PP655 vs Stihl 075

[MS460WOODCHUCK]

Is there that much difference in the feel of power between the 075 and the PP655? I have owned a very good running 655 so I am familier with that power. I have a line on a decent 075 and was curious in the power difference.

ah, so 96cc vs 111cc...
I would've thought the 075 would have MUCH more torque. But only showing it's superiority in BIG wood. It prolly wouldn't be faster in smaller wood.

The poulan 655 will surprise ya. It laughs at a 36" bar in red oak.

PP655 is the best farkin' saw Poulan ever made.

An 075/076 will be heavier and a lot tourquier (is that a word? LMAO).

The 655 will hit the RPM's quicker.

Post a pic of that 655... they are an awesome saw. I'm currently on the hunt for one...

Too many people hear "Poulan" and immediately think of the crap they make nowadays. Back in the day... they made some kick a$$ saws!

I don't own it anymore. I sold it to my cousin a while back. You are correct on the old poulans most of them were 1 he!! of a saw! I am just curious about the stihl.

 

[GASoline71]

I ran an 076 with a 42" bar on it Back in the day as a landing rat, buckin' but ends off of old and second growth timber. It'll make a man out of ya in a hurry.

I sometimes think that half the problems I have with my shoulders, and elbows are because of that vibratin' montrosity of a saw. I was 17 at the time.

We all pretty much know this. Just like the pp505 is a partner. But I guess when u buy the other guy's out you can call it what u want. So what do you think should I stay away from the 075 for 350.00?:monkey:

 

[GASoline71]

I would buy an 075 in good shape for 350 bones...
