has anyone been using both stihl 660 and husky either 390xp or395xp

They are all competent machines.

 

I have used both and would base my decision on dealer locality and the standard of service provided.

 

I'm husky, the nearest dealer is a long way away but my 2 local stihl dealers are a long way away from any good.

yea I know , apologies for the subject , but ive always been stihl in this size range

660 v 390 pretty close match to be fair.

Stick a 395 v 660 in anything over 25" the 395 will take the lead.

Once ported the 395 becomes a clearer winner against a ported 660.

I have 390 and 395 I agree with old " bandit " above . 395 all day long ....

I have a ported 390 and its awesome, a ported 395 would be a lot of fun.

Oh gawd please don't get me started on what ive got

 

Im building a 394/395 hybred at the mo using the heavier (more torque) crank and fly off a 394 but using a new quad ported new meteor cylinder which im waiting to turn up from the USA. Will get ported etc before it goes on the saw. 394 non epa carb etc.

Cant wait to put it up against a 660 when its done ....... :lol:
