Hello,

 

If i was to buy a new chainsaw, which of the 2 would you suggest, Husqvarna 440 mark ii  or  Stihl ms212 ?

 

Both have nice and low anti vibe specs.

 

And Stihl is £50 cheaper.

 

Felling, clearing. Trees 15-30cm, often hardwood.

I guess it does sometimes come down to price, but bear in mind weather the local dealer is Stihl or Husqvarna for service back up, also check if the Stihl has those god awful filler caps, if so  you will hate them after they have poured fuel or chain oil down you legs, just saying.

If price was the same, which one would you recommend ?

 

Stihl parts are more available in general. Husqvarna parts can be found too.

I am a little bias so would choose the Husqvarna, that’s not to say it’s better than the Stihl just my personal preference, just do not buy either mail order or you may regret it should you have an issue with it.
