ms460 most powerful chainsaw ever made?

[lotsowood]

Thanks to all of the arboristsite members for lots of great information. I have just picked up my ms460 today. The saw has 76.5cc and 6.0hp, that is 12.75cc for every 1 hp. Is there any other saw made that has less cc's per hp, I have looked around but have not found one. comments??? no, I'm not stirring the pot, well maybe just a little.

Dolmar has been producing production chain saws since the 1920's. What do you consider name brand?

I thought a "name-brand" saw was one you could pickup at lowes, sears, or wal-mart. I wouldn't call Stihl a "name-brand" by any means. "Professional" or "Top of the Line" comes to mind :greenchainsaw:

Right, I meant the old pre-EPA model.

If a brand has less that 1% market share, would we still consider that a brand saw?

oh yeah, dolmar is way less than 1% here....

Yeah, but New Zealand has less than 1/10th of 1 percent of the market of saws. So, your opinion is worth about as much as a used diaper.
