Buying my first saw and want peoples opinion.

[Tree Man Tom]

Dont like either saw. Get a ms361.

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

personaly i would go for an o36 stihl, great little ground saw, huskies are for clan concious foresters!

[not for sale sorry]

i would buy this only £16.50

 

- Stihl chain saw

[felixthelogchopper]

Id get 357xp

Without meaning to hi-jack the thread, but I'm considering the same choice myself. As a chainsaw novice, would a bigger saw (say an ms361) be a bit of a handful without the experience?

Brought for my Ex's son. He's obsessed with bob the builder and wanted a chainsaw as soon as he saw it

MS260 all the way its fast powerfull and the best saw I have ever owned .

There is metion of the MS361 a few times above, this has now been replaced with the MS362. Stihl's are out of all the old MS361.

[MattyF]

I dont understand why they replaced the 361 the suposidly greatest 60cc saw they ever made (the only thing i liked about it was it sounded like a husky!)

 

346 is an awsome saws top of its class the ms260 used and broken a few but is an old dog that should of been replaced years befor the 361 but unfortunietly is not the the case.....

[jonathan hall]

there should be a cash penalty for starting a 'husky v stihl' thread on here.

i'd go for 036.

dearest dealer is good advice,

might want to consider stihl if your thinking of buying more tools in future, there maybe a stud or bolt thats interchangeable and thats the difference of being able to field repair to get a job finished.
