The 4 Best Pro-Duty Chainsaws, Tested

 

Good top 4 and not a lot in it....agree with there analysis...and the stihl 261 coming out on top..husky 2nd...hope Richie Rich is looking at this...hard luck fella.

Heard the cranks where rubbish in the 261 ?? , have they sorted that now ? I find the husky's feel nicer to use than the stihl .. At this size of saw ..

Wonder if they'll still like the 261 when the clutch bearings collapse next week.

Haha I thought exactly the same

[hamdogg]

Yeah they are a bit crap in the 261! Are these new 261s any better!? Because I love my old 260

No they are not...my old 260 is bulletproof....thing is if in a tuff test the 261!came out on top and most people don't rate them...how crap are the other 3....not rocket science really.

As in all these saw threads, regardless of the site, it is always the relatively few unlucky owners who have had problems with a particular saw that shout the loudest .Folk who have had the same saw with no problems tend not to bother posting in general. I tend to ignore the most vociferous complainers as they inevitably skew the true picture of a saws competence .

To be fair the bearing problem on the 261 is widespread and widely repoted.
