Husky, Stihl, or Even Dolmar

Well, Husky was ahead previously IMO with the 550, 555, and 562. Stihl then got one right with the 461. I also liked the 261, but that was the first saw in some time that Stihl had put out that impressed me. Again, IMO, the 441 and 362 were not class leading at all. The jury is still out on the 201 for me.

Contenders for the best new saw in 2013: MS661, 572XP, or the mystery 100cc Dolmar could all fight for it. Let's see what shows up!

based on the pictures in their calenders; stihl is first, havent seen husky's nor dolmars yet.

 

[Trx250r180]

be interesting to see if husky carrys the 500 line to the 572 or a 590 -595 type of a saw

Fuel injection?

If Stihl comes out with a fuel injected saw that you don't have to prime to death every time you start it, things could get interesting.

I don't see them replacing the 390 or 395 yet - but the 70cc class is a totally different story.

Then there is the T540 and the 543xp.....

First with what model? I don't know on any firm release dates from any of the brands?

 

[roberte]

this now an official thread

 

[CATDIESEL]

the ms661 should really be an impressive saw
