    Husky wins ! Ive used both and picked the husky because its more powerful for less the price of the Stihl.and i dont want to have to worry about valve adjustments every few months and having to bring it back to the stihl shop and pay there ridiculous rates. And the sound of the 4 mix engine would drive me mad😂.

    I’ve had both the Stihl and the Husqvarna weed trimmers. I currently have the 525 and the 535. All of them are really good however the Husqvarna edges out because of the incredible torque making it so that it does not get hung up and difficult. Targets. It also does better in gas

    These are both such good trimmers it really is a tough pick. I love husqvarna. Im a husqvarna guy for my business. I want both stihl and husqvarna trimmers though. I love the sound and throttle control of a stihl trimmer for daily use and they have tons of power. But husqvarna makes really nice trimmers as well. I just bought a Husqvarna 525 LST today and plan to buy the 535 LST as well and a 525 edger. Then once I have those three ill upgrade to a 4 banger trailer rack and get a husqvarna to have a permanent brush blade on. It will be a perfect setup.
    I used my 525lst today and overall liked it. Its a tad short im taller and it burns my arm by the exhaust and its hard to slow trim where it rocky. It likes to go wide open! But its great and looks amazing too!

    I'm running a 525l doing my properties. For me at least id rather have a little less power and carry around a featherweight all day. I'm planning on getting a more powerful unit though just to use on real over grown jobs but not for constant daily use.

    I've tried a Husky 4 years ago and almost dislocated my arm trying in vain to start it. Disgusted, I ended up returning the husky to the store, got a refund and bought a Stihl and been running with Stihl ever since 😊. I won't buy another husky ever again in life.
