Ditto. Husky just borrowed the orange colour so simple minded folk would get confused and accidentally buy there saws. By the time they would have relised the fuel caps need screw drivers to get them off its too late. :001_tt2::lol::lol:

i bought a ms261 as my first saw, running it on a 16" and doing a perfect job, grunts its way through some fair size timber!!

I don't think there's much between husky and stihl , i run a 261 stihl and love it , but i also have a husky 365 and it's superb too !!

I think that sadly, as with much in life, there is no perfect allrounder. If you were to arbitrarily say that a Husqvarna 560XP was just that, then it would be much too big for scrub clearance or work in young stands, as well as much too small for large hardwood felling and chainsaw milling.

 

My best advice would be try to decide what it is you think you want to do and buy the most appropriate saw. Also, don't go bigger than you need to - it will cost more to purchase and run and most of that extra power can be found in a smaller saw with excellent chain sharpening technique.
