    Chainsaw recommendation (Stihl, Husqvarna)

    That was what I felt, particularly given the size of the saw. I mean if they could produce a 65cc chainsaw that had an output higher than that produced by their competitors 75cc chainsaws you'd think they'd really be pushing it. Also strange they don't publish any power outputs on their...

    I wish! No what I meant was that I thought the 372 cost $300 more than the 365 but it was actually $500 more. Wish I could get a 372 for $650. Over here a 365 is $1090 retail and a 372 $1590! They really screw us I think. Still, a decent price at $150 off and with the extras he...

    Well I've put in an order for a 365. Dropped into the local dealer this arve on my way home from work to have another look at the 365 and the 372. Thought the difference in price was $300 but turns out it's $500 so that ruled the 372 out of any consideration. They've also had a cash back...

    The 372 looks like a sweet unit. Only .1kg heavier than the 365 but an extra .5kw more powerful. Did some pricing and it's about $300 more here than the 365 so I don't think I can justify it.

    On balance I think I'm tending towards the 365. I liked the look and feel of it when demo'd, just was a little concerned that it wasn't in their pro lineup and that it might be too big. Think you guys have set my mind at rest on both points. Now just need to see what deal I can manage.

    Two chainsaws is definitely out of the question (much as I like to have a spare of everything (in-joke with my disgruntled wife :))). At this stage the trees I'll be cutting will be on the ground as the contractor will already have pushed them over. And just to throw another question in; on...

    What makes the 365 pro vs the 390 consumer? Husky list the 365 as semi-pro and stihl list the 390 as mid-range. Both put them in the category one down from pro. Unfortunately they don't explain why they're classified this way. I'm assuming better quality parts but again not clear.

    I'll be cutting up the wood for firewood each year. From past experience about 4 - 6 cubic metres (I think that would be 1 - 1.5 of your cords (we don't use this measure in Aust)). I've used a chainsaw in the past and am comfortable with it. Certainly no expert though. What is the...

    Chainsaw recommendation (Stihl, Husqvarna)

    Hi, I've read just about every message on this forum (and several others) on chainsaw choice. Think I'm more confused now than when I started so think I should just post my question. Just some background: My wife and I have a 2.5 acre block of forest style land that we're building on in...
