Anything after 2 ports is a noise maker LOL.

Yep. I don’t like a lot of noise but the oem triple port are nice.

I’m the opposite. I like the 064 and 066’s but I’m a Husky believer

I'm just not a huge fan of the new Huskies nightmare to work on darn near need a computer to fix them LOL. and a primer bubble on a saw?

 

[Adamski]

But a 288xp. Dribble and everyone must love a 372xp. My new 6100 has a primer and it’s a helluva saw!

Oops soory for the derail

It really comes down to is it going to be taken care of? Is it a logger/tree guy that cleans his saws, keeps a sharp chain and knows how to tune? If it’s a really abusive gorilla type I recommend just doing a muff mod (put screen back in if they are cutting on state property) so it runs a little cooler and make sure everything is working properly/serviced on the saw. Not worth porting something that will be destroyed in 3 months.

I'll be honest, they arent making any more 064's...if it's in particularly good shape...put it on a shelf and dont log with it. Find an ms660 and have that ported, toss a maxflow on it, and that is a duty worthy saw. One of the toughest saws ever made in my opinion, gutless stock tho.

I agree with @huskyboy

I like that a lot simpler design.

 

[sawtalk81]

to be honest they don't make too many decent "NEW" saws anymore, nothing but a pain to service and unreliable.

Chainsaws frighten me. They're just scary.

There's plenty of new saws out there that have proven reliable, I can't speak for any of them as all I have are 372s 365 346 2159 jonsered all runners, yes they are 20 years old but perform like they are supposed to. What I and many here are saying is that 064 is a great saw and getting harder to find (even parts) read around this forum and you'll see there are new saws that are available and still able to be worked on without a computer, just listen to these guys and they'll lead you in the right direction whether it's husqvarna or stihl or anything else.

In a way i was being kinda sarcastic. Yes the saws in your collection are excellent saws. i personally love the 064 even the 044 are getting harder to find that aren't scrap metal..
