I think I said all this:001_rolleyes:

 

You did Steve . Just wanted to agree with you

There have been several different versions of the Husky 365, but the current one is the 365 x-torq, that is basically the same saw as the 2166 (other way around really) - both 71cc.

The older ones are 65cc (not strato), and translates into the 2165, in Jonsered version. Those are a bit lighter, but has less power.

 

Personally, I by far prefer the Husky handlebar angle, but it is most important on saws that are used for limbing - not so much on those that mostly are used for felling or bucking.

An asset with the 365XT and the 2166 is that the engine easily are converted to 372xpXT/2172 configuration, for more power.

Not Really....

 

Onze revolution moves yer chain 7 links over, however long the chain is, chainspeed therefore does not change. The chain will go round more often as its shorter, but not any faster.

 

Apologies, I stand corrected & yes you & Spud are right.

 

Amazing the effect of friction a longer bar can have though

Ok have had a look at the ECHO saws the other day especially cs 620sx, they seem expensive compared to the competition , list just less than €1000 with a 20 inch. They look very cheap and "plasticy" ,but seem to have got great reviews on here .

So husky 365 or the Echo 620.

No doubt 365, the Echo tends to be "hyped up" a lot by some people, just because Echo finally came up with a somewhat decent saw (it really is a Shindaiwa, but the brands were merged a while ago).

 

If the 365 is the current 71cc X-torq, there is a substantial power difference, but the 60cc Echo is a little lighter - if you step down to 60cc, the 560xp is a much better option than that Echo though, more power and less weigh + a lot more.

I do indeed have one to sell, as I will be shifting brands. Not that there is anything wrong with Echo, quite the opposite, its brilliant.

 

But we are only a small dealer and do not have, or want, a direct account with Echo. This means we buy from a distributor, but of course we don't get such good terms as for instance R&T. So we find some main dealers advertising end user prices less than we can buy for.

 

As we like to make some money on our sales we just cannot compete with likes of the dealer mentioned, so this last machine in stock will be price matched to the price mentioned, but will have to be collected from our shop.

 

We are seriously considering selling the new Solo product instead. As it is part of ALKO we can buy at top terms as we are already a direct account.
