STIHL vs Husqvarna Chainsaw | I Didn’t Expect THIS Winner, You Decide!
What happens here
The chainsaws are tested on a larger log, approximately 10 to 11 inches in diameter (red oak). The presenter performs two cuts with the Husqvarna 460 Rancher and then two cuts with the Stihl MS 311, each at full throttle. The Husqvarna cuts through the log noticeably faster and with less engine bogging, demonstrating superior cutting power and efficiency compared to the Stihl. The Stihl, equipped with a factory chain, cuts slower and experiences more noticeable strain.
Goal: Evaluate chainsaw performance in bucking larger diameter wood.
