50cc Saw and Chain Shootout

[Erick]

Troll they're all 3.5HP versions once you open up the pin hole in the muffler a little, I'd say the newer 44.7 should even be a touch better.

Wheres the pics of that side of beef on the grill with Chef Boyrdee at the helm??

Andy got those pics.

I really couldn't care a rat's Ash about the times, all I know is I'm a beast.

Lol. Thanks for dragging those logs out of the woods, as only a beast could have done!

It was a good bit slower and I mean a GOOD bit slower, but what the numbers don't tell is how they cut.... you can push on the 028 and it pushs back the others kind tend to lay down a bit when you push them.
A great saw in it's day, its just today wasn't it's day.

I guess that depends on the wood - I usually push a tad on them, in my wood....

:agree2: - the 44.7 ones still are rated at 3.5hp here, with a more open muffler than in the US.......


....but most users won't open the muffler....

You can push all of them "a tad", you can lean on the 028 a good bit. It's not gonna compete with the others for cut speed in a cookie race... NO WAY, NO HOW!!! And compared to the others its a good bit heavier and handles like a cinder block, but for a guy who just needs to get the trees to fit in the stove it's still a great option and will probably still be cutting wood long after the others are dead and gone.

Does this mean that I can add "Friend of The Beast" to my sig?????




With your permission of course your beastiness.

I wasn't too impressed with my OE346 at our last GTG even with 325 chain, but that was a hickory cant though. I'm sure a 5100 would have been impressive in the hard wood since it does so good with 3/8 chain.

Nice job guys.opcorn:

Thank You

Just wanted to say thanks again to Nik and Linda (and neighbors) for putting up with us for the day, and to ALL for the great fun and friendship.

A special thanks to Mike for providing the fine entertainment and bringing some right tasty dead critter for the grill, but mostly for carting my big arse around for the day.

Got to run some nice saws, dispel a few myths and rumors, ate like a man ought to eat and wash it down with some of the finest suds I've had the pleasure to sample. I HAD A GREAT TIME!!

Lets do this again soon.

 

[rms61moparman]

I totally agree Erick,


I was sitting there yesterday looking around and thinking of the old beer commercial for Old Milwaukee.

We had a yard full of the best chainsaws ever made. The weather was perfect for August. Our bellies were full of fantastic grub. The beer was cold and fit to drink. The laughter was flowing as freely as the beer and I looked from Brad to Andy and Erick then Nik and thought......"It doesn't get any better than this".

Looks like you guys had a good time!!! I bet the neighbors were pleased!!! Nik nice pile of cookies, I hope you have a wood stove to fill cookie jar!!! Mopar I like the songs especially "winner" LOL

I am kinda disappointed though, I thought all the saws were going to be stock for the comparison and not "stock except a slight muffler mod" WTF

Looked like fun though and is good for some reference for how close all the saws really are. As said before you could depend on any of them it's just preference. Good job guys

I loved doing it, and I can't wait to do it again. I'm glad I know you guys!!

 

[ropensaddle]

Looked like a great time but appeared the 346 took it by a narrow margine then ms361 jmo.

my 034 turns 15k

 

[rms61moparman]

my 034 turns 15k

In or out of the cut????

RPMs out of the cut don't impress me much.

I heard a very smart man recently say that "If your saw turns 17000 out of the cut and 7000 in, and mine turns 9500 out and 9000 in....guess who wins....EVERYTIME!"
