Depends on what you like, both have good and better. The wood they cut burns the same.

Can't believe you opened this can of worms

 

[Simondo]

Have some of each....like some of each.

Chevy or Ferd??? Winchester or Remington??? Smith and Wesson or Ruger??? Big Block Chevy with blower or Cummins 5.9???

[redoakneck]

359, 550. All good

I like and have both but would generalize and say Stihl is made better, Husky handles better. I feel the same about Mac vs Homelite. Homelite seems made better and Mac handles better.

I work on more huskys just because their is more in service because of box stores and the pro huskys are a bit cheaper than stihl but i like stihl and have several but prefer echo anymore.

Neither. Poulan rules

I like Husky/Jonsered better, but I enjoy running my 034s. I could be happy cutting with either brand.

Husqvarna, cuz their flippy caps dont suck and everybody knows swedish babes are the hottest.

Timberwolf 590 is number one. It is written on AS many times.

I am a Husqvarna dealer and I know I am going to catch some FLAC for this, personally I prefer working on/servicing Husqvarnas and their parts are much more reasonable, they are faster out of the box, and handle better. All that being said Stihls are more rugged and will tolerate neglect better, period. Owning a Husqvarna is kind of like owning a Ferrari, they are fast and they are fun but you are going to have to do maintenance on them regularly to keep them running at their best. A Stihl is kind of like a Camaro with a SBC under the hood, not quite as fast and not quite as agile but they run forever with little to no maintenance.

She looks more like a Dolmar, actually. Sleek, everything's still tight, and performs above average for her size

Well put

Soooo....Husky performs like a Ferrari but costs like a Camaro. Stihl performs like a Camaro and costs like a Ferrari.

Soooo....Husky performs like a Ferrari but costs like a Camero. Stihl performs like a Camero and costs like a Ferrari.

usually operator error

For those with a good dealer either are fine, those without a good dealer the best choice is the company that is the easiest to work with. One that you can buy parts over the internet, one that openly offers information like manuals and parts list, one you can buy tools for over the internet, one you can buy saws over the internet, one that doesn't sick a team of corporate lawyers after a fella that bad talks their product over the internet. One that lists a MSRP on their web page. The one that does not treat everything they do like some kind of sicko secret society. You know that one.
Edit: The one that does not force competitors racing "other" branded saws to remove the labels from the power head and run their brand of bar on the saw, at an event they help sponsor. After the race was over you didn't have to ask why, with the beating they took, the general public knew no different though.
