stihl or husky ??

[skyhuck]

i have been thinking about buying a 441 but have heard conflicting reports on them

 

My dealer reckons there not the best, better with a 460

[josharb87]

like you i got the 361 for snedding, 046, 660 and 880

 

660 all the way, perfect between the 361 and 880, light enough to use in the tree for a good while too, 30inch bar on mine top saw

 

id have a new 460 over 441 too

One of my prefered saws when climbing is the husqi 372 witha 24inch bar. Its light enough to not cause too much discomfort and has got plenty of grunt!....Before anyone ses anything its the only husqi we have, all the rest are stihls! haha

Dave the 660 is nice to use in the tree for big stuff, Husky 372xp is good for the medium, 361 is a good all rounder, don't really know about other big saws, though big Huskys are definately tempting. Funny that its the only Husky I have too!

replaced my 288 with a 395 ,im happy!

The 66 is the KING of saws!!

 

Its a joy to use, I have a 25" bar on mine, its 10 years old and still cuts great!!

 

Same here, a 66 with a 25" bar if a top tool

Over the years my favourite saw in the Bushmans range has gone from 064 to 288xp to 660.So for me it is not so much the make but the model that counts.

660 its a great saw, it'll do most big trees i prefer to reach for a 66 over an 880 most of the time using the 880 is a macho thing a 66 with big bar will tackle most stuff in the U.K.

Who was it on here that crown lifted some Holm Oaks with an 880 that made me chuckle
