How do Huskys compare to Stihl?

[emr]

My question here is not one of which saw to buy, but how does the numbering system work on Husky? Do the numbers relate to engine cc's or horse power or what? I am very familar with Stihl since that is all we use and all I have ever used, but I was wondering which saws of Husky compare to Stihls. For example, MS200 = 338XPT, MS290 = ?

Again, this is not a question of which saw is better, just which saws are similar in size, horse power and so on.

Generally the last two digits designate the approximate displacement of the saw in mm. Example; the 266 is 66 cubic mm. and the 280 is 80 cubic mm. However there are exceptions...example; the 3120 is 120 cubic mm.

044 = 70.6

The formula does not compute.

Oh yeah... there is no comparison to a Stihl.

Just couldn't help it, eh?:hmm3grin2orange:

When it comes to the parts numbering though stihl has the rest tied up, spanked and put away.

Nope...

Am I that predictable???

You are right!...it does not compute..

True, except that the 266 (and 268) is 67cc, and the 280 76.5.....

...approximate it is, but much more informative than Stihls system........:biggrinbounce2:

Saw Troll, you have listed that you use a Husky 353, so does that saw have about 53mm? Is that what you folks are saying?

That's cause most Stihl users aren't concerend with all that stuff... We just go cut wood.:hmm3grin2orange:

As I said, aproximately - it is 51.7cc......:yoyo: :yoyo:


..and the 372 is 70.7cc, the 272 was 72.2cc, the 346 is 45cc, the latest 350 EPA 51.7cc, the 362 62.4cc - etc......

Many saws by all manufacturers have the approximate cc in the number. Not all saws but generally, yeah.

Never heard of the 455 Rancher huh?:greenchainsaw:

You know, it gets kinda old. All the 290 series bashing. They are not a 361, but they still cut wood and it all burns the same. I bet if you cut a hickory with a 310 it doesn't into cottonwood. Same as my 441 can't cut soft maple and it turn into oak.

Thanks btw...

That is true......

 

[SawTroll]

... For example, MS200 = 338XPT, ....

Wrong, for starters;

MS200 = 339xp

MS200T = 338xpt

...but not really, as the Huskys have larger engines.......:bang:

I agree............from I have read the 290 is Stihl's best selling saw!!!

POS may be a POS...............if someone wants to by it all members here would sell 'em no matter how they felt about the saw!!!
