stihl, husky,sachsdolmar or jonsered which make
Pick one... they're all good. I'm partial to Dolmar and Stihl, but wouldn't pass on a Husky or Jred if the deal was good. :msp_smile:
With a Dolmar you would always have a pro saw... only the PS-34 and PS-45 are not.
The 510, 460 and 420 aren't really either, and lots of older ones....
...and they don't have anything close to a 59 or 60cc saw, that is competible.
Husky 346xp and 560xp - the 555 is a suitable back-up semi-pro! :msp_biggrin:
All solid saws with very good performance, built better than anything in Husky's consumer line-up. Spare me the drivel about the whole extra few ounces nonsense. :chatter:
Yes the 6400 is about 3cc more than other 60cc saws and weighs a whole pound more, yet many like them because they work exceptionally well and are very reliable.
Bull####! :evilgrin:
Which part?
I've got a 6400 that I use a LOT. Actually kinda hoping to wear it out so I can justify a 7900 top end, but it just keeps going. Wouldn't mind a better oiler, but it's durable.
Way too many choices with and between the 50 and 59cc saw class. HP wise is negligible also as it all depends upon the beast, one will not notice the difference in a 346ne versus a 359 its all too close, unless you weight the clothing and gear you will be wearing when you are cutting and if you had a morning crap or not. If you want a difference go at least 15cc, it will be something you can feel (3.3hp vs 3,7.......no real difference, 3.7hp to 5.4........22cal to 7.62 big change).
Pro, semi-pro, homeowner, landowner, they are all the same the biggest factor is the operator.
If you think you need 3 saws to do your job, two of your saws are going to collect alot of dust, as one will be in your hands 90% of the time.
All the hype over the 560/562,
Why not just get the one that's available in your area.
No need for a 50cc saw if you're going with a 60cc.
Lot's of folks will say a 60cc is just a 'tweener",
For a one saw plan how can ya beat them?
Power close to many 70cc saws weight close to many 50cc saws.
Only time will tell if these are a game changer.

A 60cc saw is a waste when you have a good 50cc saw. You ought to step up to a 70cc saw instead.

Couldn't agree more. Depending on what you are cutting, a 50CC and 70+ is the way to go. The 60cc saw typically only give another half a HP over a 50CC in stock form and weighs more. A lightly tweaked 50cc will typically run right with it. A 70cc will be able to deliver the torque a 50 couldn't dream about.
FWIW, I'm selling my Husky 359 just because of this.
