Today a group of guys in our small town got together to cut some firewood for some older folks who need wood. Lots of standing dead ash around. There was a bunch of 60cc class saws which all the guys thought were "big" saws. I brought two creamsicle clones to the party. A 361 with big bore kit, gasket delete, advanced timing and gutted muffler. And a 660 with MMWS Cross cylinder, popup piston, gasket delete, advanced timing, max airflow air cleaner, gutted muffler and 8 tooth rim. Both run about 200psi compression. I guess you could call these J,C, Whitney saws. What can i just bolt on to go faster. Both saws wear 24 inch bars. We cut 4 trees, 2 were about 24 inches ABH and the others about 29. Couple of the guys were laughing at the chineese junk till i fired them and started cutting bucking. The 660 is just a brute, bury the bar in hard ash and just lean on it. I could cut 4 rounds to their 1. You could bury the bar on the 361 but had to be more careful to not lean to hard. Could still buck 3 rounds to their 1. To say the least they were impressed. One guy said he couldn't believe a 60cc saw could pull a 24" bar buried in ash. Of course i made numerous trips to the truck to fuel up. Most guys went through 1 tank of fuel. I went through over a gallon. Chainsaws are fun.
