Well, only the Huskys are really nimble and well handling saws, but of course not everyone cares....
Niko...we all know every new tech saw has it's own strong/weak points when splitting hairs. Husqvarna is not what everyone prefers, and for good reason my friend.Well, only the Huskys are really nimble and well handling saws, but of course not everyone cares....
It seems stihl offers a great line too but they are bulky and heavier and you'll pay 100$ more for a similar sized unit over other top contenders all our local stihl dealers around here are arrogant and won't budge on much for pricing
For me it is getting value for money and the job done, not which brand. We will all have horror stories whichever one we buy!
Update on 346.
That seems to be solved. Air coming in around the manifold causing it to constantly go out of wack. Sir Spud did the job. Now I hope I will get the full value out of the 346xp. Oh , and I changed the coil from blue to black, so lets see if that makes any difference.
Small update, I picked up a Dolmar 5000 used but in super condition. Plus the 346xp is running sweet. But I am enjoying the lightweight ms 192. After a scare with the flywheel and again help from Sir Spud its running sweet.
Any thoughts on the Dolmar5000? I was going to buy a new 5105, but the 5000 was a super deal.
I go all around the block with saws. At work and college Stihl 261 and at home well you can see. But you are right it just needs to get the work done. If you can´t sharpen your chain you are buggered anyway!!
I presume you have never operated a broken in 362 C-M, because if you did you would find it every bit as good as a 562. .... .
The Stihl is a heavier and bulkier saw, with an inboard clutch - there are no way it will handle as nicely as the 562xp, not to mention the lighter 560xp/2260.
The Husky saw are built with focus on handling, the current Stihls obviously aren't. The last Stihl saw that likely was is the MS361 - these days it seems like the engineers run the "show", without much inflence from any sawyers....
Not related but how do work out the age of a husky 346 from the serial nr??There are reasons that the 056 MagII handles better than the 066/660, despite it is heavier. It has an outboard clutch, and Stihl knew what they were doing back then - something important has been lost along the way to the current Stihl saws.
Oh did I mention that the 346 and the ms192 came out of a skip....

My cousin had a dolmar. 5100 it was a great saw for its size considering it's displacement . Not 290 level power but revved out fast and held power in the cut well ..It eventually had electrical issues creep up and required a coil and some other things .. Good homeowner model too
