CORRECTION: The Stihl is actually 91.6cc rather than 94.7. That is beside the point for me though.

I have been a contract faller for 8 years always run Husky, this year started a job for IPL as company faller they supplied Stihl's and I don't find much of a difference I usually run 390 and love em but never again from C&l, but the 660 can run that 390 for all it's worth. I think the 390 can produce just as well as the 660 but in the long run the Stihl will run longer wide open.

@ronaldwmartinson

Does that say more about the saws, or the individuals that own them?

i find stihls run leaner the huskqys. partially because huskys have Xtorq

[ronaldwmartinson]

Stihl will out last a Husky long run! Huskies rev and run higher thus a little better performance, but it takes its toll on dependability and longevity. You never hear a Husky guy bash a stihl but there are plenty of stihl guys that will bash husqvarna. I think all considered you win with both. I like Stihl because they made the 090 and that is the mother of all beasts. RON
