im sure there have been similar threads done before but here goes -

 

im looking to replace my old husky 288XP , it has been a great saw that is still used on a daily basis but its starting to show signs that its loosing power . so do i get a stihl ms660 or maybe something slightly smaller or do i go for a husky that is similar in size ?? my main requirment is that it needs to be climber friendly ! as the 880 with 36 inch bar on it is a tad to heavy for taking down a main stem whilst on spikes , i have had a stihl ms361 for the last couple years and it has been an amazing saw both on the ground and in the tree but i cant help wnting to give a husky a go . so what do you guys suggest????:confused1:

The new husqy 390xp is meant to be the nuts mate, lighter than the 395/066 and plenty of grunt, thats what i'd replace a 288 with.....
