1 dude & the Kansas Bandit looses his mind.

Do you even do the other 11 months?

Lots of mention of saws above 81cc but what about the slightly under crowd like the 372XPW and 046/460/461? I’ve only run one stock 281 and I was impressed, I don’t feel my stock 288 had anything over it. That being said, my XPW will pull a 28” bar in hardwood just as good or better than my 288, but my XPW is ported and as mentioned my 288 is stock less the base gasket. I really want to try a 7900 but no one around here has one.

I think an interesting comparison would be 281 vs XPW vs 461 vs 7900

The 461 has more torque than the xpw and might edge out the xpw in timed cuts, especially with a long bar. Would be close. I need to get some more time on a 7910 series myself.

Pack up the competition and come visit - I've got the Dolmar's covered, stock with muffler mod only! :D

We'll drive around and look for firewood log piles.
There are plenty households here that switched from pre-processed wood to logs not having the equipment to deal with those, someone is bound to let us dismantle their log pile if we do it free of charge. ;)

But damn, the (my) PS-7300 feels really close.

I need more runtime on my recently muffler modded PS-7310 to get a gut feeling.

I have to agree that the 7900/7910 has that wow this saw is sweet feeling to it. Very smooth, fast, good torque, great handling and feel. The 461bhas alof of the same qualities but i feel like it lacks the smoothness that the dolmer has loads of. The huskys got the speed they are smooth lack the torque that dolmer just the engine size leavs it lacking in a direct comparison. This is my half assed opinion take it for what you will.

I just got a vintage Pioneer 3270SC that really shocked me just how well it runs, as far as saws go from this time period, and at 77cc, it had to be a top contender at that time, I have several other brands of saws from that time and approximate cc, VERY confident that the 3270 would rip all of them, hell for that matter, some of the newer saws as well.....s-l1600 (296).jpg s-l1600 (298).jpg

All this talk about 7910’s ...

What would the populace prefer? A 044/6 Hybrid or a 7910?

I haven't had a xpw but I have had both the oe and x torque 372's and both were mastermind worksaws and both ran really well my favorite of the two was the oe for sure though, it was faster and more responsive running between the two. Im not sure how much stronger an xpw could be but I wouldn't bet on any of the 372 huskies over a 461 once the bars start getting much over 20" and I am a husky fan. Those 461's don't play around! In the timed cut I watched in a video that mastermind did they were I believe running 28" bars in oak and the 461 was just as fast as my 665/7910 solo
