Advice needed please.

[samarb]

I'm after 2 new saws and am seriously considering moving over to Husky. I currently use a 261and think its fantastic but after 6 months it starts letting me down (now on my 3rd in 18 months) and now need some saws with a little more power to run a 18" bar. I was recommended 362 by dealer but am thinking of 560xp. Can anyone offer me their opinion on saw options and reason why (not to fussed on costing). Just want some good saws that last are light(ish) and have enough power to run 18" bar.

 

Thanks all.

For an 18" bar Husky 560 or the Dolmar equivalent . Loads of opinions on here if you put in a search ....

560 is an amazing saw heaps of power and very reliable I have mine a year now and no trouble !

Done some searching on here and come up with some ideas 550xp seems to be well liked but is it enough for what I need. Certainly enough to compare with 261 but does it compare with 362.

for a new saw money wise i says husky 365 more than capable to run 18inch bar about 1kg heavier than this stihl ms261 on same weight i would say husky 560xpg

Got to shop picked up 560 but realised I'm a Stihl man so maybe not ready to make switch just yet. Thanks for advise though, Sam

So, you'll get a 560 next week when you realise you've just bought a slightly bigger 261?
