He shoulda compared a 390xp to that saw....I'm a Faller Logger and used the German saws for years, till they out priced themselves and their quality went to crap....On the mountain all we care about is it is powerful, not too heavy, and will start and run Everytime you pull the rope. One day my magnum quit on me yet again and I had to hike all the way down to the landing to grab my back up but while there one of the other guys on the crew was just coming from another block of timber to cut a new landing for the road crew and he said hey grab my old 390 and put your bar and chain on it and run it.....see how you like it.....well that's all it took to convert me, I've carried nothing but Husqvarna to the timber ever since and one has never failed me period.....ever.....except for the usual broken started ropes, wore out sprockets, etc. But nothing ever engine or fuel related... Yeah we have our saws gone through and ported and turned into hot saws and different things for the type timber we're cutting but we did that with the Stihls too. I've run my current 390 with a 20" bar up to a 36" bar which is what's on it mostly and we run standard 3/8" 0.50 skip tooth full chisel chain and I wouldn't switch back based on what we've seen lately for nutthin. I wanna fall timber....not deal with a saw that keeps spending more time in the repair shop than being used.... This is why I use Husqvarna Saws.
Completely agree 390 is a saw that can be run all day and will do almost everything, I love mine to the point that now they no longer make them I have a spare fuel tank/ lower handle and spare pot and piston , so I can keep mine going. 660 and 395 for me are bulky and awkward, ok for rining up but not great felling saws in the way the 390 is. Mine sings with a 28" bar and pulls and pulls. I'm not even remotely tempted by the new 592 auto tune.
Jose emezola Best CZcams comparison Video I have ever watched fast to the point no music no intro right to the point clear description steady camera clear view no obstructions no side talk loud assertive clear voice. I have watched 1000's of videos just for my own personal knowledge when I need to yours was perfect thank you. Just thought I would give you a compliment. Thank you I am subscribed hope to be able to utilize and share more of your videos. It's time for My 11:45 hand washing talk to you later
i like stihl i have a few of them but for the big saws i go for husky ive used every big stihl n husky wins in that department but the stihls are better looking though
I own the 395xp and my buddy owns the 660. we both run 32" bars and still brand full skip chains. side by side, the way Stihl is set up gives a little more reach with the bar. Both are phenomenal saws and perform almost exactly the same! We've had some fun running them side by side hehe
This is how to do a comparison video imo. Great job I think the only thing you missed was weights. I use both at work on a regular basis 42" bars. I think it really just comes down to personal preference. Both great saws I use 660 when I'm climbing cuz it feels a Lil more compact but tend to grab the 395 when felling big trees from the ground.
I run all Husqvarna saws, including a 372xp and a 395xp. Never have had any issues with the top cover screws at all. When I open the top covers for cleaning they are always nice and snug just as they were when I reassembled during the previous cleaning. What have you had happen, they just loosen and fall out?
I have a 394 I bought new in 96 . I also have 066 flat top , 661c and 395 . Most tq pulling the long bar ? 394 then 066 . Smoothest to operate? Either husky. Just my .02 cents
La husqvarna verdad tiene más fuerza y siente mejor cuando está cortando yo tengo los dos y siempre agarra la 395 cuando puedo yo digo compra un 395 yo se que vas ah gustar lo
Dude! You have covered every problem i have with my 395. I love my 066s. was my first saw and all i used for 12years. now im running husqvana 390 28" ,395 34/42", 3120 52/64". Good saws..hate the 395s chain tensioner
I beg to differ,every Husqvarna that I work on comes in with the air filters plugged to the max,Stihls are much less dirty when they come in. The best air filter system I've ever seen is on the Echo saws,they never seem to need cleaning.
Yes it oils alot. Due to the fact most people are running longer bars than 24in. I think mine is set in the middle and it oils my 42in bar perfectly fine. That would explain yours slinging alot of oil, better alot then not enough. Thank you for watching!👍🏼
I appreciate you replying so quickly. I had 1 more question. When you are done running your 395xp and you let it sit will it leave a little bar oil on the ground? The reason I ask is because my stihl 441c does not.
Both saws are great, all the tree guys I work with and know prefer husky saws. Their climbers are trash though, definitely stihl for being up in the tree. But, definitely husky for the ground in my opinion.
395xp is heavier but has better engine, more zappy on the gas and more pullthrough and also -for me- better sound. like nearly all huskis from those times compared to the stihls back then. stihl were not very quick on gas in comparison and seem to be a bit lame. I prefer every 346, 372, 390...over the stihls back then. today with electric carburators i think they are pretty equal.
I lost countless screws from the starter cover on my 372xp which led to me pulling the stupid plastic starter cover off. That's a major design flaw. They are not made for industrial applications in my humble opinion.
I bought a ms660 and haven't had any problems with screws walking loose or starter covers breaking because they are made of plastic. I have ran both and honestly wouldn't buy another husky because of all the problems I had with mine and my brother had with his. I don't believe they are are built for industrial applications whereas the Stihl is.
Ot would seem that the comfortable layout of the Husquvarna compared to Stihls handle set up must be the difference in our hands taking that vibration or the screws taking the vibrations as far as the loose feeling from the springs on the Husky just my personal observations.
I own the big 3 of both brands (and plenty of smaller size) and handle a lot of other peoples saws and yes you do see a lot of screws missing from Husqvarna cylinder covers and especially recoil covers but really if this sort of maintenance is beyond you should you be running such a large and dangerous saw like a 395? A drop of Loctite 242 and problem solved
Honestly it is nothing to worry about they are extremely well made saws I'm sure with time running it you will find you like it and have confidence in it
I'll take the Stihl anyday. I have about 10 or 12 blown up Husqvarnas that I keep just for parts,Stihls are just much more durable in my opinion. For me personally I won't own a Husqvarna to use. I work on too darn many of them compared to Stihl.I just tell my customers that Husqvarna saws are designed to fail.Stihl saws are designed to last. Oh yeah,I am a multi-certified small engine repair technician as well as a certified small engine instructor.

Very informative video
The chain tensioners are a important feature! I need a side adjuster for my sawmill attachment. Using a old 2101 now.
I had to replace my a crank case on one of my 395s because the top cover screws thred were completely striped

Yea pretty typical of these saws
Fair comparison without showing speeds that most people only care about.
Cuáles son las especificaciones del Husqvarna 395xp ?
Check the dogs on the stihl. They don't angle down enough for cutting trees with big spur roots.
I have a 394 I bought new in 96 . I also have 066 flat top , 661c and 395 . Most tq pulling the long bar ? 394 then 066 . Smoothest to operate? Either husky. Just my .02 cents
hello help me with a tip how to run in a 661 ms and how many grams of oil per liter of gasoline
Just let it idle for a few minutes before giving it hard use and I run 40 to 1
Hq,281,288,390, sthil 660 i like it😍
Cuál de las dos es tu favorita and why. I have only owned 1 husky so just curious
La husqvarna verdad tiene más fuerza y siente mejor cuando está cortando yo tengo los dos y siempre agarra la 395 cuando puedo yo digo compra un 395 yo se que vas ah gustar lo

I like them both HUSQVARNA air filter system is far superior U next to never even have to clean it.............
I agree the pre cleaning is great from the air injection system. Also the filter has more surface area than the stihl. Thanks for watching John!
I beg to differ,every Husqvarna that I work on comes in with the air filters plugged to the max,Stihls are much less dirty when they come in. The best air filter system I've ever seen is on the Echo saws,they never seem to need cleaning.
Does your husky 395xp use a lot bar oil? Mine has a 24” bar and slings oil like crazy on the lowest setting.
Yes it oils alot. Due to the fact most people are running longer bars than 24in. I think mine is set in the middle and it oils my 42in bar perfectly fine. That would explain yours slinging alot of oil, better alot then not enough. Thank you for watching!👍🏼

Thank you very much for your input. It has helped me tremendously.
@@mainsickle7913 I dont know why they even put a 24 on the 395, should be a 32 minimum.
More oil is better than less
Stihl hd2 airfilter???
Maxflow airfilter?
Both saws are great, all the tree guys I work with and know prefer husky saws. Their climbers are trash though, definitely stihl for being up in the tree. But, definitely husky for the ground in my opinion.
I agree exactly
You hit it right on the head! Husky on the ground stihl in the air!
^ he's a tree worker ^
395xp is heavier but has better engine, more zappy on the gas and more pullthrough and also -for me- better sound.

Siempre he tenido ganas de una Husky grande nomás para calar la con una Stihl
Buen video,👍
Se ve como tu tienes que hacer un compra amigo
Y muchos gracias amigo!
I lost countless screws from the starter cover on my 372xp which led to me pulling the stupid plastic starter cover off. That's a major design flaw. They are not made for industrial applications in my humble opinion.
I agree to make it right u need to loctite it from the factory and then it's all set
I bought a ms660 and haven't had any problems with screws walking loose or starter covers breaking because they are made of plastic. I have ran both and honestly wouldn't buy another husky because of all the problems I had with mine and my brother had with his. I don't believe they are are built for industrial applications whereas the Stihl is.
Yeah,a lot of Husqvarna saws come into my shop missing screws,they must just vibrate so much that they loosen the screws and lose them.
Ot would seem that the comfortable layout of the Husquvarna compared to Stihls handle set up must be the difference in our hands taking that vibration or the screws taking the vibrations as far as the loose feeling from the springs on the Husky just my personal observations.

A drop of Loctite 242 and problem solved
Why is the 395xp airfilter made in Finland.
German cars nr.1 worldwide
Hi jose.i bought a new husky 395xp 2018 model. I was a bit dissapointed. Its made in sao Carlos BRAZIL.
Honestly it is nothing to worry about they are extremely well made saws I'm sure with time running it you will find you like it and have confidence in it
@@joseamezola4345 .hi jose thank you for your reply. I hope you are right.👍👍👍

Honestly after years and years of tree work the husqvarnas in my area rule they arent perfect but if it gets the job done that's all that matters
Haha my dads stihl l0st its screws!
why does everyone fail to mention the inertia chain brake on the stihl? pretty important feature to mention, also working on a husky is a real bitch
Stihl all the way.
They make a great saw thanks for watching
mann, u are soo clunzy and makes very irritant noises by hitting and popping everything, speak also soo annoyed!
If you don’t like him don’t watch
Go be negative some where else
Great video keep doing them
