Here are my 2 babies. MS 390 for the big downfall, ripping, and bucking. This thing is a beast! Great saw. Right now has a 24" bar but I plan on buying a 18-20" bar to bring down the weight a bit.

Little Poulan for notching and light work. Weighs about 13 ounces and packs in nicely. Been using this for 3 years with no problems. Although I'm not sure how long my luck will last...

stihl vs husky? - like asking which is better kona or norco.
stihl seems to introduce technologies into the market years before husky knocks them off and incorporates them into their own line wheras husky has an excellent reputation for durability.
comparing specific saws between brands, they intentionally make each saw slightly different than the competition to prevent true comparisons - so pick your poison


There both made by Oregon just rebranded and silk sreened with there name on it

I have the Poulan Woodshark as well. Great little saw, intil the little U shaped clip that holds on the sprocket was lost. I used it for notching and stuff to, because of the small bar, and low kickback bar & chain. I cant find the replacement.

Okay...sigh...I have a problem.Eek

I got rid of the 372xp and managed to find a nice Stihl 066 that I can make into a project.

I now have three:
MS260 - 50cc, 16" bar
MS440 - 70cc, 24" bar
066 - 90cc, 28" bar

The 066 is torn apart waiting on parts, but I'm going to build it into an......"angry" saw. Cylinder, piston - meet carbide dremel bit. muahahahah

How can you ask for more power? Those things have enough balls as it is!

For fun? Being neither a production cutter or a racer, is there any other reason?:P

I will admit, it is pretty fun ripping apart a motor, and finding ways to get more power.

Yup. I'm hoping to have the patience to build it as-is, video, tear down widen intake & exhaust, video, tear down work on transfers, video, tear down, work on piston, video, lower the jug, video....however, I really doubt that'll happen.Confused

meh just buy a tree harvester u cant go wrong with a £250,000 machine Wink

ok but on a serious note what ever sure u end up using make sure u get a set of chain saw gloves helmet and chain trouser and boots specialy if your inexperienced with such tools, this gear aint cheap but compared to the injures u can so easily course its so totally worth it.

Wow! 9 pages of What chainsaw?
The most important thing is to get to know how to use your saw ofc. That + safety equipment: Chainsaw injuries quickly get really nasty...

Why does it matter how long the thread is? Don't like it? Don't read it.

Anyways, education on use of a saw and respect for said tool is definitely extremely important. An uneducated and inexperienced person could injure or kill themselves or others no matter what safety equipment he's wearing. One thing that often happens is that once someone dons safety gear, complacency sets in and that's when a serious incident can happen.

People (myself included) often overlook hearing protection. You can get away with not wearing ANYTHING else (chaps, lid, boots, gloves) and complete a job 100% safely, but when running a saw your ears are guaranteed to be exposed to damaging noise levels.
