The power figures seem to be down on both saws compared to manufacturer's quoted figures

Here is the
Dolmar 6100 test from the same independent testing company.

This definitely puts the Cat amongst the Pigeons.
Especially the torque figures!

Stihl wins the Peak horsepower.
.
Dolmar wins the torque, and far behind the Stihl peak horsepower.
.
Husqvarna down on power and torque compared to the other's . This is a BIG surprise. I was planning on buying a 562xp

You cut off the vibration data for the Dolmar.

This test definitely goes along with everything I have been hearing about the 6100!

 

[Matt Hogden]

I think i have the vibration info of the Dolmar. I shall try and find it for you

I am disappointed. I thought for sure these figures would have started a full on brawl!

Just post a pm from someone that threatening to fight you over the specs

Then again, specs do not always translate to real-world performance. Stihl, I'm happy
the 362 seemingly "got it's act together"

Mate the test results are from an independent German company. I am really surprised that the Husky didnt wipe the competition out!. It seriously has made me rethink my next purchased.
Plus,
The Stihl and Dolmar seem to be easier to hot up!

I'm assuming the test was with the newest version of 362, right?

 

[Matt Hogden]

Not sure to be honest. Is there a difference?
I don't know much about stihl

Clutch cover
& perhaps a bit lighter. I thought there was a thread awhile back on the 362 changes
