660 v 395XP

[ad15]

Sooo,, which one?

 

or an alternative?

 

I've got some work coming up that needs me to have bigger than the 18" 362 that i've got.

 

i'm guessing the 395xp is the husky = to the 660?

 

discuss/ advice/ alternatives/ new models coming soon?

 

cheers

I have the 660 and love it, but equally I love the 395 and if there were a choice....... I honestly dunno Ad. Tough one to call.

660 or wait for a 661.

 

Honestly man this is a pointless thread because we all know 50% of the Tree World loves Husky and 50% loves Stihl so the answers to this thread will provide exactly the same result which doesn't answer anything.

i know it's a 50/50 thing tcd, BUT,, what the heck,,i can't go anywhere as the road is closed because some daft bint tried to take the bend at 100mph and is as we speak being cut from her wreck of a car..

 

so while i summon up the warmth to go split wood I'm shopping,,

 

 

andy, when is the 661 out?

[Andy Collins]

I dont think its a pointless thread at all, apart from the fact that I would have either in a flash, I cant really differentiate or choose between the two. Sorry TCD, dunno when the 661 is out. With either of these saws I dont think the manufacturer is important, both top quality.

How many times will this get asked???

I love the 395, but if you are climbing with it the one sided chain brake is a pain in the arse sometimes...Other than that not much in them - I did have initial oiling and chain tensioning probs with my 660 but that was 6 years ago

Stihl parts are much cheaper so i,d go with Stihl. Husqvarna parts are over priced. front handle for a ms361 £17 front handle for a 357 xp £53!!!!! buy stihls teach Husqvarna a lesson.
