064 385 505

[Cut4fun]

Ran these 3 today with 28" buried in ash. Didnt know the guys kid was videoing it till switching saws.

505 just starting 2nd tank after rebuild.

505 385 ran same chain LGX like new with rakers lowered tad more then off the reel.

064 off the reel new LGX.

52mm 40mm 064 - 54mm 37mm 385 - 54mm 36mm 505

Guys son shooting the video didnt come back out when we ran the 385 after b+c change over. He was to busy having fun with the playing boccerball against his sister.

So which one felt better/ faster ? Obviously the 505 isn’t broke in yet. What’s your favorite ?

064 seemed to have the best torque dawged in. 3mm more stroke I would say does that.
385 seemed to carry most rpm in the cut, except for when dawged in.
505 just little behind but enough for me and what I do. So 385 will still be sold when the local comes up with the $.

Been thinking about getting a 064 (like I need it) ! But what’s need have to do with it ?

I liked it. But then again I liked my old ported 066's too. If I did it now I would just leave them stock though.

chains were full comp too.

I’ve been looking for a old flat top 066 (again not needed) but at the right price ? I know what you mean about ported ! I did one now I want em all ported ?

This seams to be the verdict for most stihl vs Husqvarna comparisons ? Husky has more speed, stihl has more torque ? Combined I see equal? I just don’t get the chance to try many versions of other saws that are considered equal and or better!!

The chain looked a lot better on the 064 than the 505.
