What saw to buy?

[Dobson89]

Hi, fairly new to here , wanting to get a new saw. Something that can handle a 20" or 25" bar. Will mainly be used for some felling and logging up. I have looked at the ms391, any good? Can get for £550 at a dealer near me, not really wanting to spend much more than that. Any recommendations?

 

Cheers

Thanks for replies, think 660 may be out of price range, but will look into it. Yeah I know FR Jones have some good prices, though I thought they wouldn't ship a saw, unless its a 'known' customer

Definately go Husqvarna, all others are well sub-standard IMO.

HUSQVARNE is swedish for chave saw

oh dear, opened a can of worms here! Not really tried husqy much, the 346xp seemed nice, but don't like the look of some of the bigger ones.

Most importantly, what are your local dealers like? If they supply spares for stihl, work on stihl, and sell stihl predominantly, I'd go for Stihl. Likewise for Husky. Tbh, all the banter aside there is little difference between the brands. Personally I consider the Husky more user-friendly as far as maintenance goes.
