Stihl MS660 vs Husqvarna 390xp (vid)

[Tree Sling'r]

Thanks guys. Despite being nearly the same in cut times, the 390 is nearly 7cc's smaller, lighter. smoother and cheaper. I stated this in the OP, but is has since been forgotten.

Glad to see you back around John (Yukonsawman), I have always admired and respected your work as well as sense of humor.

 

[bowtechmadman]

I'm in agreement...love your vid's slinger!

Tree Sling'r you sure started an AS Classic. Did anyone notice how Fish convieniently stayed out of this one? Where's BB, I bet he's on the gay midget por#o site too!!
Anyway, I hope BB gets reinstated, cause we really haven't seen his sort since Tommy Fales Jr. or Big Dutchman.

You think about that next time you’re cutting your firewood BB.

I know you’re still reading.

I know I questioned this earlier (pardon me If I missed the reply) but are the 660's 92 cc and not 94.7? and if something was changed during the mod was it not also changed on the 390?

[Gypo Logger]

Yup!!

I was just fun'n with you Kevlar, I bet ole Tree Slinger got that saw punch out, which makes it nothing more than a "cheater saw."

Factory Specs. 660 = 91.6cc / 7.1hp / 16lbs without b/c
390 = 87.9cc / 6.5hp / 15.7lbs without b/c
thats 3.7cc difference and the 660 is a Huge 9oz heavier



There are too many possible variables in any shoot out !!!
Bring back BARKY lol.

 

[Gypo Logger]

im not backing one saw or another. im saying the test was no good with the size of bar, for the size of wood, and the TYPE of wood. anyone who has a prob with that can go #### themselves.

BB, it's amazing how dangerous one becomes with a little bit of information.
I think you're just living vicariously thru the Hort Wankers.
Not trying to kick you while you're down, but I think you need a bit more saw time. You said some pretty funny **** mang in retaliation!

I didn't realize till now how really big an 066 is. I've had a few ringer 066's myself. It would defineatly beat the snot out of a stock 2100 or even a 3120 for that matter. Stihl has done a fine job considering all the environmental constrants, but that's where we come in.

Best laugh i ever had on here. He went a bit far, but man, that was funny.

I agree, It was way too funny. BB 's the mang! I bet those fruit trees are pissin' their roots at the sight of BB's OH!44 sportin' a 40" blade and 404 chisel.

I really like the way your saws run Slinger, good work on both saws !!

 

[Hddnis]

Classic thread! I didn't like some of the language, but I've heard far worse in my time, guess I just didn't expect to see it here.

FWIW I thought BB made a valid, albeit meaningless, point about the size of wood. It was the kind of thing we all knew and didn't see a need to shout it from the rooftops. Then the little whippersnapper took beating a dead horse and rewrote the dictionary!

I'll just add my two cents about Slinger saws. I've seen 'em run and I've seen him run saws. Both are very good.

It may be awhile...He called somebody a cork plucker...or something like that:censored:

Been playin with a coupla saws lately, one being a 385.
To see a comparo between a couple of saws that people have seen as rivals, and ported I found very interesting.
You do not see a lot of new vids from the experienced modders these days.
Great stuff that encouraged some healthy discussion.

Enter BB.
Now BB probably felt he had a legit reason to question.
This was not the problem.
It was the way he went about it.
Jump in the middle of a bunch of enthusiasts and the experienced, swearing, slapping and kicking abuse and how do reckon they'd fair?

What BB should have done was start a new thread about his thoughts in a mature manner.
I would tend to think things would have a totally different turn.

I agree John, hopefully he is allowed to return and hopefully with a neater attitude.
Sitting down having a beer with this kid might show a pleasant side.
One thing I'll give him, he's like a pitbull. He don't let go!
He got what he deserved though.
Tough love.

Thanks TS, hope the outcome doesn't hinder any future vids.
