At the risk of the wrath of Thor, I would like to see a 362 C in the mix also.

It has an inboard clutch, and a VG air filtration system, so if you get a chance, run one and provide your feedback.

Thanks.

Yeah that would be cool. No one around here I know has one so if anyone wants to send one to run ill gladly review it :)
 
Just so you guys know what i asked for and can chime in with any reason that it is a bad idea here is what i told him.

Here is the reason i say make them like the husky but with 8mm.

I measured various D176 mount saws today. Early XL-12. Homelite XL-800/850. Poulan 3400. Poulan 5200. Lombard Cyclone. Echo CS500VL. Pioneer 11-60. They all come up as being around 1.556" outside edge to outside edge. They all fit these "S" stud spacer clips that were once common for adapting a D096/D196/UXL bar onto an A176/D176 mount saw. "Eccentric"

echo 6700 "cut4fun"

and 8000 measures 1.894 outside to outside "rmotoman"

echo 590/600/620 is 1.885
Dolmar small mount is 1.630

husky styled will make them fit a large variety 8mm stud saws. may run into the same problem that i had with the husky adapter on the 7900 but on this adapter i think it will be worth the trade off.





and if you havent seen the husky adapter i am referring to...http://performanceoutdoorequipment.com/products/husqvarna-to-stihl-bar-adapter



Any comments? Any thing i am not thinking about with the way this will fit? I know on some saws the adapter will be a bit long and the the mounting slot in the bar will need modified. Before i end up with another 40 useless adapters ( the cannon echo adapters) please speak up with anything i am not thinking about.
 
BTW guys...Thanks allot. I am seriously considering selling my mastermind ported 6100 and replace it with a 620PW. I keep looking at it sitting on the shelf all lonely and stuff. It needs a loving home where it can have a purpose.
 
I might be a little off the current subject here but got a new addition for the 620p. Earlier in this thread, Reed posted some vids of his 620 running a 27" bar (or 28", not sure). It was impressive to say the least.

I've been wanting to add a 28" saw to my lineup for the rare occasion that we run into some bigger wood. Been keeping my eye out for a used 372xp but haven't ran across the right saw. After seeing how Reed's 620 pulled that bar, I think I'm going to hold off on that until I explore this avenue. My 20" and 24" bars will comfortably handle 90% of the softwood we cut but it would be nice to have the option to go bigger when the opportunity presents itself. If it works like he has demonstrated, I guess I owe Reed a cold one for saving me a good chunk of change. Unfortunately, it will be a few months before my schedule lets up to try it out.

due to the types of wood here i run a 24'' GB hard nose with a full skip semi chisel chain.
turn the oiler to max, stumping trees in my part is awful since some are in a creek/river bed they like to suck up all kinds of crap.

You aren't that far away you are more then welcome to come run whatever I have... Any I like my beer to look like oil ran 20,000 miles straight from an old diesel truck lol I really like the 620 with the 27" bar I might just leave it on there cause it pulls it just like it pulls the 20".... hard.
