    Using Husky

    338XP for limbing/light work and track making/clearing

    345 for making clearings on the hunting block

    562XP with Autotune for firewood

    385XP for the 40 inch plus firewood

    Great chain speed, quiet, light, good fuel economy

    The autotune is good for sea level work at the orchards then 3000ft alt work on firewood without having to retune for altitude, just leave it idling for 30 secs and it's lil computer tunes fuel and ignition timing for the air density.

    I do get better performance from Stihl chain in semi and full Chisel as the cutters and chrome coating is harder than Oregon chain, stihl files suit the harder Stihl chain as well.

    I run then all on 50 to 1

    No engine damage in 30 yrs.

    The orchard saws are both Stihl 020T and they run 8 hrs a day for 3 months a year structure pruning in large fruit trees, zero problems with them, and They have been dropped out of hydraladas a few times
    JoshC, BRADS and smidey like this.
    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time
