new chainsaw advice stihl ms250 or husqvarna 445

[metz12]

So, here i am asking about chainsaw advice again. But I just picked up a huge job for clearing dead trees (there is like 20-30 of them on the property) and I have been using my dads ms170 (for those of you that read my last chainsaw post, yes i got my dad a stihl ms170 and he and i both like it.) for the small jobs that i have done and its just not "cut" laughing it for this big job. so im curious which saw i should go with, a stihl ms250, or a husqvarna 445. Im kind of leaning toward the 445 because it is the new version of my old faithful husqvarna 345 (R.I.P). they both are right around the same price and both have great reviews. thanks in advance.

here are the links to both of them on the dealer websites

I'm running the MS 180 and I really like it. If you and your dad both like the Stihl I'd stay with it. Personally I'd go with the Stihl MS 250 with the 18" bar.

well my dad loves his 170, and i think its a cool little saw but i still like husqvarnas because i had such good luck with my 345. its the classic chevy, ford debate.

Now wouldn't it figure I like Ford :laughing: Hey if you like the Husqvarna go with it :thumbsup: it's a good saw.

Im 100% Stihl all the way. I dont like Husqvarna for anything. Quality seems too cheap on there saws. Just my opinion.
