I've always ran McCulloch Chain Saws, had a Homelite XL-76, made a few cuts with a 61 cc Stihl, but never fully operated a Stihl for longer than a few minutes.
Since my Back Injury, a few Guys here suggested to me, about getting a Stihl, because they are lighter than my McCulloch Chain Saws.
This I believe. My Pro Mac 60 weighs 15 LBS without the Bar, and has 60 CC's. My Pro Mac 700 is a bit heavier than the Pro Mac 60 by 3 to 5 pounds without the Bar, and has 70 CC's
I just checked on Mike Acres Site, and was thinking about a Stihl 044, or 440, and there was no weight listed with it.
Now if somebody here could fill in the Blanks for me in the weight, without a bar, I'd really appreciate it. I know where I can get a non running Stihl 044, and am thinking quite seriously about getting it, and see if I can make a good runner out of it.
Also if someone could inform me of a Stihl, that would be equal to my Pro Mac 60 for power, and if the could tell me of the weight of it also with out the Bar.
McCulloch and Stihl, are the Only Chain Saws I have any experience with, other than the Homelite XL-76. With McCulloch, I grew up around them, and with Stihl, I was a Factory Service Technician 7 years ago, with my Local C0-op.
(Presently, I'm only interested in Stihl for right now, Sorry to you other guys that have other Makes of Saws).
Thanks again for your input in this Matter. Bruce.
