Husqvarna - Swedish
Stihl - Germman

Husqvarna are the best chainsaws in my opinion, they are built so well as to be indestructable by humans.

Stihl are like typical german materialistic ideas, Mercedes like Stihl are notoriously fiddly and when they go wrong very expensive to fix.

Look at the push break on the MS660 It pushes forward over the exhaust muffler and does not work properly due to the exhaust being to close to the break. Causing the break to become soft.

Husqvarans 385xp - probably the finest chainsaw in existence
Stihl has no equivalent of this saw, ms46 too small ms660 too big.
385xp just right.

Husqvarna 272xp another great saw.
Husqvarna 254 - An arboricultural legend - Stihl took a hell of a beating with this saw.

Stihl MS200T - The ultimate treeclimbing saw, but does have a few problems, not perfect.
