50-60cc Chainsaw Comparison

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

seem to assume that the specs are always correct and accurate. This is far from the case in reality though

 

just spat my tea out! Information now from real life as well as printed data?!

 

On the efco saws:

They are old skool, solid saws.

 

The 56cc efco is ace.

 

 

Second that; 156 is a right nutter; cutters friend.

 

My experience is that the 56cc saw is an absolute screamer, very much like the old Husky 254xp,

The 560xp is much lighter than the MS362, more than the 300g that the specs show. The most important difference is that the 560 is a much more nimble and well handling design though, and performs better as well in the real world.

 

That has always been the case in the stihl vs Husky argument, the huskys are always more nimble, the 254 was way more checkable than the 034, as is the 357 is compared with the 362. I have a loathing for saws which need computers, such as the 550 / 560, however good they are I hate the idea of being beholden to someone else in the event of a break down. Our 550 has had to go back to the dealer for a software upgrade already. I'd take my ported 357 over a 560...

But unless you have better quality information that is publicly available, that is the best comparison that can be made. Do you have such information available?

 

I made a similar comparison of power/weight etc for pro-type saws some time ago, which is available here: http://bit.ly/chainsaw-data

 

That sheet looks great Morten.

I don't want to punish you with extra work but I have a suggestion.

Could you add two rows. I think it would be very interesting to see a comparison between the factory stated kilowatts and the KWF tested kilowatts.

Another row with newton would be great. That's where the real workhorse saws are separated from the whiners.

I think it needs another column, titled Orange with options Yes - No.

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

another column - reliability score

 

and as above kwf torque figures.

I have just added the KWF Power (kW), Torque (N) and Weight/Power figures from the reports to the table.

 

TimberCutterDartmoor: If you can find a source of an objective measure for reliability, I would be happy to add that alongside the rooster-egg column
