i work as a forestry and natural resources technician and we use chainsaws daily.
Husqvarna 550xp(g) are the best 50cc allround chainsaw.
if you want something smaller, go for a stihl ms 241 it's a 42cc.
husqvarna usually has less kW but more RPM which is good for debranching trees, felling small-medium trees and larger softwood trees (spruce, pine).
stihl generally have more kW/torque and less rpm which is great when working in medium-large hardwood trees (for example beech, cheery, oak and walnut)
>>332029most insurance companies doesn't cover any damage caused by arborist saws when used on the ground, and top-handled saws doesn't have the same safety requirements as a normal chainsaw which may lead to awkward situations.
>>332769>>332768neither brand is better than the other, both brands have great saws, husqvarna have the best saws in some sizes (50cc for example) where stihl has the best saw in other sizes (90cc & top handled saws).
the whole brand-fanboying is absolutely ridicolous.
