Why does poop float?
Stihl owners make better Prime Rib.

Wrong! The more low end torque the saw has the better you can push it through with a dull chain!Well I'm going out to cut some wood later and grabbing which ever saw has the most gas in it. Torque means nothing with a dull chain.
Well then what about the longevity of Stihl V Husky ?When comparing the 550 XP to the 261 C-M, it does seem that Stihl went for the Torque and Husky went for the RPM. However, the 362 C-M has peak Hp at 10,000 RPM while the 562 XP has peak Hp at 9,600. Most people who have run both saws say they cut about the same.
It is like the debate between the 044/440 and 372. If you have either saw you have a great saw.
I really like my Stihls, they get the job done for me, and they get it done well. That said, I think if I had the equivalent Husky's I would be just as happy.
If you have a good running saw with a sharp chain that is suited for the task at hand, that is all that matters.
Yea and I can also cut and split all my firewood with a handsaw and an ax. No sense being a moron if you can't prove it.Wrong! The more low end torque the saw has the better you can push it through with a dull chain!
Myth...Well then what about the longevity of Stihl V Husky ?
I can prove the previous statement and common sense would tell you its right anyway !Yea and I can also cut and split all my firewood with a handsaw and an ax. No sense being a moron if you can't prove it.

My 288 is what comes to mind .Likely the most common reason for wanting a lot of low end torque......
After 25 years of cutting, I have decided "it's the Indian, not the arrow"..
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, my dealer always wonders what kind of operator messes up the easiest saws.......That's why my last 2 new saw purchases were a Dolmar and a Husqvarna...

As always, it depends on where in the powerband you want max torque. A lot of torque at low rpm is useless, as the cutting speed will be really slow anyway, at low rpm.
More torque at high rpm (above max power rpm) doesn't show up in the specs, but it often is what is most important regarding performance.
That was a given at the start. LolThis is going nowhere
