There's a recent thread: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/1150159-post.html Have a gander through there.

 

Husqvarna

550XP Light and great on a 15" bar

560XP Light and great on 15" & 18" bars

357XP Not so light but great all the same

 

Stihl

MS261 Good all rounder

MS441 Better all rounder

 

Echo

CS-550

CS-620SX

CS-680

I did my CS30/31 a couple of months ago.

 

The college used Husqvarna. I used my Stihl 261 CM

 

I did have a go with one of theirs and was interested to note that they were a bit lighter. ( think they were 550's ? )

 

May have been a bit more revs in them too…. I didn't dislike them but , they had outboard clutches as opposed to my inboard on the Stihl…… ( gonna get some remarks now ….! )

and from a maintenance point of view I found the Stihl easier to work on……..

….. but then I'm a girl !! :-)
