066 vs ?

[Jscb1b]

7 years ago I sent my big saws down the road. I did not think I would need them when I moved. I had a ms660 and a 298. I want a new big saw. We are a husqvarna dealer where I work so I get dealer prices. Speed and torque wise, what is the husqvarna equivalent to a ms660?

3140

what size boat do you need a anchor for ?

Oh, no, here we go. Chevy vs Ford. 592 just watch dyno joes 592 stock run, you won’t need a 3120 unless milling.

Power, smooth, nice anti vibe and easy start, restart.

592. I seriously doubt you’ll be sorry.

There's a ported 592 in the classifieds currently.

A 390XP is reasonably similar to a MS660 performance wise, a 592XP will exceed that expectation and a 395XP is in a class all by itself. It would be difficult not to recommend a new 592XP for performance out of the box that you get, compared to $$$ spent to get it.

585xp, not for the performance standpoint, but rather the simplistic design that made the
066 truly shine

Get the 592xp for all the reasons duce mentioned. I ran my yesterday morning.

This! I’d have to get a hell of a deal on a new one to skimp on a nice used mmws.

Of course I’d go 661…

Thinking about a 395.

Hard to beat the long bar performance of the 395XP, other than packing it in and back out again that is.

Yep, packing a 395 will either make you or break you. Don't ask how I know

A 592 is quite a saw. I personally really like them! But I’ve heard some guys hating on them (maybe they were Stihl guys…) because they tend to 4-stroke in the cut like no tomorrow if you don’t update your operating strategies to match the present tech the 592 has u see it’s covers. I liked every 592 I have run. Power, balance, A-1 anti vibe, easy starting, and every other positive thing you may want. But that are a different saw that maybe not everyone just falls in love with. And I’m not gonna be threatened by anyone else’s opinion…

The 390 is more an old-school saw that doesn’t disappoint either. I have one I cut my wood with. Absolutely like it. No complaints. One tip with the 390 is they need the exhaust opened significantly and if you wish to realize potential tho. They do tend to be a bit sluggish out of the box but respond well to a few well picked upgrades.

Just my humble opinion…

And I should have said, a 390 can be made to keep up with a stock 592. It boils down, I think, to what ever saw feels right in your hands. And in that field, I have no desire to persuade you one way or another!
