I've kinda leaned towards the 046/460/461 for years now... more grunt than the 440, less weight then the 660 and a slightly slimmer profile... the 660's are a little on the chubby side...

To be totally honest the biggest problem I have with huskys is the throttle trigger and handle makes my wrist hurt...(more broken bones...) that and the outboard clutch on some of em... WTF...

I never liked the choke n switch on a husky n heard husky guys say the same bout stihl. it what ya get used to. the early 044 was awesome for its size, they change everything for the worse.

I'd rather have an 044 than a 372, but I'd rather have a 390 than a 660. If I was working with em that is

I get the compairson on the first 2, but the 2nd, an 039/390 isn't even the same class with a 660.

The 288 isn't THAT bad...

I'm thinking of getting the Stihl started handle. Maybe the d ring one. I'm not sure if I'll need that or not. The 395 runs pretty good. It just seems a good bit bigger than the 288. I'll have to get this one running and use them both side by side and then see.

Shouldn't need the D handle. Slowly pull it JUST passed TDC, reset the rope, focus, and then pull like it owes you money. An 1100CD/2100CD/2101XP is worse. So is a non-DSP 103cc or 123cc Mac...

The 288 is noticeably lighter than a 394/395.

 

[bustedup]

just a thought lol ..............ifn any of husks patients need physical therapy then ........disston pile of logs and problem solved on all counts lol .................they get fit husk gets paid twice and he gets his trees cut lol


also it keep him outta trouble lol

And here's Randy with the same saw (my Super 250) earlier in the day.

The saw on the far left of the first pic looks like my very first saw. I got it used from a neighbor who was a livestock dealer that I worked in the woods for. I was 13 .
