Makita one has been good.

Husqrvarna ours must be a thousand years old! And it’s still going even with the loudest exhaust know to man!

Have a stihl,cut miles

Stihl

 

[Richy12]

Stihl TS range, buy right or buy twice!

Husqvarna have 'oil guard' which means if you dont use exactly their oil it wont start.

Makita petrol saw I have no experience of

Have a husqvarna K760 but I think the 770 is 14inch disc

Make sure what ever has water feed and use quality discs

You can buy husky without oil guard.

Husky will pee all over it’s rivals. Loads of grunt. Stihl and makita you can stop easily in work.....the husky is a different beast

Looks can be deceiving

thanks for the replys i am leanining towards the husky because have always got on well with their saws, but stihl do seem more popular

Building trade tend to use Stihl , I think they are lighter machines , the makita has always been a heavy beast and for vertical work ,you are pleased to put it down ,my old 6410 is a hefty lump and the Husky k760 I bought 5 years ago is between the two ,,only problem with Huskies is the stop switch , it gets clogged with dust and loses its contacts to switch the engine of .

Stihl tend to be on deals which make them slightly cheaper than husky which is more than likely why they are more common. I work with various different lads with all makes of saws and run husky myself. I know hot or cold I can grab my saw and a couple of pulls it'll be running. Stihl, makita I've seen lads pull and pull at times and had to walk away for a rest and come back to it! I think vibration is a lot lower on the husky as well. If you're gonna be cutting panels you are aware a 14" saw only cuts 125mm deep, for 6" panels you'd need a 16" saw but there a big step up in price.

got two stihl's here one must be 30 years old never given any bother light and easy to use especially in the vertical if doing a lot of block work keep an eye on the air filters

Ive seen a stihl , im sure 18" that is a beast
I always thought 14" was the biggest.
My two observations
What do u see 90% of people with , and hire shops, stihl .
Around here at least far more stihl dealers, for parts than husky.

Id of thought if either machine is in shite all day and not serviced its gonna give trouble.
Is a thieving,, .... gonna grab a stihl b4 a husky , no idea.

You pays ur money, takes ur choice eh.
Possibly visit a dealer that has both side by side ???
Good luck
