I basically agree, but there are other options out there than straight 63PS and 63PM.
-
Hardly, and the issue will stay the same, as it is an inherent issue with inboard clutches! Also, less money doesn't automatically mean "smart" money. The best ways to solve the OP's issue is to keep a supply of spares - or get a Husky with an outboard clutch. There are other benefits as well with that solution!
-
I would think there are other forums that are more suitable for this question, like the collectors forum that is linked up here: Chain Saw Collectors Corner Home
-
I have notised it as well, but only the new little PS-352(?) so far - so there is hope for the future....
-
Bar length should be measured from the front of the saw case to the top of a cutter at the tip.
-
There is lots of misinformation and misunderstandings on this topic out there. It isn't difficult at all to remove the clutch on a fairly new outboard clutch Husky - you don't even need a piston stop, and no other special tools, just a screwdriver or similar and something suitable to hit it with. Swapping chains is a couple of seconds faster with an inboard though - big deal!
-
That may well be - but the inboard clutch really messes up the handling of those Dolmars - major mistake! I have a 5100SH, but haven't used it in the woods after the first couple of outings with it.
-
True - but far from all ads include such specs.
-
What you put together for your own use is nobodys business - but never present the result as the real thing. It will be heavier, and of sub-standard quality - there is no way around that! ....and of course you will be supporting the cheaters....
-
Actually, it isn't mine - but I agree with it. Those that claim Echo is anywhere close to a top tier brand are doing the public a major disservice - as it simply isn't.
-
Of course it is - but as always shorter is better (within reason). I doubt skip chain is a good idea though, at least try full comp first.
-
No, not really black, just dark gray - but a lot of people have called it black. The real point is that it isn't white or orange.
-
The orange tops are the 51 and 55. Some black top parts fit, and others don't.
-
Echo seemingly is making major effort to no longer be 3.tier brand, and they may succeed in making 2.tier in some classes after the merger (or whatever it was) with Shindaiwa - but no more than that.
-
According to Husky, the 51cc top end doesn't fit the 50 Rancher (or the gray top that wasn't a Special). Some info from Husky; 50 Special vs 50R (SB 1990).pdf 50 Special vs 50R (SB 1989).pdf
-
I have looked closer at it, and it looks good. There is one major mistake there though, on the page listing the different groups of saws. It states that the group 3 and group 4 saws share the mount, and this is not correct. Also, the statements that .063 is standard gauge are incorrect. So far, I don't find a way to add chains and sprockets to the "cart"? How do I find out how much freight will be to Norway?
-
I don't believe for a second that it is a coincidence that "hail Echo" threads lately have appeared on about all saw forums - it likely is a campaign sponsored by the brand! The desperate way the fans are defending their "wiews" only serve to support this theory.
-
It is an option that is listed in the part lists - but on some markets (most notably the US) they more or less standardized on it. Any Husky dealer should be able to get the parts for you, if you really want it (I certainly don't). It is about more than just the filter and cover though - the attachment between the carb and filter also is different.
-
Not true - not even close. They tend to do almost everything right with pro saws in the 50 and 60cc classes though - but not in all classes (at the moment). There are many Husky models that I don't like, or are critical to. Even the 372xp has its faults - but so does everything else in that class....
-
It is, and the Poulan Pro 415 and 425 is early and late P660, the PP445 is the P710, and the PP475 is the early P7700/2077. As others have said, the 2083 II was the same as the late production 2077/P7700 (76.5cc). I used "early" here about the versions without the fully developed "Air Injection", and "late" about those that have it. Al the 82.4 and 70.7cc ones have it. The saw this thread is about is interesting, as "Provserie 2" means "test series 2" in English. It certainly left the factory as an 82.4cc one.
-
I am totally calm, and I don't do personal attacks.
-
Hate is a way too strong word, I don't hate any chainsaw that works (unless it is a Chinese scam saw). Pointing out that there are better options around is very different from hate - but I am quite tiered of reading hype about the Echo saw from small groups of people that seems "desperate" about it. The same is the case with the 50 and 60cc Dolmar saws, but to a lesser degree.
-
The 391 also is even heavier.
-
Engine size. On some markets (like the US) the Farm Boss was the 029, and later the 290. The standard 029 had an even smaller engine than the 029 Super and 290. Measure the bore to find out what it really is.
-
It isn't a semi pro saw, just a large "homeowner" saw (clamshell engine and plastic case) - large and heavy for the performance.
