stihl 661 vs husqvarna ????

[Anthonyhughes1]

Hey everyone 

 

I am trying to find out what the Husqvarna equivalent of the MS661 is I was told to look at 395xp but it doesn't seem to be made anymore.

 

I mostly want it for general use but I would like to start milling also.

395XP is a great saw ( especially if its  " Crocky " ported ). Its been replaced with the 592XP .

592. Amazing saw not sure what it would be like on the mill as I've not tried. If I could choose 1 it would be the 592. But and it's a big but the choice between a 395 and a 592 would be a lot harder. You can still get them from overseas if you look hard enough.

If milling, I would consider the bigger 120cc saws aswell. Milling is extremely tough on an engine and you can never have too much displacement
