stihl vs husky

[bwalker]

Ryan, In all honesty I think I am going to have to conciete that Otto is correct about the 372 being faster. The 440 just doesnt seem to rap out like the 372 does. Maybe its a break in issue or the carb is off, but its my gut that the 372 will beat it. BTW you should love that 066, just dont carry it too far. I ran a friend of mines once and it was the baddest saw I have ever touched.

Ben, you may be right about the 372 being slightly faster but which one will holdup better??? i can't wait to get the 066 in and put it in some 30'' oak

 

[bwalker]

Dunno Ryan. I havent heard of many 372 bighting the dust early though.

 

[Ryan Willock]

i'm not saying that they are a bad saw at all, nor that they don't hold up..... just which one's easier to work on and will take the most beating??? i came real real close to buying a 372 when i bought the 460:angel:

Ryan you should have been looking at the 385xp not the 372xp if you were trying to decide between the 046 and a husky equivalent. Granted the 385 comes with a weight penalty, but it comes with a extra speed also. The tuners have said that they have gotten their largest gains from the 346 and the 385, so you can imagine what over 40% increase is like from a baseline like that of the 385.

BTW. the 372 has nothing to be ashamed of as far as durability - compared to any model/make saw out there.

Otto, i know. i considered the 385 as well but my local stihl dealer gave me a good deal on a new 460 and since i do happen to have a fondness for orange and gray......

Just my usual amount of beer.
Someone is using the name "Beavergirl" on another forum and
we are guessing who it is. She/he spells too good to be Lambert!

Fish, never thought of that one.

Then obviously it can't be Otto either. :Eye: :Eye:

 

[Fish]

So it is you?

 

[Lobo]

Hardly! can't be me, I majored in sex, booz and partying in college.

Never went to lit. classes, I was always too hung over, therefore can't write that well even 30 years later.

That sounds like my college career. Its hard to pay attention in lit class when you pulled a all nighter on a tuesday night.

when are you people gonna learn, trappers get more beaver

 

[bwalker]

I got the bright idea I was going to trap when I was about 12. I found a bunch of holes in the ground which I thought where fox holes. They turned out to be skunks. I caught three on the three traps I put out. I had to wait till the things rotted away before I could retrieve the traps. Talk about stink. When you get close to a skunk it doesnt even smell like one. More like really strong burnt popcorn,

 

[Ryan Willock]

Ben, if you shoot them through the lungs with a .22 CB then they usually don't spray

OK, I admit that I am beavergirl. I can see that you are just trying to smoke me out. I knew that it wouldn`t take long for you guys to figure it out. What gave me away, when I said that I like the 046 with a 28" bar for limbing? I should have said snedding, then you guys would have thought it was Walt. LOL. Russ
