Changing from stihl to husky!

[Jonny Burch]

I'm thinking of changing my 660 and 880 and replacing them with a husky 560 and 395. Don't use the 880 much and wondered what others thoughts are on this?

Do you have any smaller ground saws? I'd be tempted to go with a 372xp instead of the 560, more grunt but lighter than 395.

Bizarrely I have all four of those saws.

 

The 560 is not comparable to the 660, keep your stihls and buy the huskys.

 

Thing is, when you really need the 880 it'll come through. Keep em all.

395 and 560 are my go too saws but why not just get a 560 and keep the stihls , then all bases are covered.

I don't use the 880 enough and used a mates 395 and personally I thought it was amazing! I've a 362 which is ok but I prefer my husky 242! I've also got a little 345 husky which is brill!

If the 88 or 3120 is paid for and in good nick, stick em in a corner (empty of fuel or with aspen) they'll never wear out and will pay for itself in the next 20 or so years.

Burrell was telling me that his ported 372Xp was significantly out-cutting a mates standard 395XP albeit on a longer bar - think it was 24" against a 28". Always interesting to get feedback like this.

 

On a much longer bar in bigger cuts, the result would be different I am sure!
