Stihl v Husky

Hey guys,

 

Need a bigger saw, looking around 24" bar. Any recommendations?

That was my initial thoughts. Trying to see if someone can convince me otherwise

Its all down to personal preference. You won't go wrong with either to be honest. I personally prefer the 460 as the balance with a 25" bar on it is just right for me when working aloft. Also seems to have more lower end grunt.

I was heading for a husky 372, but got a Stihl 461 instead, 25"bar. very very glad i did too! Its a cracking saw, Stihl definatly got this one right

The only two Stihl saws that I prefer over the Husqy equivalents are the 201t and the 460.

My own saws are all huskys, the firm I currently work for only run stihl. Must admit, the 461 isn't a bad saw, the 576xp just feels a bit more ergonomic for me (but I am biased towards the dark side.

I've had my 576xp around 3 years now with no faults. Well balenced, powerful, maintenance is easy with a hole on the spindle for quick roller bearing greasing, on off switch is the right way around. Pulls a 24inch with ease through anything and I normally have an extra file of the rakers.

Do hope this helps
