is there that much difference between the ms341 and 260?

[AJarb]

Never had a prob with a stihl apart from the cast breakin on an old 088, and splittin a bar with a fellin wedge. oops. otherwise they start everytime. it just in my experence every husky ive used just doesn't feel as tight or as solid as a sthil and is no were near as reliable. what climbin saw do u use? bet its not a husky. dropped my 020 from 30feet. not a skratch. a husky would explode in to a million pieces. soz 2 rant just fed up with unreliabe tat.

 

 

Yeah fair enough go with what works for you. Love my huskys for general works but I do use sthil for climbing and yeah its a brilliant saw. Never had any problems with my huskys. Each to their own eh:001_smile:

Maybe you wanna be a bit more careful....never had any trouble with any of my Huskys, have a ms340 and 660 which have both had their troubles

All saws can give trouble. Husky have let their design quality slip slightly on their smaller saws in the past few years, but they are certainly not 'unreliable tat'

341 with a 15" bar would be nice. ive got an 18 on mine and its not great. has not let me down tho. im going to get one of those makita 7900 next.

Same old banter over same old issue. I currently run a 260, and since i've had it it has proven itself more reliable than an equivalent Husky. Its running a 15" bar with an 8sprocket. Got sick of reliability issues with the Husky saws, not as good as they once were. My 372xp is now an excellent saw, but it was in and out of the dealers under warranty for ages. Come on husky, get back on track with saws of the 242/254/262/288 brilliance!
