There was a nice stihl 5200 on ebay recently, apparently they are good saws

The husqvarnas more fun handles very well but very temperamental, the av springs rattle loose, the stihl just goes on and on and on and on. (560 and 361/362)

 

AV rattles loose? What huskys you used? AV is better on a husky! And stihl owners just go on and on and on and on!

Has nothing to do with if the av is better or not, The av mounts on the handle on both 560's have rattled/shaken loose, both 560's are temperamental with starting, both 560's are awesome saws when running. The stihls are 100%reliable, not as fun as the huskys but guaranteed to start and run every day- IME

 

Let me guess, your a husky person

Yup, trained on stihls, first arb co used stihl, as did next, golf course uses stihl, had a go with a 346, got given a 385, fell in love with the speed and aggression of a husky! Admittedly out of my 3 top handles only the 200t remains, the 335 blew up, but the 338 was nicked off me, along with the beloved 346 :'(

More people are switching to husky, stihl have unfortunately lost out with the new series of saws, the only one I liked was the 200t and they scrapped that the 150 was fun to play with, but IMO impractical as a pro saw
