What chainsaw to buy

[Trystan]

I’m thinking about buying a new chainsaw, at the moment I have a STIHL MS362, but she’s getting a bit tired now, so any advice?

Want size ?

[Rough Hewn]

What size trees and wood do you want to cut?

[Stubby]

Usage ? ........Forestry , firewood , home owner  , around the farm  etc etc

Answering these questions just shortens the fun of recommending anything between a McCulloch 335 to a MS880!

Never really liked the MS362 much, 560 XP is a bit nicer.

Husqvarna 372xp awesome saw does everything

Husqy's are for people who like the thought of using a chainsaw, stihl's are for people who actually use a chainsaw [emoji1360].

 

 

Aaand let the abuse commence........

Were you happy with the MS362?

I run both.
I have noticed that people who don't like Huskys are usually shite at reading simple set-up instructions, use the manual to light a fire with and are generally piss-poor at anything resembling a maintenance regime.

Or maybe they're just unlucky a lot.
