saw test tomorrow

[spudulike]

The MS66 will probably have it just for cutting small stuff on a 3/8 chain, the 560 will be up there and ahead of many of the rest.

 

We did similar over a year ago and the big saws on 3/8 are faster than the smaller ones on 0.325 - next you will be looking at having them ported:thumbup:

 

Can't say on the Dolmars - not played with them yet:blushing:

I'm putting good money on the Echo's. My 420 is a powerfull little bugger :-)

Well here goes! nice clean poplar log at 200mm (8"),letting the saws do the work and not using dawgs:

 

stihl 066 25" 24.5 seconds

stihl ms460 20" 18.8

echo 610 18" 24.3

echo 550 16" 27.8

husky 550xp 13" 26.3

husky 560xp 15" 22.1

husky 242xp 13" 31

dolmar 5105 16" 27.1

 

Popped the 15" on the husky 550xp as suggested and it managed 28.5

the dolly and echo 550 were literally on second tank out of the box so probably a little tight still

not an exact science or test but interesting

[THE88MAN]

sorry,10 cuts

[THE88MAN]

oh,and the 254 forgot to get on the bus

[skyhuck]

I think your 66 needs a sharpen or a retune.

Would love to have seen result of 560 on 3/8, I have always liked the stihl 460

I think your 66 needs a sharpen or a retune.

I think being all downward cuts I was slower to manoeuvre the cumbersome beast,it handles the 3 ton pops ok
