Which Chainsaw

[edbangeruk]

Question about which chainsaw.

 

I purchased a Stihl MS661C a few weeks ago but it only lasted less than two hours before the carb flooded. It was sent back and the carb replaced that lasted about 2 minutes or less.

 

Now it's going to be replaced I going to change the model as I don't want this on going problem.

 

I thinking of either Stihl MS880 or the Husqvarna 3120XP I using it on an Alaskan Mill is one better than the other as anyone had any problems with either.

 

Thanks

I've used both, my preference is the Stihl. Im no miller, but I suspect the manual oiler could potentially come in useful with the husky for milling? The Stihl doesn't have this.

Got a 3120 recently to mill with. It seems a good heavy duty saw, still getting it run in before starting to mill with it.

 

Certainly plenty of oil on the bar in use

To replace the 661 like for like would be the Husqvarna 395 . But as you are going up in capacity I would go for the 3120 based purely on my limited experience in that we have had both and the big Stihl failed big time ( un economic repair ) and the 3120 is still going today . Niether got much use though ...not milling anyway .
