Thank you so much for doing this work that I see no one else doing. BTW, after running Stihl saws for over 25 years, I recently switched to a Husqvarna for my small saw in a 550xp Mark II which I am just in love with in every way.
On the dyo run the 592 sounded stronger. Was really rooting for the 661. Ran stilhs all my life. They always seem to be an all around good saw. Nice to see all the power numbers. A great video.
@@lagoonrd4173 those ratings would likely be different if brought into load differently, you could hear the 661 trying to tune itself but it appeared to be at WOT bouncing around trying to tune so at such an abbreviated test it never got on tune.
@@kenthenry9351 He does several pulls with each saw and he uses the average or most consistent numbers and graphs with every run. A stock 661 isn’t making any power when the Mtronic is limiting the RPMs anyway around 13,000
I converted from Husky to Stihl. Husky is awesome if you can keep them together and running. And I always seemed to have starting issues. Never a problem with my Stihls or Echo units.
The 660 can be made to run strong IF the guy doing the work does a righteous job. Here’s a vid of a kick ass 660 ported by a guy from the west coast. A guy could make good coin with that torque monster. ..... ua-cam.com/video/LH08k5Kf4AI/v-deo.html
I have been a Husqvarna fan, but i like the caps on the Stihl no way of it being put on too tight and getting messed up by a T wrench, also not bubble primer fan.
First off I just wanna say how awesome this is. !!! You can go from what you “think” works to what you Know works. I can also see some close calls and trips to the ER because of the 592. I have a ported 661 Kevin L. Did for me and I definitely pay attention to what I’m doing when I use it. I’m sure there’s a homeowner out there replacing the husky 460 with a 592 for whatever reason putting a 20” bar and full comp chain and that’s a perfect combination to SnapBack and bite you. I know it sounds dumb but I watch videos on UA-cam a lot in the winter.
Thank you. Kevin builds a mean saw for sure. I know what you mean. Any saw can go bad in a hurry, but add extra power and less experience that isn't a good recipe at all.
@@dynojoemods2764 Friend, is a mixture of 1:33 with husqvarna ls + oil for 372 xp 357 xp and 351 and scythe 545rx suitable? What's the best oil to fuel ratio?
I like that the 661 torque and hp numbers are close together at/near peak. Probably why guys running them like them; not hunting for rpms to cut the big stuff.
I'd be interested to know what a 066 red light red lever makes. We have one 100% stock. We had three of them. They all seemed stronger than any 660 I've ever ran, fixed, cut with etc. I'd be interested in having you Dyno the saw for your channel if at all possible!
Hey Eric, we have a 066 redeye too that runs better stock than any of our other saws. It runs better than our 661 with a max flow filter and a egan straight shot on it and that helped the 661 out a lot. It was pretty weak before that
It’s amazing how many people have starting issues with Husqvarna’s and how many people have starting issues with Stihl. I genuinely think with either saw it’s all in what gas you use, what mix, how are you maintain the saw and if you follow factory regulations and guidelines for hot and cold starts. They are two cycle engines at the end of the day and they will all get temperamental. All of them. In my experience, having both and having followed the factory guidelines as well as running my now Husqvarna saws along side of Stihl’s, I can say that hands-down my Husqvarna saws never have starting problems. They are newer than older saws and I have been exclusively running Husqvarna premixed fuel and following factory guidelines. Never had any issues. Not one. It’s more expensive, but between the premix fuel and the meticulous maintenance adding in the factory guidelines, that should eliminate starting problems for both saws
Running ethanol free gas is an absolute must. As a small engine mechanic, I try to sell people on the idea that mixing fuel is a thing of the past unless you mix straight ethanol free gas with high quality 2-cycle oil. Using the cheap Echo 2-cycle oil will clog up your muffler eventually. It doesn’t burn as cleanly as a high quality marine 2-stroke oil. Even though ethanol free gas helps with reliability, that doesn’t mean that it will make the cheap brands any better than they are. I tell customers if your going to buy a 2 stroke, get a Stihl, certain Echo, and certain Husqvarna. Red Max, Kawasaki and Shindaiwa also get a pass but they aren’t as common in my area. Everything else is junk.
@@Omegadoomship Preach it brother. I won’t use anything less than 95 Ethanol free octane if I am going to do my own mix, and I will exclusively use Husqvarna oil. I’ve actually done my own experiments. To me the Husqvarna oil is far superior. However now I stick to premixed fuel as I’m not running the machines all day, every day. My 12 year old Stihl BR 600 is the only machine that I mix my own fuel for. The rest is Husqvarna premix fuel. All my machines run like new.
Man that 592xp is awfully strong. That's about where a stock 3120 is, although the 3120 has a lot more potential horsepower of course. I almost bought a 592 last year but wasn't crazy about getting an Autotune saw and bought a 395xp instead.
@@brettsamson204 I would love to dyno a Donny Walker saw sometime too. @Donny walker if you have an extra special recipe you would like to see on the dyno, let me know.
The 592xp and 661cm have the advantage of being perfectly in tune (autotune and mtronic) vs the “old school” manual carb versions : 395xp and 660. The 660 will p/u .5-.7hp with a dual port muffler or even a fuzz more with a gutted cage and tube exhaust made in the right length / diameter (definitely more torque)
Silly question- would more chain speed- a bigger clutch sprocket; or a smaller sprocket and shorter rakers for a bigger bite, work better with a long bar?
For a long bar buried I would use a 7 sprocket on all of these powerheads. Raker height is very user dependent. It is all a compromise. Big bite and slower chain speed can be faster and slower than little bite and lots of chain speed.

Wow great stuff. I was thinking pretty close to those results, but with the 661 and 592 reversed. The 660 was always a dog stock IMHO, sold mine when it was still almost new. Again great stuff!
It’s a dog here in the USA. The European versions feature the dual port which gives way more torque and a good .5+ hp . You’re just not gonna make good power with a 90cc class saw with an exhaust the size of a pencil eraser 😜
@Yukon Freightworks Canoe Manzo if you want to get rid of it I can make you a fair offer for it. Another option is to send it in to the shop for a steroid makeover. A video of said saw next , but let me say first that this 660 “dog” can be made much stronger torque-wise IF a guy possesses the knowledge to operate it properly .... see : maintenance ..... ua-cam.com/video/j-TIMDuGdNo/v-deo.html
That one is getting ported by another builder currently. Hope to have it back here in A few weeks. I also hope to have my own 592 build underway in the same time frame. Might even do a video like this if people like this type of build video.
always bought Husqvarna, Stihl rep came out to the landing, and left me two new model Stihl saws to test. Came back in a week to collect them. No sale. Stihls have the comfort level win…less vibration to the operator…but thats where the wins stop. Husqvarna is better in my books.
Sometimes that comfort level goes a long ways. With certain buyers. Whatever gets the timber on the ground safe and efficient is the best tool for the job. Will be interesting to see the power outputs once modified.
Thanks for sharing, I’m building myself a couple Frankensteins. I build motorized bikes and I bought two new top ends to try to build my first ever franks. I bought one ms460 with a 54mm piston and a ms660 with a 56mm piston. I’m goin to build the 460 first cause I think the customization will be a little less then the bigger one will be for size reasons. I think my bottom end crank case should fit the 54mm piston easier but either way I can’t wait to build them it should be here in the mail I. A couple days. I’ll definitely be posting it all in my channel and showing everything and how I do it all. Franks were really big a year ago or so when I got into this hobby and it’s always been a goal of mine so I’m very interested in the stock and or the ported dyno numbers you have from the saws. I know my power will b different for my for obvious reasons but it does give me an idea of where the power numbers might be. Thanks for sharing.
Should be fun builds. I have a couple Rdm billet cases and all sorts of top ends. I d have a stand to mount the bike engines on the dyno, but I need a better water supply to slow the 4:1 reduction of the bike engines. Hope this summer to start messing with them again.
@@dynojoemods2764 well I’ll be watching and maybe if it all turns out good on my end and you get the dyno done how you need for the bike motors, maybe I can send one of them out to you just to dyno for some fun to see. You know depending on shipping and if you can and all but I just think it be a fun as way to show them off. Either way like I said I’ll be watching and i still got to build them first so I guess we can see how it all turns out.
You can get the main setup, but still have to make the stand and all the adaptors needed to run the saws. Dynomite, and go power make small engine setups. They are in the 7-10k $ range to get one setup new
True to form , Husqvarna tends to out pace the Stihl in power and in tork . With the MS design you will loose some power at lower RPM and with the lighter crank in the these newer models you have less low end tork . Your power is solely made by high RPM with a limiter on the stock coil. Both Husqvarna and Stihl are great Chainsaws it's just how strong of saw do you need and how dependable.
Biggest thing with new saws purchase. Dealer support, Saw feel, then the power it puts out. But it is fun to see the power and how Much more that can be had.
Running them is the best way to tell which saw is best for you too. If you hate the feel of a certain saw it won't matter how much power it makes. Thank you for watching.
Love me some tangible numbers 😋 Don't suppose you could get a 500i with and without the barkbox for comparison. I enjoy your no bullshit videos. Respect from a UK arborist. I wish I was closer, Id get you to work on all my saws.
How do you think an old 066 would do against the newer saws? I have a sweet 066 with a WCS Bark box muffler as the only mod done,it rips. I started using Motul 800 oil and always use Chevron 94 octane gas,no ethanol. Have a bottle of Belray H1R to try after the Motul is finished,heard it’s even better. Greetings from British Columbia 🇨🇦
The old flat top 066 sure have a following. Most say they are the best runners. Maybe an exceptional runner could fit between the 395/661, possibly even besting the 661. But won't have the extra torque lower in the rpm range.
I was surprised that the saws with carb screws did not outperform the electronic models. I still think longevity wise being able to tweak the carb screws would make the better saw, especially when in the forest a long way away from a computer…
@Dartgame 340 they are supposed to self tune while running. Should be at ideal tune after a few cuts. The reset are a little different between stihl/husky but they catch on quick
@Dartgame 340 in theory, but not all electronics work flawlessly all the time, neither do manual carbs for that matter; an experienced operator being able to tweak the carb with just a flat blade in the woods is an advantage I see. I don't have anything against chip saws (as long as the epa does not require lean fuel mapping) and here they are proving to run pretty damn strong!
@@jimjackson5836 Part of it is due to the test procedure. Factory tests are much longer typically. Holding at 1-200 rpm increments for the entire duration of the test, then averaging all of those numbers together. A dyno is better used as a compairison tool. That was the big advantage running all the saws at the same time. Knocks out as many variables as possible
Yes it would, they gain pretty well just opening up the muffler. This was a stock only test. I will do a ported/modified test later on down the road once they are all finished.
@@dynojoemods2764 That's what i figured as sometime in 2020 is when the horse power de rate occurred and I believe late 2015 is when production switched from Sweden to Brazil on the 395s. There's another video you have where a stock 395 is putting out 7.07 horsepower and I'm assuming that is a model that's post de rate.
Was thinking the 660 would be in the ballpark. I got one of the last ones our dealer had before the 661. Got it from a friend that cut 2 giant cotton woods down and put it in the shop. Husky is my brand for 30 years. Couldn't pass this, up.
The 660 & 395 have proven to be strong and reliable saws. Not that I can say the same for 661 they haven’t been reliable as the 660. I hope the 592 xp will be as reliable as the 395 I’m very impressed with Dyno figures 592 Like your reviews 👍
No1 sells husky around here .but I was in a rural king and they had a 395 on the shelf .I picked it up and looked it over .it just felt chintzy and cheaply made .I sure wouldn't pay 1300 or so they were asking for it going by what I saw.
Joe, question for you. How much performance can you pick up by porting the new 592 ? I sent you a 572 about 5 months ago. It was a monster capable of hanging with a new 500i. I just wonder if the same sort of increase could be had with the larger saw.
From the couple of people I have talked to. They seem to wake up about like your 572. Glad to hear you are happy with your 572 as well. I hope to have a few ported 592 on the dyno soon.
I was really hoping the 660 pulled out a little bit better I was rooting for old school!! I port alot of saws my 660s And 395s are always good runners Haven't got my hands on a 595 yet interesting?!!
Hey mate was that 395 and the 660 tuned? I am a firm believer that a ported 395xp still produces more power than 592xp. Just my experience with porting them. Cheers from Australia 💪💪👍👍
It's a bit like comparing Kawasaki to Yamaha. Sure the Husky may give you slightly higher numbers but reliability and longevity forget it. Husky burned me twice and I will never forgive them. All my Stihls are still running, still starting easy. It's a no brainer. Tear apart a Husky and you will see why they don't last. They look pretty on the outside but single piston rings are harder on bores that are only single nickel plated. Husky cuts corners faster, that's all.
@@mmholling87 A lot depends on the metallurgy. Chrome nickel bores tend to be less prone to peeling than straight Nickel. Two rings in theory will have more friction than single rings but hold compression better and trap lubricant better. Husky bores are prone to casting voids that cause failure and even when you can prove it's a production fault they will not cover it. So Husqvarna got to screw me twice but never again.
I killed 7 saws commercial felling. Run 40:1. 5 stihls all melted piston skirts. 2 Husqvarna shit a ring Husqvarna for the win I say... Wayyyy nicer around the base of a tree than ya stinky stihl. No saw likes to be overheated so balance and torque is the question of who wins
@@benharman3003 Interesting. I will say this. The Stihl air filters do need cleaning more often, they do bog up faster. The lack of scavenging air in the filter box is unfortunate. Husky beat them to it there. We all know how quickly a bogged up air filter can screw your engine. I don't run my oil 50 to 1, but I don't mix it to oily either. I never use any two stroke oil other than Stihl ultra. Other oils have let me down. Another fatal mistake that can lead to overheating is to little bar oil. Back in the eighties Husky made good tough saws but those days are over.
Very interesting. I would have expected it to be like this except my guess was the 2 newest saws would have highest due to their engines having less wear. I'd be curious if we had essentially an even playing field. New top ends, carbs, air filters everything as if all 4 just left the factory.
The brand new saws are the most disadvantaged, full break in adds a bit of power from brand new. 2-5% in some cases. The 592xp and 395xp this was the fort time being fueled. The 661 has very low runtime. The 660 has the most run time, but still a very sound saw.
My question is how are the Husqvarna saws making more HP than they are rated for? For instance my 550xp "feels" stronger than my 261 did and my 562xp "feels" stronger than my 362c . All new saws but the Husqvarna saws seem stronger than Stihl.
Dang i always thought my 660 had more low pulling torque than my 395 like grunt power just know my 395 cuts a lot quicker thought it was just due to the higher rpms that the husqvarna turns vs the stihl i normally run either a 28 or 32 bar on them 36 if i have to but no matter bar size the husqvarna always cuts faster but just sure pulling power the 660 seems like it might have an edge over the husqvarna
@@dynojoemods2764 not 1 of those saws.work in the real world in the 6k,7,8,9k range. rpm range. The 395 needed leaned out little more for my tast. I own 3 of them i work them in the 11k range they are happy with tons of pull. I have 660s that lay down in the 9 to 11k range. So my experience with saws in the wood making hundreds of cuts is almost opposite your analysis.
@@dynojoemods2764 thats what I am saying brother. But no lol it will not turn 12 stock none of them will buried. But no one working any of these saws work.them in the 7,8,9k rpm range.. Its counter productive! But 7 or 8 pin sprocket 24" bar 24 " wood it will deff hold 10.5 to 11k happily.Think we are saying same thing maybe. I am not a good typer. I really enjoy your videos tho.
Torque must be all that really matters as my 395XP cuts faster than my buddies MS661. Just picked up the 592XP yesterday so can’t wait to see it really dominate my buddy’s Stihl and send him home thinking😆
Chain is the biggest difference maker. 1 swipe different it may favor either saw. Hope the 592 works out well for you. It could be a very nice saw. Time will tell
why is husky always stronger than stihl? and I really don't get it, how does a friggin 90cc 2 stroke have this low power? a 82cc dirtbike has like 30hp
Saws are designed to go 100s of hours meeting emissions and warranty requirements. Vs all out race bikes that habe short rebuild intervals and expansion chambers
@@julianlaustsen1991 Just the way they are built. The 461,500i beat out husky 70cc offering in stock form and the 462 is right close too. It comes down to what model, and what you are looking for, some cases are very close.
Wow, that 592 is pretty impressive. I'd like to see a shootout between the 585 carb, vs the 592
Who else wants to see part 2 with all 4 saws ported?

Wow great stuff. I was thinking pretty close to those results, but with the 661 and 592 reversed. The 660 was always a dog stock IMHO, sold mine when it was still almost new. Again great stuff!
I had heard that about the 660, it is refreshing seeing it on a graph to solidify the claim.
It’s a dog here in the USA. The European versions feature the dual port which gives way more torque and a good .5+ hp . You’re just not gonna make good power with a 90cc class saw with an exhaust the size of a pencil eraser 😜
@@fabzacres-blackcat they're both under same restrictions.
@Yukon Freightworks Canoe Manzo Not only was the single port exhaust crazy restrictive, but the exhaust port timing was bad on the late models.
@Yukon Freightworks Canoe Manzo if you want to get rid of it I can make you a fair offer for it. Another option is to send it in to the shop for a steroid makeover. A video of said saw next , but let me say first that this 660 “dog” can be made much stronger torque-wise IF a guy possesses the knowledge to operate it properly .... see : maintenance ..... ua-cam.com/video/j-TIMDuGdNo/v-deo.html
When are you porting the 592?
That one is getting ported by another builder currently. Hope to have it back here in A few weeks.
I also hope to have my own 592 build underway in the same time frame. Might even do a video like this if people like this type of build video.
@@dynojoemods2764 Thats right. Thanks
always bought Husqvarna, Stihl rep came out to the landing, and left me two new model Stihl saws to test. Came back in a week to collect them. No sale. Stihls have the comfort level win…less vibration to the operator…but thats where the wins stop. Husqvarna is better in my books.
Sometimes that comfort level goes a long ways. With certain buyers. Whatever gets the timber on the ground safe and efficient is the best tool for the job. Will be interesting to see the power outputs once modified.
Thanks for sharing, I’m building myself a couple Frankensteins. I build motorized bikes and I bought two new top ends to try to build my first ever franks. I bought one ms460 with a 54mm piston and a ms660 with a 56mm piston. I’m goin to build the 460 first cause I think the customization will be a little less then the bigger one will be for size reasons. I think my bottom end crank case should fit the 54mm piston easier but either way I can’t wait to build them it should be here in the mail I. A couple days. I’ll definitely be posting it all in my channel and showing everything and how I do it all. Franks were really big a year ago or so when I got into this hobby and it’s always been a goal of mine so I’m very interested in the stock and or the ported dyno numbers you have from the saws. I know my power will b different for my for obvious reasons but it does give me an idea of where the power numbers might be. Thanks for sharing.
Should be fun builds.
I have a couple Rdm billet cases and all sorts of top ends. I d have a stand to mount the bike engines on the dyno, but I need a better water supply to slow the 4:1 reduction of the bike engines. Hope this summer to start messing with them again.
@@dynojoemods2764 well now you definitely have my attention, thanks again I’ll be watching for sure!
@@dynojoemods2764 well I’ll be watching and maybe if it all turns out good on my end and you get the dyno done how you need for the bike motors, maybe I can send one of them out to you just to dyno for some fun to see. You know depending on shipping and if you can and all but I just think it be a fun as way to show them off. Either way like I said I’ll be watching and i still got to build them first so I guess we can see how it all turns out.

I think I got it right from the 592 un-boxing video. 595, 661, 395, and 660 in that order.
Hey are you setup Home made or can I buy it somewhere :-)
You can get the main setup, but still have to make the stand and all the adaptors needed to run the saws.
Dynomite, and go power make small engine setups. They are in the 7-10k $ range to get one setup new
Feel like my 660 underperformes. Less torque than I hoped. Gotta keep it reving. This kinda goes with what i thought.
I really thought the Stihl saws would come out on top of the torque and I was thinking the 592 would be last
True to form , Husqvarna tends to out pace the Stihl in power and in tork . With the MS design you will loose some power at lower RPM and with the lighter crank in the these newer models you have less low end tork . Your power is solely made by high RPM with a limiter on the stock coil. Both Husqvarna and Stihl are great Chainsaws it's just how strong of saw do you need and how dependable.
Biggest thing with new saws purchase. Dealer support, Saw feel, then the power it puts out.
But it is fun to see the power and how Much more that can be had.
Just stumbled across this video. Awesome stuff! Shows what it takes hours of running these different saws every day to figure out by feel otherwise
Running them is the best way to tell which saw is best for you too. If you hate the feel of a certain saw it won't matter how much power it makes.
Thank you for watching.
Something to be said for the new technology!!
Lighter, stronger, faster.... hopefully they hold up.
I love my 661
Isn’t the 395xp a 70cc? That’s what the specs say on the husky site don’t know if it’s correct or not? Just curious
Love me some tangible numbers 😋
Don't suppose you could get a 500i with and without the barkbox for comparison.
I enjoy your no bullshit videos. Respect from a UK arborist. I wish I was closer, Id get you to work on all my saws.
I'll have a 500i before long.....
Not sure about the bark box runs though. But I could do stock vs ported.
@@dynojoemods2764 yeah that would be wicked to see, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it
How do you think an old 066 would do against the newer saws? I have a sweet 066 with a WCS Bark box muffler as the only mod done,it rips. I started using Motul 800 oil and always use Chevron 94 octane gas,no ethanol. Have a bottle of Belray H1R to try after the Motul is finished,heard it’s even better. Greetings from British Columbia 🇨🇦
The old flat top 066 sure have a following. Most say they are the best runners.
Maybe an exceptional runner could fit between the 395/661, possibly even besting the 661. But won't have the extra torque lower in the rpm range.
@@dynojoemods2764 wow,quick response being so early,thanks😎
@@Whateva67
Welcome
Where you located? Dang curious to dyno run my three ported saws ... all woods ported
Michigan, just south of Lansing.
Www.worksaws.com for more pricing/info
Power to weight this really shows how impressive the old 064 was
I was surprised that the saws with carb screws did not outperform the electronic models. I still think longevity wise being able to tweak the carb screws would make the better saw, especially when in the forest a long way away from a computer…
Something to be said about adjusting the carb yourself in the woods.
@Dartgame 340 they are supposed to self tune while running. Should be at ideal tune after a few cuts. The reset are a little different between stihl/husky but they catch on quick
@Dartgame 340 in theory, but not all electronics work flawlessly all the time, neither do manual carbs for that matter; an experienced operator being able to tweak the carb with just a flat blade in the woods is an advantage I see. I don't have anything against chip saws (as long as the epa does not require lean fuel mapping) and here they are proving to run pretty damn strong!
Very interesting, i had no idea about who might be strongest.
Just subscribed. I have both saws but not that big. Only 50cc but just got a jonsered 2171. Thanks for the dyno.
I have a 50cc test like this in the works
Amazingly powerful
Great job! Good stuff!
We need to see the 585 as well.
I'll try and find one.
I’m guessing when you port the 592 it be around 10hp. What you think
I would like to think 10hp is possible.
Looks like it should make 10. Factory specs say HP is 7.6
Just wondering why the dyno is reading a horsepower more than what's its rated? Definitely took more to pull it down than the others.
@@jimjackson5836
Part of it is due to the test procedure. Factory tests are much longer typically. Holding at 1-200 rpm increments for the entire duration of the test, then averaging all of those numbers together.
A dyno is better used as a compairison tool. That was the big advantage running all the saws at the same time. Knocks out as many variables as possible
it's probably a good thing i can't afford a 592, 'cause i don't really need one but want one even more now. 😁😁😁
Who is going to port the 592?
Would be interesting how the original 395 before they restricted the muffler would fit in ;) nice job mate, thank you!
Yes it would, they gain pretty well just opening up the muffler. This was a stock only test. I will do a ported/modified test later on down the road once they are all finished.
Are you referring to the muffler restrictions that led to the de rate from 7.1 to 6.5 horsepower?
@@dynojoemods2764 Joe, what year was that 395?
@@ryancarmony6666
2017 I believe
@@dynojoemods2764 That's what i figured as sometime in 2020 is when the horse power de rate occurred and I believe late 2015 is when production switched from Sweden to Brazil on the 395s. There's another video you have where a stock 395 is putting out 7.07 horsepower and I'm assuming that is a model that's post de rate.
Was thinking the 660 would be in the ballpark. I got one of the last ones our dealer had before the 661. Got it from a friend that cut 2 giant cotton woods down and put it in the shop. Husky is my brand for 30 years. Couldn't pass this, up.
Try the 661 with an Adjustable Carburetor they are Awesome I'm a Stihl guy but i sure do wish they had Husky Gas &Oil caps,both are great Saws.
@@missourimule2827 I don't like the caps on the 660. I do like the one's on my 572. I don't need a scrench for it.

The 660 & 395 have proven to be strong and reliable saws.
Not that I can say the same for 661 they haven’t
been reliable as the 660.
I hope the 592 xp will be as reliable as the 395
I’m very impressed with Dyno figures 592
Like your reviews 👍
Nice
Szuper videó👍👍
No1 sells husky around here .but I was in a rural king and they had a 395 on the shelf .I picked it up and looked it over .it just felt chintzy and cheaply made .I sure wouldn't pay 1300 or so they were asking for it going by what I saw.
Üdv ez a videó zseniális. Feliratkoztam
Nem tudom mi az a szerkezet amivel terheled illetve méred a teljesítményt de brutál jó. Ment a like 🤝👍✌
You can see why everyone likes the 395XP. Old trusty .. The big question is which one would do that the longest?
What’s going on with the 40 to 1 Husqvarna other fuel is 50 to 1 and this is what I have ran for ever just wondering your reasoning
In the modified saws I just like a little bit more oil. It really helps the late model saws with the air injection/ strato ports.
That 592 is stronger than I thought, but man it's ugly as sin.
They do have a certain look... That is for sure. Most of it is the updated muffler.
Sin actually "looks" good
Couldn’t disagree more about the aesthetics of the Husqvarna saw! Two of my female customers called my XP saws “sexy”. No joke. 🤣🤣🤣
Would be Bice to have the dolmar in there as well
Joe, question for you. How much performance can you pick up by porting the new 592 ? I sent you a 572 about 5 months ago. It was a monster capable of hanging with a new 500i. I just wonder if the same sort of increase could be had with the larger saw.
From the couple of people I have talked to. They seem to wake up about like your 572. Glad to hear you are happy with your 572 as well.
I hope to have a few ported 592 on the dyno soon.
Husky 592 better and win💪💪
I was really hoping the 660 pulled out a little bit better
I was rooting for old school!!
I port alot of saws my 660s
And 395s are always good runners
Haven't got my hands on a 595 yet interesting?!!
🤤🤤🤤🤤 love this is
Hey mate was that 395 and the 660 tuned? I am a firm believer that a ported 395xp still produces more power than 592xp. Just my experience with porting them. Cheers from Australia 💪💪👍👍
It's a bit like comparing Kawasaki to Yamaha. Sure the Husky may give you slightly higher numbers but reliability and longevity forget it. Husky burned me twice and I will never forgive them.
All my Stihls are still running, still starting easy. It's a no brainer.
Tear apart a Husky and you will see why they don't last. They look pretty on the outside but single piston rings are harder on bores that are only single nickel plated.
Husky cuts corners faster, that's all.
Technically a single piston ring would cause exactly half the wear of two rings but in reality the bore is much harder than the rings.
@@mmholling87 A lot depends on the metallurgy. Chrome nickel bores tend to be less prone to peeling than straight Nickel.
Two rings in theory will have more friction than single rings but hold compression better and trap lubricant better.
Husky bores are prone to casting voids that cause failure and even when you can prove it's a production fault they will not cover it.
So Husqvarna got to screw me twice but never again.
I killed 7 saws commercial felling. Run 40:1. 5 stihls all melted piston skirts. 2 Husqvarna shit a ring Husqvarna for the win I say... Wayyyy nicer around the base of a tree than ya stinky stihl. No saw likes to be overheated so balance and torque is the question of who wins
Husky has a bigger crank too lol
@@benharman3003
Interesting. I will say this. The Stihl air filters do need cleaning more often, they do bog up faster.
The lack of scavenging air in the filter box is unfortunate. Husky beat them to it there.
We all know how quickly a bogged up air filter can screw your engine.
I don't run my oil 50 to 1, but I don't mix it to oily either. I never use any two stroke oil other than Stihl ultra. Other oils have let me down. Another fatal mistake that can lead to overheating is to little bar oil. Back in the eighties Husky made good tough saws but those days are over.
😎
There all good saws if you know how to file a chain keep them sharp
Hit the like button guys
Thank you
Very interesting. I would have expected it to be like this except my guess was the 2 newest saws would have highest due to their engines having less wear. I'd be curious if we had essentially an even playing field. New top ends, carbs, air filters everything as if all 4 just left the factory.
The brand new saws are the most disadvantaged, full break in adds a bit of power from brand new. 2-5% in some cases. The 592xp and 395xp this was the fort time being fueled. The 661 has very low runtime. The 660 has the most run time, but still a very sound saw.
Dyno Joe Mods Is that additional power after break-in due to rings seating or something else?
@@Rein_Ciarfella
The 2-5% I mention above is because of break in.
@@Rein_Ciarfella it is due to rings getting seated.
My question is how are the Husqvarna saws making more HP than they are rated for? For instance my 550xp "feels" stronger than my 261 did and my 562xp "feels" stronger than my 362c . All new saws but the Husqvarna saws seem stronger than Stihl.
La MS 660 es la mejor de las 4 en durabilidad. Fin
661 is too choked off at the factory to meet stripped European emissions. It needs a muffler mod and a little bit of work
Dang i always thought my 660 had more low pulling torque than my 395 like grunt power just know my 395 cuts a lot quicker thought it was just due to the higher rpms that the husqvarna turns vs the stihl i normally run either a 28 or 32 bar on them 36 if i have to but no matter bar size the husqvarna always cuts faster but just sure pulling power the 660 seems like it might have an edge over the husqvarna
Pls. Stihl ms 390 Stock end muffler mod. Thank you freind
Nice!
396 was not tuned at all!
What was wrong with the 395 tune? That one is on par or slightly better performing than all of the other 395s I have tested.
@@dynojoemods2764 not 1 of those saws.work in the real world in the 6k,7,8,9k range. rpm range. The 395 needed leaned out little more for my tast. I own 3 of them i work them in the 11k range they are happy with tons of pull. I have 660s that lay down in the 9 to 11k range. So my experience with saws in the wood making hundreds of cuts is almost opposite your analysis.
@@steppoffaith8426
The 395 was tuned close to 12.5k maybe a tad rich still. But 395 stock won't hold over 12k in the wood bar buried.
@@dynojoemods2764 thats what I am saying brother. But no lol it will not turn 12 stock none of them will buried. But no one working any of these saws work.them in the 7,8,9k rpm range..

Now put a 7 pin sprocket on that 661 see what that dose !! You might be surprised.
Shocking!!
Torque must be all that really matters as my 395XP cuts faster than my buddies MS661. Just picked up the 592XP yesterday so can’t wait to see it really dominate my buddy’s Stihl and send him home thinking😆
Chain is the biggest difference maker. 1 swipe different it may favor either saw. Hope the 592 works out well for you. It could be a very nice saw. Time will tell
@@dynojoemods2764 I agree that all these saws are all so close that a sharp chain is all that matters. I just like firing up the Stihl fanboys😀

why is husky always stronger than stihl? and I really don't get it, how does a friggin 90cc 2 stroke have this low power? a 82cc dirtbike has like 30hp
