I was all set to buy a Husky 395 this spring when I stumbled across one of my Stihl 056 supers. I had forgotten that it had been pretty much rebuilt from crank to cylinder. What should be done with two that are almost identical as one has a 32'' bar and the other a 28''. So a couple of weeks latter and some spring tune ups they got put to the test. The most important thing for me is chain speed as they are slower then my Huskies. In the dry larger logs they perform much better in that they are a little more gentle on the chains. But they are noticeably more heavy. For me this is a good thing as they do not get used for limb work. It is more safe for me to throw around a 056 in that they can not be tossed around so easily so my planning is a little more precise. The newer saws do the limb work better. As it turns out they are very economical to operate. Parts can be found cheap and easy for them. They get 4 stars plus. Thanks
