MS661 vs 390XP

[Termite]

All the time. Never had a problem with it on any saw. I have VP but at $16 a gallon it's used sparingly.

I get 100LL from the airport for about $4.25. I like it because it does not go bad. Also, I think my 390 can use the octane.

Your doing good at 4.25 for AV. I buy it at my stihl dealer for roughly 7 a gallon.
He buys it at the airport and totes it in 55 gal drums to the shop.

390 hands down.

Brad, a ported 372 slower than a 390 with a 20-25" bar?

That would be close.

It depends on if the muffler is triple ported, and if the square files is sharpened at 40 degrees!

Seems like all this technicality takes the fun out of running a saw.

It makes it more fun for some of us

That's what separates you guys that tinker and cut firewood to the guys that production cut and run what's preferred and proven in our hands.

There's probably a lot more than that

I'm brand loyal to stihl but open minded to husky. Fact of the matter is that if our local husky dealer had a shop that was worth walking into and dealing with the staff I'd go there. I said it before and I'll say it again. Dealer support is what separates these to brands to me as a logger.

Yes, and this is the same reason Dolmar is such a joke.

So, what saws do you like, and do you run them all stock??? I would think dealer support is non existent on most ported saws.
