Husky 560xp or Stihl 341

[phill]

Evening Arbtalk

Were after 2 new saws to replace the disaster that is the ms261

The big question is do we go husky or stick with stihl

Just wondering witch one is more reliable,well balanced,easy to use use,cheapest to maintain and which one has the most grunt ?

Just one more question has got to be which one is the cheapest to mend when it goes tits up?

Thanks in advance

Phill

Which dealer is better near you?

Personally I would pick up the husky and preference fixing them than the stihl

But what's dealer is more important

I have a 560xp. Bloody blazing saw. Very high acceleration. A lot of grunt. And also I love how it is always ready to start (The off button always springs back to 'on' when stopped)!

Hi Bob

Our nearest dealer would be Dick Leigh or Fletcher Stewart

The 341 is a good saw, but needs to be downgraded to .325 chain to see real performance in my experience. I have a 9 rim sprocket on mine and it flies

have to say having used the 550xp and 56oxp they do go cracking saws. but then my baby sthil is very good husky did not have one to match the ms170. and have a 576xp that is a beast if its little brothers are as good which they are then husky.
