    Have been a Husky fan since I can remember. Bought a Husky 445e II in 2020 and absolutely love it for general homeowner use. IMHO its very light and has a great powerband.

    I've always been with husky but really looking hard at the wood boss. Grew up with dad using a homelite 210. I still have it. A mean little chainsaw.

    I have both Stihl MS 251 and Husqvarna 445 but the Stihl is much more practical! And as a light chainsaw it is very powerful!

    Does the cold and warm weather shutter make a difference

    • @carlsmowerandsaw
      @carlsmowerandsaw  2 месяца назад

      Yes. But be careful to only use the cold weather shutter when using below 35°

    Both are good saws and good Performance. But isnt the Stihl 261 more like a Husqvarna 550? Think they are more comparable with power Output etc.

    • @carlsmowerandsaw
      @carlsmowerandsaw  3 месяца назад +2

      Yes. 261 and 550 are both the pro saws with roughly 4 hp

    Try an Echo, lighter, cheaper, and when ported run better than those two after ported

    The flip is great if you use ethanol free gas Ethanol gas makes that cap to swell l like both saws buy one of each 😊

      @carlsmowerandsaw  3 месяца назад

      Ethanol does like to mess with the o-rings for sure

    I think if your bar gets pinched in a tree, the Husky head may not be able to be removed where as the Stihl head can easily be removed to prevent damage to the head. Correct me if I am wrong.

      @carlsmowerandsaw  3 месяца назад

      You are absolutely correct. Inboard vs Outboard clutch

    If you hate a flip gas cap, you have issues.

      When they get dirty they'll ruin your day. The husqvarna ones are great because they still have threads.

    Or you could buy an echo 590 for the same price Karma and it would be 4.1 horsepower Karma and come with a 5-year warranty!

    • @carlsmowerandsaw
      @carlsmowerandsaw  2 месяца назад

      That is an option

      My 590 is a tad faster for way more motor echo is weak on the saw side bud bad walker has a video of three fully built saws the echo at 73cc Stihl at 72 Husqvarna at 71cc Stihl was faster an Husqvarna but echo will always start for you lol
