I cut with a die hard Stihl Head this summer. He runs a 660 from Wood's Logging supply that was "hopped up". It ran good, and is a nice saw. He was giving me #### about my 390 (shaved, ported, transfers opened, unlimited coil, dual port, timing advanced) saying it was a boat anchor. I put a fresh chain on it one day and told him to stump a tree. All he could say was "SMOOOOTH". The rantings stopped. He he.
Guys are afraid to like the new line of Husky products. It cracks me up. There is absolutly no comparing the two. The Husky is a smooth, powerful saw that sounds like a real powersaw. ZWOOZWOOO is what Stihls sound like. Drive me nuts!
If you don't believe Jasha in terms of realworld testing and use, there is no other credible source on this site. Not that I'm some guru, but I fully back the 390 as the best West coast falling saw on the market, pound for pound bar none. Bonus feature would be the tensioner built in the side cover. The 390 bars up twice as fast as the 660 and is extremely well balanced.
I laugh at all the casual users on here that just bash, bash, bash. I don't bash Stihl saws, they make good products. I just tend to set things straight. Most guys on AS burn as much fuel in their saws during a year as what we do in a month or less.
:agree2: I here ya
Probably a day or 2. Majority have one or 2 saws to cut up a few trees a year. I bash in fun but some people take it seriously... You cant sit here and tell me Stihl or Husky suck. Just cause your 210 always starts up doesn't mean Husky suck's or other way around....
