390xp or ms 660

[tommer9]

I bought a 390xp as i had an 088 stihl and a ms361 stihl, so wanted something in between, and fell in love with the 390xp when i used one. If i hadnt got an 088 alraedy there would have been no contest, as until then i was a confirmed stihl man.........Try to have a go on each and see what you prefer.

martin, if you can wait untill around the apf time you can borrow both from me. imo 660 wins every time husky doesnt compare. 30inch bar is great, i can use it all day long as can the saw, 25 is amazing. and 18 is when you want real fun!

i'll give you a pm in the morning:thumbup:

 

p-s wanna buy a husky?? haha

If as you said earlier in the post it won't be massivley used why not buy 2nd hand? . Anyway as i was saying i paid £400 for a 088 (only 3 years old) 2nd hand with 2 36"bars 1 full chizel chain and 1 ripping chain. Fortunatly i knew all the history of it and pretty much how many times it had been used over 3 years. That way you've got a big saw that if need be you can put a 30" to a 3 1/2 ft bar on it, rather than buying a new saw when you get big trees. Just what i've learnt (hence why i own a 395 and a 088).

 

I own a 395xp with a 30" bar and she runs as good as any 066 ive used so i think either is good just personal preference.

395 or 390 all the way, i hate my 660

Gotta be a 660

 

Have an 066 that will not die and cuts just as good as it did 10 years ago.
