50-60cc Chainsaw Comparison

[Treespotter]

Nope. Maybe you could check Arboristsite for those legs and read the 6100 story there. I can't really be bothered. O and Eddy_t, isn't the whole petrol chainsaw thingie produced by Stihl and Husqvarna in the end a complete borrow of Dolmar?

BTW, I can assure you that there's probably no such thing as a borrow. Those companies have their legal stuff probably sorted out better than us.

One day when I have time (so probably never) I'm going to compare all our 50 and 60cc saws: ported 357, 550, ported 254, 6100, ported 034 and a 362... I'll video it and if Matty wants to bring his 560 as well we'll have a pretty broad comparison..

By borrow, I mean paying large amounts of money to have the privilege. And no, dolmar made a chainsaw, it used scratcher tooth chain, everything then on was a development from a massive, clumsy and expensive machine. Hand-chain saws had been developed long before, as had the revolving chain saw, as had powered saws, dolmar just combined them.

 

He wasn't much further ahead in design to Stihl, both released their model A in 1927

What does make me smile about the 'Dolmar is better than husqvarna' statement is:

Centrifugal air cleaning (jonsered patent)

Lower emissions - strato engine (zenoah patent)

Spring av (can't remember which husky owned company it's from)

Mpi technology (e-carb) (husky patent)

Easy start (Stihl elasto-start)

That's an awfully large amount of borrowed tech! It pretty much leaves the dogs and casings as their own

Beat me to it. McCulloch also had rather a lot to do with 2-stroke development.

Husky "loans" a few things to Stihl - but not to Dolmar, that I know of. Dolmar had to work their own way around the patents, which seldom produces stellar results.

They both make their own definations, tailored to make themselves "first" - but it just is BS, as none of them even was close to first - by more "neutral" definations.

Sounds a plan tom.

I wouldn't imagine there are any loopholes for strato, the centrifugal filtering or any of the other patented 2-stroke designs

[Stubby]

Thats the great thing about " imagine " it can be anything you like !

Which things in particular? Not the autotune that I know...
