What’s up guys first time posting, and I’m looking for a new saw. I’m in the hi desert of California and I do firewood in the cold season. Somewhere around 10-20 cords. I have the 455 rancher and it works good for what I do out here but I want to upgrade to a bigger saw for the bigger rounds. And maybe put a shorter bar on the 455 for the smaller stuff. I’m looking at the Stihl ms 391 or the husky 365. The 365 is more $ but for overall cc’s and power they are close. I will be putting the biggest bar I can on either saw a 25 on the stihl or a 28 on the husky. I guess the 460 rancher would be more comparable to the 391 but I want the bigger bar so 365 or 391?
There is a Stihl dealer in town but I wouldn’t say they are the greatest dealer. It is a hardware store and with a few hrs of looking on the internet I would probably know just as much or more about the products they sell. I work on my own stuff anyways so that don’t matter to me. I’ve had my husky and love the saw, I just know that stihl is a competitive brand to husky and was wondering your opinions on them.
Another question about the chains, if I do get the husky, what’s the difference between the .50 gauge, .58. Gauge, and the 3/8 solid. Thanks for the input.
