Stihl, Husqvarna / Chevrolet, Ford?

I remember families that were brand loyal for decades, damitalltohell, now they buy Toyota, Hondas, Hyundais and Kias?????????????????



One fact of life is,

When you are number one there is only one direction to go eh?

 

[stmonnat]

Sure stihl claims there number one whatever im guessing you probobly have a mathews bow to both spend a ton in advertising brainwashing everybody that there the best when the truth of the matter is there is alot of great stuff out thrre this day and age

Stihl claim is they are number on. The reason why I run Stihl is they are reliable, durable, and withstand the test of time. Ive seen echos and poulans blowup. Ive held husky knock offs, they are too boxy and don't fit right in my hands. The power and weight ratio feels just right in a Stihl. That's why I run Stihls.

I dunno, I have owned and run both brands, and a lot of other brands as well. I am partial to Olympyks myself, but the coils kept going out on them. I sold my Huskies and a few Stihls off because they were just too much theft bait. There are also 10:1 Stihl to Husky dealers around here. I know how to tear down almost all the Stihl saws, they run good, they all start the same way, they all have the same handle and lever systems. I also run the snot out of them and they go and go. Of my Huskies, I liked the 576 the most, but it is not well loved. Its similar to my 441 in running smooth and people not liking them.

"Boxy" please tell me how this looks or feels "boxy"

You guys know that husky's the best aye oh and huskstihl, try a stihl and we'll wait for your return to the grass is greener side. Once you run husky you can't switch to a stihl. I actually think it's impossible, in my eyes anyways.

I know i might get flamed for this but don't get me wrong cause the 346 is a great saw but i think it is a bit overrated here on AS. I recently aquired a 357 and the thing is not that much bigger or heavier then a 346 but has a good amount more power. Maybe it's just me. I'm used to a bigger saw so the 357 just feels better. IMO the 550 is a much nicer saw then the 346. Lighter and handles really nice. I'm really dig'n the autotune as well.

Im talking cc wise and dont even get me going on the 372

I like the Husqvarna easy to work on parts are easy to find . An they out run about everything . An the ergonomics are really nice .

 

[cobey]

Stihl for working......Husky for racing. :msp_wink:

The rest for the heck of it.

I have about 60 saws now JJ.

I never ran a 346xp, a few saws do get hyped up on AS, by all means im sure it is still a heck of a saw. I just bought a brand new 545 (de-tuned 550xp) about 2 weeks ago and have 7 tanks through it and I love it. Right about 5 tanks I noticed it was starting to wake up/break in. It starts easy hot/cold and I find it to be natural to hold. Love the AutoTune.

Everybody knows ain't a one of them worth a **** if you use any mix other than Gary Goo?

 

[orange crush]

husky the best even though I love efcos really underrated and the one echo I own (CS8000) is as well built as any thing out there sthil is over rated, over priced,and over engineered but there decent enough not hating just not a fan husky is at the very front of the pack in almost every aspect actually a fan of any thing 2t

have to agree with you not a lot more weight but the 357xp is quite a bit better
