You=no funThe new 592xp. The big old 395xp is in a different class IMHO.
I would definitely not say the 592xp is better than the 661 in every way. I've had both for three weeks and, at this point, I feel they're at least equal. I try and not let the new saw hype get to me.
Lol I call it as I see it. The 592 engine is strong! But some other things I'm undecided on. I definitely don't like the carb setup, it's a cluster F. Not all that hard to take apart, but they packed 10lbs of **** in a 5lb bag.You=no fun[emoji23]
I can personally vouch for that , one smooth operator!!592xp. All reports are that it is a superior saw in every way.
Maybe- but a 660 is just a slightly detuned, rebadged 066 with flippy caps, so developed in the late 1980's- the 390 is a 21st century saw that was always going to have better air filtration and anti vibration.IMHO a 390xp walks all over a MS660 and yes Ive got both.
Im not brand loyal to any of them, its just always been that pound for pound a husky would outcut a stihl. That all changed with the introduction of the 500i. Most of my family disowned me 3 weeks ago when I bought one lol. Ive got a brand new 390xp that Im seriously considering selling and replacing it with another 500i.Maybe- but a 660 is just a slightly detuned, rebadged 066 with flippy caps, so developed in the late 1980's- the 390 is a 21st century saw that was always going to have better air filtration and anti vibration.
Would be a sensible thing to do in my opinion.Im not brand loyal to any of them, its just always been that pound for pound a husky would outcut a stihl.

I can't disagree with this. I'll add the 462 into the mix as well, weights about the same as a 562, but more power than a 572.Im not brand loyal to any of them, its just always been that pound for pound a husky would outcut a stihl.

Don't tell me that! I will end up replacing all my stable with creamsicle saws! Ive cut probably 2 mil ft with a 562, little fellar will scream but he aint got no torque!I can't disagree with this. I'll add the 462 into the mix as well, weights about the same as a 562, but more power than a 572.
Ummm yeah, screw that! The older I get the more weight becomes an issue! LOL do I know you? I remember thinking WTF? when my Dad kept getting smaller and smaller saws to TRY to cut timber with. Im beginning to understand now.You need a powerful lightweight saw, or a really powerful saw ?
There is allways the 881, at back breaking weight that is sure going to benefit a 50+ old forest worker..
As you likely know, with long bars, some 462's cases were cracking around the studs. The 2021 saws were strengthened in that area, along with other improvements.Im wandering how strong the ms 462 in the bar stud area
