New 70cc models from stihl and Husky?

[Deets066]

I do have friend who used to be a Husky dealer... He was indicating something about a 596, maybe this fall? That would be curious to see... If you could provide 395 oiling and torque, with 390 chain speed and throttle response, in a 390 sized package, that would be a 661 killer...

Isn't the 395 kinda already a 661 killer?

Not really Brian. At least I hope not my friend. We are trying to build a very member friendly site here.

Ben is welcome here, and his knowledge is appreciated. What he cannot do is insult other members here without some sort of recourse. We really do not have a lot of rules here. You can post links to any other sites, spell out their names without being censored, even post links to other aftermarket parts suppliers even though this site is owned by one of those AM companies. We ask that as members here that you please refrain from talking about religion or politics, and that you treat you fellow members respectfully.

Not like ArboristSite in many ways......

I know that in Canada a 90cc saw was being tested. Said it was stronger than a 661 and 390.

Was it a husqvarna ?

Probably a Husky, yes. I'll love to see a new Makita/dolmar in this size class, but I really doubt they will be able to beat a 661.

Just to be clear. That was not a shot at AS. There are a bunch of members on that site that I really like, and have loads of respect for. I was just hoping to note a few differences in how the sites are ran.

I would just like them to release these new saws already

Brand loyalty varies by area. Very few pros use Stihl's in this area, but other areas are the opposite. I don't think yiur argument holds water.

I agree. Heck me and memeber john Laslab r the only ones in our area that run pro huskies. Everybody else runs Stihl. Most have never heard of Dolmar

 

[skippy]

I wish they would release the new 70 series husky!

You and me both brother!

They supposedly had crank and bearing issues .

 

[rocco490]

^That would make sense. I new there must be some reason to be taking this long.......

 

[huskihl]

550, 562, 576, 441mtronic, and 661 were all released before the bugs were worked out, hence the *s-wordstorm we hear about on here every day. Let them get them right so they can get problems fixed before they're released.

Patience, grasshoppers

Patience.... and in the meantime, enjoy your 372s and 461s

Brian,

I can assure you that Dave was making a joke.

As for Ben(bwalker), go read through his "contributions" to this thread, and you'll see that his 30 day timeout wasn't solely based on his "F off, prick" post.
