Hi there, may be in the market for a new 85-95cc saw, would be wanting to runs a 36" bar on this. Looking to buy new not second hand. To possibly replace a 064 stihl

 

YES i have tried the search engine... but it doesn't pick up on saw models etc.....

 

When buying a saw of this size, should i possibly look at heated handles? not used heated handles before but only a little extra to have them...

 

I'm usually a stihl man, and have used a 660 with a 36" bar etc.... not used a husky of this size....

 

Cheers Chris

Having run an 064 and an 066, both run very hard for milling on a 36" bar, you can definitely feel the difference. The 066 was noticeably more powerful. I can't say how that would equate to ringing up for example, but I would imagine after a day of it you would notice the advantage.

 

I can't comment on the husky I'm afraid.

066 would trash the lot of them but given your choices I'd go for the 395. The new 660 seems underpowered and cheap to me. Heated handles are good if you can get them on the model you go for, helps with long term effects of vibration

How often do you notice your hands being cold or numb/lose of nerve feeling?

 

Heated really helps in those situations.
