information required on chainsaws

[tree man john]

im looking to by a groundsaw and i narrowed it down to 2 saws but not shore which one to buy first one is an ms460 secound is husqvarna 372xp, just wanted some feedback from anyone who has used either on maintenace and general stuff on the saw

[slack ma girdle]

every body has there favorate, ask 100 people and you get 100 different answers. The only way you will get an answer is to use them yourself and decide. I like both but for different reasons and different uses.

Unhelpfully i have passed the buck back to you.

Stihl!!!!

372xp all day for me but thats only because ive used both for years and i prefer the Huskys, Try and have a go with the saws before you buy one, Or just buy the Husky coz its the best

[davecorbin86]

ive mainly used husky 357s or stihl ms260 , mainly felling trees and would say the husky was better (especially with bore cuts) the stihl ms 260 didnt seem to have as much torque

[Robert_S]

Ive just put a piston in a 272xp but ive had a ms460 for as long and never had any problems with it or any stihl. id go with the ms460.

 

Dont listen to mozza hes mostly drunk nowadays

What spares does your local supplier keep most of on the shelf ?

If both then that's fine, if not it's worth thinking about.

[combined tree services]

most importantly what are you buying the saw for doing ? ie , logging, felling , forestry ??

Why:confused1:

 

If you asked, Hardwood?? or Softwood??, I could see the sense, but I don't see how logging and felling, aren't forestry??
