Palms are fibourous compared to real wood. Alot faster to cut through, but with that, the good majority of them are compressed.
I like using full chisel chain on palms to cut throught them as fast as possible and because they're heaps easier to cut then real wood the full chisel chain lasts just as long as what a semi chisel would in real wood.
Oh yeah, the palm also eats away anything metal in your saw so be sure to clean them out VERY frequently.

then again, how long until we see stihl 4mix chainsaws? |
I think Stihl may be superior in the torque, but not by "far". I've used a good range of Huskies and Stihls of both the same CC range. The only saws that the lack of tourque is noticable, is the 334xpt and the 338xpt. But I'm not a fulltime user of all these Husky saws.
If Stihl was superior, then why are there so many blokes out their making just as much money if not more from having a full arsenal of Huskies, like Ace Master? Surely if Stihl was superior by far they'd be packing Stihls?
I think in my personal opinion, that the X-TORQ may just actually put Husky out in front. I'm in a rift as to deciding which I wanna buy for future reference. I wanna hear from blokes that have actively used Husky saws and Stihl saws on a profession daily basis (Hey Ace, you guys ever use a Stihl?).
Seen the pole pruner 4 mixes by Stihl? The ht101 and the ht135 I think they are? They seem alright, but I didn't get to use them on a daily or professional basis.
