Reliability: Husky vs. Stihl

[chainsawaddict]

Wow, I saw this thread earlier, and it was only a couple posts. I went out to cut some wood (cut a cord) and came back to eat a late lunch. I guess Ill go cut another one while you guys get this deal sorted out.

:greenchainsaw:

Let me know how it works out

Not today. We're still snowed out of the woods. But we're trying...really we are.

In the meantime I can play. I'm sorry. I had to say that. Naaaahhhh...I'm not really sorry.

044 best

You do notice that Gypo said the 044 was the best saw Stihl ever made? Why is that?

He said best all around saw ever made period.

Depends

Which is better built in terms of reliability and longevity, Stihl or Orange.

Usually I get 2 years out of a husky, doing maybe on average 3 hours saw time per work day. I usually get 55 to 70 cc models, been using a lot of 357XP. One only lasted 6 months and burned out the piston ring due to an air leak. That pissed me off and is making me think of going Stihl. How do the Stihl rack up for durability compared to Orange?

It all depends on the situation, the saw, and a million other factors. Good and bad come in all colors...

eh?

I think all saws are made like sh*t now-a-days, but husky still makes a better saw.(less finicky parts)

2 years, you gota be kidding me??? If so I would look at what your doing wrong as opposed to it being a problem with the saw. You could make any saw die and early life, just depends on how you treat them.

I'd think caps and switches would be a good start.

You have used these new style caps and switches?
