I know the Stihl vs Husky debate is as contention as "what calibre is best"....
Have a husky 450 that I inherited (so don't blame me for buying the wrong one...) with 16" and 18" bars but find it a bit big for 80% of the firewood cutting I do. Usually cut 20m each year so it gets a fair bit of use. Am looking at something smaller and can't decide between the Husky 236e which would allow me to use my 16" bar but would be pushing the poor wee engine or going for a Stihl 170.
Online reviews are favouring the Stihl, one review for Husky said they took it back to the shop and the shop told them it was designed as a 100hr saw... Not what I'm after. Then for Stihl the chain gets a bad reputation for being weak...
Who has one or both of the above? And what's your thoughts on them? Or is there something else I should be looking at? (don't want to go electric)
