Poll: What is the saw to have in the 70-80cc range?

[MustangMike]

Thanks for the clarification, interesting stuff I never knew was out there.

Stihl 60cc saws:

361: 2.9/3.6
362: 3.5/3.5

You guys want vibes???
I'll let you use the stihl 039 with a welded pop up piston I got...
I think it can actually heat up the air around the damn thing...

Stihl MS 461!! FTW!!

Or a MS 460!!

The 461 will be returning home tomorrow with a matching sticker that is on the 460.

this lists the vibes for the 6400 but not sure which ones to quote from it. there are 4 different sets of numbers to choose from

I've used them for years...
No surprise at all..
7910 is at the top of the heap right now as far as stock offerings out there today...

That's my silly opinion..

HATER!!!

039/390 has bad vibes (which is why I keep my 310 as a 310):

MS390: 5.9/5.1
MS310: 4.3/4.7
MS290: 4.6/5.7

All the tests are run that way with three numbers for idle, running, and WOT. You have to read the bottom there where it lists the ISO numbers which are an average of the three, run 1/3 of the time with each. From those, the Dolly 6400 is not so good:

5.9/3.6 m/s*s front/rear

i figured it was the ISO number but didnt know what you was quoting and i hunted and hunted but couldnt find 7900/7910 numbers. not sure how much difference there is.

For the same reason the 290 has more vibes than the 310 I would suspect.
Just a theory of course...

Different engines, different running characteristics, different running speeds, different balance, different vibes.

Ahemmm...................70-80cc ......................70-80cc .............

And what about the vibe #'s on the 7900?

Maybe this is of interest , had it among the Dolmar files on my hard drive:



The Dolmar file , from a repair manual version 2002-05 EN , seems inaccurate as it claims identical vibration for all three bore's?!

Ahemmm...................70-80cc ......................70-80cc .............

MS180 all the way, baby!

6.6/7.8.... one of the worst saws ever for vibes.

This thread is making me hungry, who's in for pulled pork or smoked turkey off the big green egg ?

I dont have a 80cc saw. But i have used ms880 ms660 440 and the husky 372 stock was a beast in a large sugar maple able to burry the bar and could not stop it. when the 660 was struggling with light pressure. I like like stihls but when stock saw to stock saw battle goes husky is the motox saw vs the honda goldwing cruiser

Im a smoker too and the pork shoulder has me jealous now that its too cold to smoke. Enjoy

Because it stihl will be running when the rest are worn out/dead. I don't care about 2-3 lbs or fractional HP

I do agree stihl last longer and less performance vs husky and the jugs wearing out Quick. Its a give or take toss up
