Stihl vs Husq

[Borders Training]

thats because of Torque

 

Torque is more important than power when it comes to running under load. . . power makes the engine pickup quick/get to speed quick but torque is the 'grunt' that keeps the chain cutting when under load

 

So we have sorted that point out, then why do people insist that the husqy is a better, faster saw because it runs faster?

brand loyalty trying to back up their loyality, although i would have thought sales figures would be a better comparison, i was speaking to a large independant dealer last year who reckons for every 20 stihls sold, he sells 1 husky . . .

 

running faster doesnt increase performance, my last bike was 900cc, ran at 9000rpm max, my mates bike was 1000cc, ran at 16000rpm max, but mine was quicker to 100 . . .

 

 

 

that modded husky vid is good

Its also to do with 4 port design over 2 port transfers.

But the Stihl MS361 is a 4 port and keeps up or cuts faster than the similar Huskys.

 

The saw in my vid is running an 8 pin sprocket so that ups the chainspeed but reduces the torque....But the improvement of porting means it can turn that chain faster.

 

Maybe the Makita is running a bigger sprocket to make use of the torque from the 4 stroke?

You love that 262 don't you.

 

I still like mine, and its stock.

Thanks!

 

The difference here is a 357XP is under £500 and a MS362 over £700!

I was going to use the bike example!

 

As you have changed the sprocket size, have you now changed the ppe requirement? and you have altered the saw from the manufacturers original spec?

Its the go to saw:biggrin:

 

Yep Husky went wrong when they didnt replace it with something equal!

Did i mention it had 200 psi compression lol

 

Also a lot of the Huskys had only 1 piston ring so less friction but the ring wears out quicker but then again you only have to buy 1.

Lets talk about bikes, so much more interesting than saws.

Who pays £700 for a MS362? some people should get a better dealer/shop around! Ours just cost £560!!!!! since all our other saws are stihl, we stick with them for spares
