I have 371 & 394 xp huskys, and an 041 stihl. My dad has a newer 044. The stihl (044) is very reliable, but underpowered and slooow (1000rpm deficit) compared to the 371. It is also VERY sensitive to raker height, contradictive to those who claim they make more torque. On a side note, the 041 is a very early non av saw, has been heavily used in the last 45 or so years, and has been trouble free.
The fire dept. bought a new 575xp, and it makes the 371 seem like a paperweight.
Someone on here said that his 046 was on par with a 395xp size husky/jonsered. Truth is, an 066 is very comperable, exept you have to clean the air filter twice a day, and it is slooower. (chain speed = productivity)
Stihl has recently overhauled their line, giving them "air injection", something husqvarna/Jonsered have been doing for twenty years. rpms are up, too.
