These could be the Best Chainsaws Ever Made

Comparison of what I think are the top 5 Husqvarna Chainsaws
3120xp, 395xp, 372xp, 365 special and 562xp

[@Данилпопов-н4ш]

*Coming up on having had this saw for a year....am a casual user and bought it to cut up sections for bowl blanks. Easy to start, **Bestfor.Garden** also recommend even after storage for a couple of months. Simple chain tension adjustment. Just cut up some 20" Osage Orange, including ripping bolts in half (at an angle). Like butter!*

[@TractorsandBeer]

Bought a 20 year old 365 and she runs better then my 2016 Xtorc saw at work!

[@alexmattyspac7605]

Really like my 390xp, the chain tensioner the clutch the power the weight. I'm a stihl fan but 70 cc and up husky. That said I love chainsaws. Love them. Nice video👍

[@outinthewood3578]

I like your style ! well done on making it very clear that you want a disscusion not a argument ! I have run a load of Stihl and Husqvarna and have over the last few years gone all Husqvarna for day to day work. I like the feel and egronomics. In no order I would say the for me ! classic saws are Stihl 038 ( all three of them ) 026, 056, 084,066,044, 461 and no one can say anything against the 090 and 090 G. Husqvarna 288,2101, 266, 346, 242, 254, 576, 372 ( 71cc and 75cc) 272 and judging how the new 572 is running for me it will be a future classic. I have owned and run all of the above and still own several of them.

[@JG54206]

I’m do not use a chainsaw for a living in any way, just a fire wood guy.... but I want a fleet like this. Currently running an Echo CS300 top handle, CS400, and a Stihl MS362CM. Love em all. The 362 only has 1 tank of fuel through it and I couldn’t be happier. My dad used to have a Husky, I believe it was a 55... his guys put unmixed gas in it and boom goes the dynamite. Also got an old Homelite XL12 auto and an old Echo 660EVL, but they’re outta commission.

[@DaveODrowsky]

Husqvarna have made a lot of great saws and I have to think that the 254 and 262xp deserve mention as legendary saws and the 346 is unbeatable for small and quick. I also run a couple 371xp's and the best mod to boost the power is adding an additional exhaust port. As for Stihl when I added a West Coast universal port it totally changed my opinion of the brand. As we age there is an inverse relationship with the cc's we want or need. I love the 394 and 066 but they are a bit big to drag around in our later years. Just wish I could get the swedish saws to be second pull starters rather than 7pulls.

[@P61guy61]

You may be right. But, with the utmost respect, my opinion is the McCulloch 10-10 is the best all around saw ever made. Pre emissions, tons of power, and easy to work on. I do have a Husqvarna 460 and I do like it. Much smoother and Not as loud as the Mac. Of course, Mac is gone and Husqvarna is going strong. Thank you for posting.

Hello there , I bought a husky 254 xp 30 years ago as a part time woodcutter and it does the lot .from Scotland. All the best for now .

[@festerallday]

I use the 365xp and my 2253 (same as a 350) everyday.

[@Rustsamurai1]

395xp is great.

[@fassay]

I like your take on the 365 special "thumpin" vs the 562xp "screamin" I have a 555 and it also screams but I prefer to describe it as "sings". It sings you have to trust it . it's AT mate- runs fast and lean!!!. Electronic and always on the knife edge of calamity. I add the best fuel and best oil and hope for the best. What more can I do?? I bury the bar and giver' hell. She's a siren and she got a mean streak

[@markrunyon5524]

That "61" was my favorite saw,cut alot of firewood with that one.Solid mounted handle.no anti vibration,suck it up.! Husky's in general are great saws.

[@maxxwalters2829]

390XP is what you need what a crazy animal. I Had 576 blew after 100 hours, the 200/300 series are kick ass pre X-Torq, to bad they changed the 372 in to X-Torq before they stop making them.

[@corybuchanan6544]

385xp love it 2000 model saw still going strong, just ordered a starter cover the other day. I agree with everything you said, I have a couple old xrs and your 100% right. Would love to more videos from this channel.cheers

[@jeffvw1994]

I also have the 385xp, it's got a 32" bar and is just used for an alaskan mill set up or dropping really big trees. Great saw.

[@ishure8849]

G'day FFE, we tried the Huskies 35 years ago in the Grey Box growing in Ironstone soil here in central Victoria the one thing that makes them more user friendly than the Stihls their anti vibe was their undoing the rubbers would flog out. I personally believe in the hardest woods on Earth the Stihl 066 Magnum is number one and Happy Coridini agreed with me he's no longer with us but with a saw and an axe he cut on average 1200 ton per year and delivered the firewood into Melbourne by himself for 60 years, he slept 3 hours a night.

[@kcasey1220]

I have a husqvarna practica 61 like the one on the back of the bench with the white cap. I love it!!!! 30 years old cuts like a new one. 20” bar

[@v26224]

I run both, at work we run them both. Husky has much better air cleaners, but the feel of the stihl handles is batter in my hands. Especially comparing their 70cc saws the top handle is bigger and easier to grip but the throttle interlock is smaller and a bit nicer in the hand. Big saws the 395 takes the bacon due to the air filter, and its slimmer profile. The 660 has a poor air filter, but I do like the side chain tensioner and internal clutch. The fact that stihls bigger saws take a different bar to everything else gives me the shits. My personal line up is a 034 stihl as my all round limping fire wood go to saw, 044 stihl for falling and bigger bucking and a good all around saw, and a husky 395 for big stuff. Soon to get myself a 3120 project for milling. It has been bob cat modified though🙄. And a few smaller camp saws. At work it is either the 200 or 201t, both great no matter what people say. Then a 261 stihl if we need a smaller saw(not often). The main saws are the 461 stihl, great balance but a typical stihl air filter. The 372 is also there but it gets grabbed less as it is a little worn out. The other 372 we had were nicked and replaced by the 461s. So the main reason we grab the 461s is that way they are all the same. We then have the 390 which is only new so I don't really have an opinion yet. The 395s and the 660. All are great for huge blocking and falling. And then the monster 3120 for huge cypress trees and big stumps.

Gorgeous table mate, I can’t work well with wood. I was never taught and now reading and figuring it out on my own. Keep up the beautiful work, subscribed to learn.

[@jt-wy8qc]

372xp, 365 special are the same cc saw and there about the same thing ,the old 365 are smaller cc, but im with you

[@jeffallan3555]

Actually the 365 special is 65 cc and the the newer 365 x torque are 71cc just like the 372. If I'm not mistaken.

[@allthingsmowing]

I just bought the Echo cs-590 Timber Wolf and that saw is an animal. Found it new for $150. Talked old man down to $100. I've couldn't hold it for long. Used it to cut up a big tree that fell. It's too heavy so before he listed it I got it. It's one of the baddest I have seen with a 24 inch bar. It WILL NOT bog down and destroys anything in its path. I am a husky fan though. Love the 460 rancher but I keep going to that echo to see what it can do. It's unstoppable lol

[@jeffvw1994]

Try a echo cs620p, amazing saw.

[@superduper6570]

[@adirondackguy9308]

My 372 is the go to and daily driver, fell anything and buck anything. Not too heavy you can’t work all day. 24 or 28 inch bar

[@sambo9068]

I cut firewood for 14 years and loved the 394 xp but stopped doing it for a living in 2002 I now have a 390xp and a 570 and I reckon the 390 is as good or better than the 394 mate bit lighter for an older wood guy

[@AH-hi7jg]

I don't UNDERSTAND how you can put the 372 xp over a 390 xp. The 390 xp is a great saw. The 365 special is 65cc and the 372xp i think is 70cc. I would put the 390xp over the 372xp.

[@maxxwalters2829]

390 is the best saw, what a good crazy animal.

[@michaelclark2840]

Husky are great saws. Wouldn't use anything else for Aussie hardwood. Had a 372xp then got a Logosol chainsaw mill. The 372 just didn't have the power so traded it for a 395xp with 36 inch bar and skip tooth TCT chain. Rips timber like nothing else. Have a small 357xp for small block work but clogged up with chips, overheated and seized. Swapped out head and piston but never really the same since. Time for another me thinks😁

[@AH-hi7jg]

I DON'T SEE THE 390 XP THERE. ONE OF THE BEST SAWS EVER MADE. I KNOW YOUR FAVOURITE IS THE 395 XP😅👍👍👍

[@maxxwalters2829]

I prefer the 390 over 395.

was a fan of the 365, but the 562 won me over with a 28 bar. older gen saws are so bulky after running the new gen. will always have a soft spot for the 365.

Yes please bring on the jointing and wood working videos👍

[@unclearam2055]

I'm a Stihl guy but if you want a good pro saw they force that m tronic stuff on you. I've been thinking about trying a Husqvarna 372Xp cause of the manual carb adjusters and I hear with some minor adjustments you can get crazy cutting speed out of them.

[@andywheeler9583]

346xp is a great little saw

[@briannewton6198]

365 special for large firewood operation that's what I run

[@larkinoo]

So what brand are talking about ? They look like they are Hooooskavarnas but I haven't a clue dude.

[@hillbilly4christ638]

Is red gum the hardest Aussie hardwood? I see a lot of that being milled. Must be a popular wood species.

[@v26224]

365 is just a 372 with a smaller bore and air filter and slightly smaller carb. Everything else is the same basically the same shell with slightly different guts.

[@johntsoukas8723]

[@andrewcalderwood2580]

[@itsjoesshow]

The 385 is a ripper of a saw, it's only the first bigger saw I've owned so far but definitely can't knock it. Im hoping to get a 394 or more likely 395 soon though, I've heard from alot of other people too that they're the way to go

nice video, what's your opinion of the 288xp

[@forestfloorenterprises2137]

Don't think I've ever used a 288xp, I used to run a 268 as my firewood saw. That was a pretty gutsy saw definitely. I still have the 268 dead in a box, I would luv to find another one a try to build it up again.

[@gunsandgear2689]

Have you ever run any of the larger stihl pro saws ?

[@forestfloorenterprises2137]

And to answer your question too.. I have never owned any big Stihl pro saws. I have tried a few, but I have never tried any that I like better than my Huskies. I would however be interested in getting something Stihl around 60 to 80cc just to have one and have a play. And see what all the fuss is about.. Ha Ha.

[@gunsandgear2689]

Forest Floor Enterprises I’ve got a 661 and love it. Powerhouse of a saw and not heavy for what it is. Only thing that lets them down over the huskies is the factory air filter set up is terrible.

The 576 is a horrible ripping saw the dog teeth roll along the wood and it cand spit thechips out fast enough and gets gunked up constantly. The air filter is almost impossible to clean out as well. Not a fan! The new 572 seems alright , i havent had much time behind it yet tho
