Hi,
New to the forum.
I'm in the market for a new chainsaw and I have it narrowed down to the Husky 460 Rancher and the Stihl 290 Farm Boss. I'd like to get the most power for my buck and I have a question about comparing the specs of the two models.
Husky lists the 460 as 2.7KW and 3.7 HP
Stihl lists the 290 as 2.8 KW and 3.8 BHP
Question 1 - Does the break in the break horse power make a difference here (as opposed to regular horse power)?
Question 2 - The 460 has a listed CC of 60.3 and the 290 lists 56.5. Which is a better indication of overall output power - KW/HP or CC's?
Also, any overall performance comments would be appreciated....
Thanks
