To buy a husky 562xpg or stihl 400 ?

Anyone used both saws? Any opinions that will help make this decision ! The stihl is about £200 more

How long is a piece of string ?  What wood is he felling ?  Husky will run an 18" the Stihl probably a 20 " ? I dunno coz not tried the Stihl but peeps that have rate it highly .

Wants to be a good all rounder for arb work rather than forestry , odd bit of climbing mainly ground saw

I opted for the Husqvarna 562xp over the stihl equivalent, I like the shape and handling better

The hotty grips?  Or do you like damp gloves 😉 K

Sorry for some reason I thought it was for forestry .  If you have to dangle it from your harness I would go for the lightest . If you are calling for a big saw it will be neither .

Both good saws ... 400 has the edge for me though.

Better anti vibes on the rear handle , more torque.
