I am getting opinions for an argument with a guy i work with. Says he had 044's some years ago, and the guy cutting timber for him said he wanted something that would cut better, so he told him to go pick it out. He came back with 268xp's. Said they cut circles around the 044.
In this argument. I believe the 044, but never ran a 268, so I'm taking a best guess base on what I know about both saws.
You must be a Stihl man. I hate to tell you that in their own classes Huskies will generally be faster than Stihls.
Does that make Huskies a better saw? No. Does it mean they each have their own weaknesses and strengths? Yes.
The 044s were old, and the 268s were new?
Maybe the old saws had bad chains because he doesn't know how to sharpen?
I don't think that is true 100% of the time. I would put my 038 against a 262 at any time. I think the 038 would win...only by a hair though. And i run both frequently. I even think the 034 wouldn't be far off. I run one of those fairly frequently too.
And the 372xp is faster then the 044, the 395xp is faster then the 066. Your point being?
If speed is the standard by which you judge a saw's worth than you are truely missing out.
My 044 is slower than my 372xp, but my 044 is as good if not better saw than my 372xp. The 044 has better balance, better handling in the wood, cool looks and a sound all it's own. But it will never be as fast than my 372xp. Great saws don't have be the fastest to be great. IMO.
Kind of like the Harley rider said to the rice rocket pilot: "But mine has soul."

Faster at what? I just love these agrguements...
Depends on too many factors for anybody to tell me what stiock saw is faster than another stock saw...
...and don't start quoting worthless facts that are printed on paper... Who gives a flyin' rip if a saw is 1/2 a second faster...
