap, small dogs, for instance.

The 361 is about the same as the 357....I forget exactly.

The 660 is a fair bit lighter than the 395.
The 460, while not quite in the same class as the 385, is lighter.

The 346, though a better saw (or so most think) than the 260, is heavier.....

man, forget husky or stihl...what you need is a wild thang!! haha
not really..husky and stihl both make awesome saws. find the saw in the class you want and then decide based on dealer support and which one feels best to you
