stihl or husky ??

the 046 powers a 25"bar easily with no lag at all, i would imagine the 066 would cut through stone blunt with a 25" bar on it, it is more the extra bar length without having the weight of the 088. reminds me of my first 084 with 19" bar:scared1:

 

My 044 has an 18"

 

I like the 25" on the 66 with a 8 tooth sprocket.

 

How often do you cut timber thats 60" diameter???

the 8 tooth sprocket makes all the difference! with a 7tooth there is little difference in cutting speed between a 70 and 90cc saw (running 25"bars)... now, open up the muffler and massage the ports a little and try that 066 with a 9pin mwa ha ha:w00t:

 

come across any 84"dbh trees that have warranted that 42" bar yet dave?

How is that possible?? it defies the laws of physics??

 

Ok but no discerable loss of cutting power then. Not into lab analysis!

Not yet, but when I do I'll be ready!!!

66 even with a 36" bar cuts well.

 

Keep meaning to bung an old 20" off the 46 to try it out:w00t:

I used to run an 066 with an 18" bar for firewooding, very effictive combuination

[Stephen Blair]

i used to run a 20" bar on the 046, but the oil wouldnt stay on the chain it was going round that fast, so i jumped up to the 25". does anyone run a 30" on a 046??

like i said in my origional post , i would liuke a newer big saw for work within the tree . ie whan im climbing . i know i can fell nearly three times the bar size but what the hell ! i have an ms 880 so no need for that lol . i have been thinking about buying a 441 but have heard conflicting reports on them

yeah i have dome accros a couple , one is a certin pine but lets not mention that lol . i believe in using morepowerfull saws with smaller bars , less stress on the saw and more productive cutting
