Bigger saw wanted

huntsman77

Hi in the market for a bigger saw something that will take up to a 20inch bar and have enough power to drive it. Was looking at husqvarna rancher 455 and stihl 391. Anyone have either of these or recommend something else.

Bought are a good saw but both are clamshell design which is as good and are as capable as a magnesium crank case, in my experience clamshells won't last as long in daily work but would work fine in occasional work. I'd look for either a stihl ms 362 or a husqvarna 562xp
There expensive but would last longer in the long run

Ms 391 would have some grunt over the 455
