Stihl vs Husqvarna

[Rentachimp]

I prefer McCulloch because they are black like my heart.

 

350 & 357xp Husky and 200t (or Toot as I like to call it, I just decided),260, 341, 361, 441, 660, & 880 Stihls all are stonking saws, I find. I think Stihl are killing Husky for UK sales, though.

 

I like the look of husky the most, though. Or Makita

I got off to a poor start with huskys at college, could never start the buggers from cold without flooding them. Still dont know why, cos the instructor didn't bother to correct me, just told me to stick to stihls, and i have ever since!

Used a big husky (3120) recently to chog down a spanish chestnut stem, and was quite happy with it, especially ease of starting aloft!

Stihl all the way! Don't get me started

Nooooooo!!! Not another Stihl vs. Husky thread!

 

What he said. I voted Stihl just chap Ed's hide. I treat every saw individually some models are good some are bad. I currently run all Stihl just for convenience.

[Kev Stephenson]

Another vote for Stihl purely due to the fact the local dealer is Stihl.

 

Only ever used 1 husky, not sure on the model but it was small, old and fit only for the bin

Only got 2 problems with what you say, firstly they are not as good and secondly they come in a crappy orange colour!

Horse for courses just tools in the box, it all to do with what you are doing, oh and how well you understand power rating bar chain combo etc. No point floging a shire horse round when a pit pony will do just fine. Ps will never sell my 254xp....
