Advice On Buying A New Saw, Husky Or Stihl?

[s.gall]

Would the 395 take a larger bar than a 28"?

Too much plastic on the 562 for me.

Wouldnt have looked at the 362 if my 361 hadnt been pinched. Yet to find a more perfect saw. 2 mates have them still, and every time i use one I cant help but feeling a bit sad about my loss!!

I also ended up with an australian oil pump on mine, and there was a thread a few weeks back about higher output pumps on the 660, but I cant find it now.

 

The bigger output pump only really applies if you intend running bigger bars. I run a 36" on mine, and also mill with it so got the upgrade. The saw should be fine standard with say 25" or 30" most of the time.

 

This is not a negative for the Stihl, as Husky dont do a 36" bar for the 395. Its just IMO Stihl are pushing the saw by listing the 3 foot bar being available on the 660. Husky max on the 395 is 28" listed.

 

would cannon do a 36" with husky fitting:confused1:

I think Oregon do, and Carlton but Husky only list 28". That saw can sure handle more but perhaps the warranty wont?

both husky and stihl are great saws....but you can take the ms650 out of the equation unless you're on a budget

 

Had my ms650 for 3years now fantastic saw! No regrets.
