What to build..Husky or Stihl

[Mike05gto]

I am in the market to get something build for a fun race saw. I do work at a Husq dealer so I can get things at cost. I have been going back and forth on what I want to build. Thinking about buying a new 390xp and sending it out. If people recommend a stihl I am not branded just more convenient for me to purchase Husq.

What is everyone else's thoughts

Buy a husky, especially since you work with them

390 going to be a good saw to get built or should I look at something different.

Some guys can make em run pretty good, I'm not up on what's fast with a husky.

I did run an AWOL 2188 which is very close to a 390.

Impressive saw

For a general work/firewood fast saw i would do a 372 ,not too heavy to pack all day ,and cut fast when hopped up .

Chain is where the other half of the speed comes from once the engine is hopped up .

Hey Brian!

I don't think weight is an issue with this guy.
Not sure on his stats, but I'm pretty sure he's at least 3 of me.

Lookin for a good 4-5 cube builder that's sole intent is to clean house.

Yeth
Then we have a DC 880
But I don't think Dennis is building saws for anyone is he?
Hahahahahahahahahaha

But yes Brian, that's the type we be lookin for.
Now if you could only wrap it up sleeper style......mmmm.....that'd be great.

If the 880 aint enough a 250r bikesaw is the next step .

That looks pretty insane. Got to keep it sleeper though. Expansion pipe is a dead give away.
