Better saw ? Stihl or Husqvarna ?

[Wood Doctor]

Some Husky models are better than Stihls but some Stihl models are better than Husky models. The question asked by OP is thus virtually impossible to answer.

They both lose to Dolmar

If it cuts, does the job it's a good saw.

If I have to choose, current gen it's husky. Older gen saws it's stihl.

For milling it's stihl if you leave a saw stock and husky if you mod them.

Either way I would take anyone over nothing.

Stihls are built better than Camaros.




Anyway none of the above.

According to this vid stihl must be.

Husqvarna, because every cylinder is a Unicorn!

How about the 066 with the 394 cylinder, where does that fall?

A few weeks back I walked in my shop and caught my 066 with my 394 bent over the bench one leg up just a humping away. I saved the offspring from that little Swedish harlot as she tried to toss it in the back alley dumpster.
I need to name it....

How about a 394 with a 394 cylinder. Seems it would run well. Lol

Kinda falls into the same category as dropping a Chevy mill into a Ford

It seems you need to build up a 394 petty good just to match the 066 hybrid with a stock 394 cylinder. I have a ported 394 done by a highly reputable shop and it can't cut with the hybrid. It's like hopped up 394 chain and cutting speed with the torque of a damn good ported 2100 all together in a saw not much larger than an 046.

Had to agree. Lol

Wow that is tough. Small saws and top handled stihl all the way. 50 and 60cc saws well that I think is in husqvarna favor. 70-90cc idk and the 661 would be an awesome saw to own. But I got a 395xp to build into my big saw.

Talking about atc's...this may not be Honda. But back in the day a shop in Roseburg built what they called the "Green Machine". It was a 1984 Ducati atv with the frame stretched just enough to stuff a pair of KX500 motors in it. It was THE most impressive two stroke I've ever seen in person with the exception of a banshee 350 twin that Duncan motors built back in the late 80's.

I take a Husky to cut trees and a Stihl when I go fishing.
