Brad, get to work! You have 45 tanks worth of wood to cut before you can do a comparison for us.
*snaps fingers* Chop chop Brad!!
LOL. And I thought I was already busy!

I see you got your hands on another 361 quick. And brand new too? Another port job?
MWC,Now that is the kind of contest it takes balls to get into! Pardon the pun! LMAO
:agree2:I have the 359 and my brother has the 361.Before I had mine ported we did some cuts and I kept up with him but I had full comp and he was running safety chain both 16" bars.Mine kicks his butt now thanks to Brad.I'm sorry, but I can't see a 359 being 20%-30% faster than a 361. The time differences are too big to be believable.
You need to have both saws tuned by the same person right before the test. Then you MUST use the same chain. I also recommend that you make cuts with both light, normal, and heavy loads. The wood must be consistent in diameter and in the same log. The operator must not use the spikes to lever the saw through the cut. A video will be a must as well. You can't just throw numbers on the board like this and expect people to believe it.

I think you need at least 15 tanks on most of those (not the 360) before doing a serious comparison!
I called Brad out before on that, when he tested the little 401 Dolmar.....I think he had like a tank and a half through it and claimed it was as broke in as it was going to get.....My 401 definitely started to come around after 8-10 tanks and really came to life after the muffler mod!
Oh well....Back to the original argument....opcorn:
Like was stated before, unless you use a robot, no test is perfect. I am sorry that I insulted so many people by having a Husky beat a Stihl TWICE, but I also stated that I have no preference as I like them both. The chains WILL NOT INTERCHANGE AS THE GAUGE IS DIFFERENT as most of the EXPERTS should already know. The chains were the same pitch, age and make.
I apologize for having so few posts and assuming that my opinion and personal results may be interesting to someone else. This was by no means a scientific test, but just personal results and I stated it as such.
It would be pretty rediculous to have to change the way I cut a tree just so that one saw would perform better than another-INCREDIBLE! If that has to happen, then I guess that the one saw is just going to be lacking the flexibility to fit my STYLE. I do not run race saws and so I couldn't give a rat's azz about my STYLE. Every tree that I have cut has hit the ground-SIMPLY AMAZING!! The Stihl and the Husky have both cut through every tree that I wanted them to-SIMPLY AMAZING!
I will not bother anyone with more of my trivial, highly biased results again as I do not want someone to have heart failure because one saw beat another.
I will leave the tests to all the self-proclaimed experts since this forum obviously is not for the ignorant uninformed like myself.
You know, I don't get the impression that the fuss was about a Husky beating a Stihl. It was and is a question of adequate procedure to perform a meaningful test. You have to eliminate variables in order to have a scientific result. That's what most people have been pointing out as being flawed. Accurate data is the only way to scientifically compare the performance of two similar machines. Don't take it so personally. We are criticizing a testing procedure, not attacking you personally.

Pete,
You're right. The Dolmar 6400 has 4.8 HP. But, you knew that. Right?
ole joat
I knew that but didn't take it into account because of the weight. One could put it like this: The only 60cc chainsaw with true 4,9hp is the all mighty 262XP.
262XP: 3,6kW/4,9HP; 5,8kg powerhead. Source: KWF
PS6400: 3,5kW/4,8HP; 6,4kg powerhead. Source: KWF
The power difference might be negligable, but who wants to carry around the weight of a 7900 for 0,1hp less ?
OK, now you Stihlheads can continue to come up with excuses why your cure cancer saw got beaten by a Husky occasional user saw Here is a hint for you: - Maybe it had a ChiCom jug in it ?!
