I've owned both, my Stihl lasted 2 years of everyday cutting. Which was pretty good I thought.. so probably over 1000 cords of wood !! My Husqvarna was still running when I got out of that game after 10 years or 6-7000 cords!!!!
Hi, Thanks for the video. I bought a Husqvarna 80cc, 380CD saw back in 1976. I liked it so much that I became a dealer for eight and a half years. The 380CD is still running strong after nearly fifty years. The only thing I had to do for it is change the fuel hose fifteen years ago. I just wonder if that Stihl will be running fifty years from now. Over the years I've added six more Huskies to my collection. Never a problem with any of them. No problems reported form any of my customers either. Several of them have passed, but their Husqvarna saws are still running strong. You can take away most of what I own, but touch my Husky and you've crossed the line! LOL Shalom/gw
my husqvarna starts with no more than 3 pulls every time from -20 to +95 degrees.i have watched tree service guys with stihl saw pull there asses off trying to get there saws to start .i'v had my husqvarna for 12 years. it still runs and looks like new
My 20” Stihl 391 melts through logs th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 but I find myself grabbing this Oregon more because it’s quit and theirs no engine maintenance. You still need to maintain the chain and bar though. It cuts great even though it doesn’t have the power or weight of a gas saw, and the bucking spikes work really well, almost too well actually. I actually burnt up the motor on my first one using the bucking spikes. I pushed it too much through cottonwood, but I liked it enough to buy a second one. I make sure not to get the motor too hot now and it’s been running great. It’s still heavy enough with enough power to melt through most cuts too. When it stops cutting so well make sure there aren’t wood chips stuck in the chain and don’t let the chips clog the saw. Remember when you see sawdust instead of chips it’s time to sharpen the chain. I tried the self sharpening, I didn’t think it worked that well. I like that when you let go of the trigger the chain stops almost immediately. It’s tool less adjustment and bar removal is a snap. Like all saws they leak bar oil, so don’t store it full, and open the cap just a little to prevent pressure from ambient temperature changes. I store it on a piece of cardboard on a tote lid to contain any mess. Make sure you get some bar oil with the saw, it comes with just enough for you to start cutting but run out before you’re finished with whatever you’re cutting.
I had a 288xp for years, anyone who runs big saws never gets tired of it when you get over a 100cc it's really a hard comparison there both beast in there own right
They're both impressive beasts! My take is the reason the Stihl is struggling is it's getting chip bound. It can't clear the chips as fast as it makes them. When it's dogged in it's filling up the cut with chips every time it's rocked back. Then has to cut the again and binds up. I have always felt RS chain is super aggressive right out of the box. The Husqvarna is an old design albeit a legend! It's showing its age. I think that's why if you check it's no longer listed on Husqvarnas web site. I suspect there's something new along the lines of the 572/592xp coming soon. I'm a husky guy at heart but I'll concede....the Stihl will outperform the 3120 all things being equal. I've never had the opportunity to run the 880/881 but did get to make 2 cuts in a hard maple about 33-34" in diameter with a 3120. That thing was a monster. Both in power and size/weight. With that said, I'd rather have a ported 395xp because it doesn't beat you up so bad! You're more productive if you can cut all day.
my friend. i have 088 ms880 3120Xp. those saws are beasts. The 3120Xp is a bit hotter than the ms880. cushioning ideal, power and speed all top top. watch my video and be my subscriber. there will be a video with 3120Xp. greeting 💪💪💪💪
I ve got a 3120XP, dont use very often, just mainly for stumping and big logs. My two common use saws are the 592XP and 661C, prefer the 592 over the 661 has more power
I love big saws. But I would like to see a comparison with those two and an old school McCullough 125 super pro with the kart engine just for shits and giggles.
Great video and nice saws from what I understand skip chain takes less power to run less cutters making contact with wood myself I still prefer full comp seems smoother even when filed more aggressively also felling spike design can cause binding up once against spikes and cutting you can slightly twist the power head and helps with that binding problem especially if falling a tree or bucking thanks
That is why I like my Husky is for the low end torque and how smooth it cuts, but I also like my Stihl for the raw power and durability, a Stihl will outlast a Husy in my opinion..But how well a saw cuts also depends a lot on technique, everyone cuts a certain way.
There is nothing wrong with STIHL ms881 using the wrong chain in that wood that’s why you have bad vibrations. I own both the same saws the Stihl ms 881 has more power and torque cuts faster than my husky 3120 I never use chisel chain on those big saws Semi Chisel is much smoother and safer less kick back.
I always enjoy watching the Stihl guys do all sorts of girl math to explain why the Stihls are still better, despite clearly cutting slower. 😀 Really, that 881 just had rakers too low for that dry wood. I'd take either of them any day over an axe. Great video! Even though I'm 2 years late to the party.
Both saws will absolutely suck until they both break in. Not one person mentioned this 🤷♂️. I bought a brand new Stihl 261 “Non Mtronic” saw with 20” bar, installed a hour meter+rpm gauge. I was not impressed with its performance. It Bogged super easy, stalled with little to no pressure. I swapped to a 32:1 mix ratio, installed a full chisel chain, I re-tuned the high/low jets on the saw to perfection. Did a bunch of heat cycles on my saw and running to allow break-in. After 2 hours of use on the hour meter, it’s finally impressing me. Feels like a demon race saw now lol. I went from not thinking 261 was enough saw, to wondering why it so powerful and sounds like the gates of hell while the bar is buried in wood. These saws really open up after break-in, it’s a real thing!!! Keep running the saws. They both will turn in to amazing machines.
I own a MS661 and I cut regularly with a 36” bar and chain. I think mine after broke in would hang with those saws out of the box! I think they suffer from just being too tight. Cut 5 cords of wood and do the same challenge, then you’ll see the true measure of the saw! My opinion, and it’s only worth 1/2 cent,,, I am old!
These saws are basically torque monsters for running longer bars in the 3-6 ft range. They aren't faster just like the 661 is actually slower than a ms261 when you're cutting smaller wood.
@@edwardrook8146 I think I would accept that challenge, inch for inch, no problem! My saw turns 10,000 rpm with very aggressive square cut 10* chains on a 28” for my small bar and 64” long for ripping slabs!
I have a Stihl MS 661 CM and I have to wear ear protection with it. These saws are even bigger, I can't imagine how these guys are doing it without protection.
32" Bar vs 36" bar gives the Husqvarna an edge to start with in power. Less bar = More Power and Vice Versa, not an even test. P.S. I own a 395xp and an echo CS-590 so im not a stihl guy but just saying, definitely not an even test.

I've owned a Husky 3120XP for years and it never goes wrong and it never fails to impress
Brings back memories of the first time I ran a chainsaw over 100 cc's... my hair was long, my thoughts were small...

Saws don’t just die. It’s made from components and those can all be replaced. What failed on your 881?
To the guy filming and narrating this video, you are a true and humble gentlemen. I really appreciated the entire thing. Quite comical and informative

Some tree service guys neglect the maintenance on their saws. That can really affect the starting
How dumb to think a Husqvarna starts easier all because it’s a husqvarna 😂
@@videocardzrule354 hay asshole thats my experience and i own both brands.
And thanks for the great video guys! Love that you have this kind of fun together and share it with us!

Shut up moron.

you're right. The 288 has 88cc and 6.1 horses. great power and top quality. ms880 088 and 3120Xp are another matter. watch my video big greetings 💪💪💪
Love my 3120 in big eucalyptus and oak.

My 066 flattop pulls a 36 full comp full chisel through dead hedge buried and doesn't jerk or bind up.

Chisel is much smoother and safer less kick back.
Makes me want to trade my Stihl, for a Husky!
The husky is based on a 30 year old design where the 881 is newly designed saw. The 881 also has more displacement and is strato engine.
I'm trying to get an 881 but no one has them. So husky it is.
I always enjoy watching the Stihl guys do all sorts of girl math to explain why the Stihls are still better, despite clearly cutting slower. 😀
Really, that 881 just had rakers too low for that dry wood. I'd take either of them any day over an axe. Great video! Even though I'm 2 years late to the party.
An entertaining n also some informative detail here! Thanks guys!! 💯👍👍
Looks like husqvarna may have hit dirt at 29:10.

Great video guys ! I'm impressed you got the Stihl to run at all.
I have a 3120xp and I prefer it over the ms880.
Rainbowed Stihl muffler? How long did the dealer run it? I ran 2 full mill passes today and mine looks really silver still.

You are right sir! My Stihl 261 out of the box sucked lol. It has 2 hours on my
Meter now. Re-tuned on 32:1 mix, it is a MONSTER little saw now.
How could you blokes initially not notice the skip tooth chain vs normal chain ??
husq 3120XP......................................................pure loveeeeee!!!
I have owned my 3120 for 32 years...now im getting older and weaker and now i struggle use it for very long
Hello. 361 coil has been work for 881 like on 880? And any coil 361 unlimited or just OEM ?
Your Safety Glasses are excellent! Where did you find invisible ones! I did hear you say you were gonna gear up. Hmmmmm
I have a Stihl MS 661 CM and I have to wear ear protection with it. These saws are even bigger, I can't imagine how these guys are doing it without protection.
Only idiots that don't care about their well-being wouldn't use personal protective equipment
Notice how the Husqvarna just keeps going. Stihl likes to choke up under pressure. I run nothing but husky
Chevy Ford it's all in what you like I'm a Husqvarna guy had Stihl for a while didn't like them myself but that's me..
Both are monster
Hera in Brazil Stihl is more famous than Husky....have much more after market spare parts.
These saws need ported and tuned
Even with a skip tooth the husky was pulling away from the sthil....👍
Husqvarna ❤
Husky for all day working ..Ask the loggers.😉395xp would make both big saws look slow..😉 288XP might also ..
PUT 272 coil on that big boy husky
Husqvarna
Hola como quisiera q llegue ala Argentina acá se usa mucho motosierra shtil
A mi me gusta Argentina! Estuve en Rosario por 2 anos de me vida. He visitado mucho de Argentina. Quiero regresar y visitar Bariloche.
The bar length difference ruins the comparison and video- the whole point is to compare same same.
Хускварны лучше чем штиль

o machado e a motosserra (The Axe And The Chainsaw)
eli silva & zé goiano
composição: moacir dos santos / zé goiano
o machado e a motosserra tiveram uma discussão
motosserra diz que é orgulho da evolução
machado pra mim já era pois vem do tempo de adão
você agora só serve pra fazer calo na mão motosserra dá um ronco relou o dente no tronco já se vê o pau no chão
a serra chamou o machado pra fazer uma porfia
machado aceitou na hora e quando chegou o dia
entraram junto no mato pra mostrar a serventia
a motosserra roncava machado velho tinia
e naquele matagal foi só cavaco de pau pó de serra que subia
e esse grande duelo deste jeito é que termina
na briga das ferramentas o machado é que domina
motosserra parou cedo ali no tronco da quina
machado seguiu cortando mata grossa e mata fina
motosserra impotente rebentou sua corrente acabou a gasolina
que isto sirva de exemplo para toda humanidade
e você que é tão jovem tem que saber a verdade
respeite bem os mais velhos não brinque com sua idade
uma pessoa idosa também tem utilidade
é um diamante valioso se não tivesse o idoso não teria mocidade
👍👍
Husqvarna good top 1 🤗🤗🤗
SUMTIN IS WRONG WIT DA STIHL, IT SHOULD NOT BOG AN STALL, EVEN WITH A FULL COMP CHAIN!
Sorry boys, brand new chains are not all that sharp
The person using the Stihl is not very proficient
sacale la motosierra sthil a ese flaco q se va acortar una pata
Stihl💩
Not hardly.
And who said men doesn't like toys? 😂
