Which bigger stihl saw ??

[Stu]

Husky 372, 390 or 395 imo havnt used many stihls but husky are just as reliable as stihl with alot more grunt, maybe you should have ago with thesse saws first before you buy you might like them

third that but add in the 576xp

Yep no problems. Ive never run anything but a 25

 

second that

 

thats more of a reason to ditch stihl, espesh with the 261....

 

crap

 

Nothing wrong with the 261 mate ,

absolutly rinses the 346 xp, all day long, a mate of mine had a 346 same time as i got my 261 he wished he went for the 261 now, ,

 

quite agree; 346xp seems rough to me; 261 much sweeter

[jnoon]

i own and use all 3 if i wanted to run a 20inch bar 441 nice alround saw dont really thing the 441 has the gut for a 25inch bar

460 great saw loads of power i run mine on a 20inch bar but i will handel a 25inch nice to like matty said the anty vibs ent great but if ur out for a saw that will do pritty much everything then a 460 good power to weight for felling and ringing up

 

if ur thinking more about 25inch and the 30inch in the back of ur mine 660 is the way forward mine always wheres the 25inch bar loads of power and cuts really quick

if u like using ur 261 then spend the money and get a 660 if u ever want a 36inch bar it will have that 2

and then if u want somthing in the middle at a later date to fill the gap husq 560 great saw im a stihl man and thinking about buying one

hope this help u out a bit

 

 

 

Thanks Burrell,

thats helped me out, get the idea i should save up for a 660 that way i can pull a bigger bar & chain if i need, its not going to be used much, however getting a bit hacked of with the 16" bar on the 261 ,

thanks for your help mate!!!!:thumbup:

true!!,

261 sound sooo much sweeter, just feels well balanced and has bags of grunt,

in comparrison 346 has a massive chain brake handle, a horrible choke lever which feels like its going to break and a gammy fuel primer ( because they drink so much )

will keep my 261 thanks!!
