The one and only question !! Be prepared for mixed views, I've just put in for a 560 over a 550 like alot of the guys prefer

I love my 261. Perfect weight and enough power to run a 18 (but not quickly).

I presume that is a quick quip. But if a serious enquiry - there's only really a difference, if one compares two different classed saws. Or tries to compare two saws, that are either in the same power bracket or same engine capacity but are built/designed for different rolls in forestry/owner usage, e.g. trying to compare a saw designed for all day limbing, to one that's main purpose, is the occasional fell and a bit of pruning.

Stihl: more torque, slower speed

Husky: more speed, less torque

our dealer is good at fixing machines not that i need that much with husky's and as husky are what he sells that what i use, and our nearest stihl dealer cant fix a thing to save there life i picked up a husky 245r strimmer out of his scrap metal bin and all it needs is £50 of parts and it has not done much work as it was still very tidy and to by the same new now is about £600 quid and so that is why i have husky over stihl but we use the stihl dealer for nuts and bolts etc as there so close for the farm

Thats a hard one to pin down . It very much depends on what you all roundness is ! Out of my saws I would say my 560 , maybe my 372 . ..........

What he said. Won't go wrong with 16inch bar.

 

Agree! Up a tree on the floor ,firewood, felling, limbing the lot
