SawTroll said:Well Jokers,
it is the same saw as the PS-7300, isn't it?
PS-7300 is adverticed at 4.2 kW/5.7 hp, and tested at 4.4 kW by DLG/KWF.
I know you don't like those tests, but anyway.... PS-7300
I believe I have read a couple of times that the lower rating sometime seen on the Makita colored saws were misprints......

I found out today my local Home Depot rents the Makita 6401 saws.Guess I'll have to try one out this week.

Whiteindustries said:Thanks ,
Already have a processor fund going.Even with most processors I will still need a couple of saws for ends etc...
Have been there done that with big wood over 25"++ not worth my time or effort, all logs processor grade approx 10"-20".
I am not one of these brand loyal guys, will listen to any and all advice and hopefully end up with a saw that is great for me.Just looking for the most bang for the buck, and if it happens to say Makita on it then oh well.lol Still something strange about a chainsaw with Makita on the side I must say.
I am leaning towards these saws from what I have read so far.Jonsered 2171,Husky 372,Stihl 440/460,Dolmar 7900/Makita 7901 they seem to fit what I am looking for power to weight ,a step above my last saw, Approx 1-1.5.hp more than I am using now.
Any idea what a good/fair price would be on the MS440 or MS460...The other brands are easy to research, Stihl does a good job at protecting their prices.

Whiteindustries,
I've got a sale on Dolmar 7900's and also just got in a Timberwolf TW-Pro MX Firewood Processor yesterday! We are about 4 Hours west of you near the VT/MA border.

I found some specs on the CS-6702, which I believe is the version sold in Europe, in a 2 year old printout from a UK site.SawTroll said:Echo is holding the cards real tight regarding power output, and not without reason, I think.
It also has only 67 cc, and statements I have read in earlier treads indicate substansially less power than a 372/2171 or 440.
Probably a bit more weight into the bargain.
The 6400/6401 should provide a .5 hp gain for about the same weigh, compared to the Jred 630.Whiteindustries said:It would be fun to run just to see how it does.I like trying different things just to see.

Fair enough!jokers said:The only reasons that I don`t like those tests is because #1 they don`t always test the exact models we get in North America and #2 I think that they have a distinct German product bias.

I forgot to add;SawTroll said:The 6400/6401 should provide a .5 hp gain for about the same weigh, compared to the Jred 630.
I think that size of saws was ruled out earlier in this tread.sawsome said:You might want to check out a JD-CS62/Efco 962 it's a little smaller than most of the saws mentioned here but the price and power to weight is very good, jmo.
