Stihl Versus Husqvarna ease of parts changablity (mostly service tech complaints)

[Husky nut]

Which do you perfer working on Husky or Stihl...Like changing a fuel tank on a MS290 vs changing a fuel tank on any mid size Husky (137-385xp) or doing a rebuild on a MS440 vs a Husky 372XP....Lets here some rants of the designs

Me I find it easier to work on Dolmar. GEAUX TIGERS

We prefer Dolmar also, but I have better access to husqvarna parts.

I will work on Huskies first, then Stihl. dolmars arent too bad either.

I cannot vote cause it doesnot have a it doesnot matter post.
to me it really doesnot make any difference, I know I would prefer to stay away from track loading machines compared to dozers.

Stihl are easier to work on than a Dolmar or a Husky. At least the models I have fussed with.

I prefer stihl for their parts numbering system. Husqvarna for the easy access to their top ends.

Most chainsaws are about as simple as one can imagine. As Ed said, it really doesn't matter. If you have trouble working on one, you need to be doing something more constructive with your time. Perhaps hooked on phonics?

Same thing i was thinking...I just find it easier to rebuild a husqvarva then a stihl But easier to change most stihl carbs then husky's and so on...

With as many different brands of saws that I own it doesn't really matter!!!
