I got the 6100 and made 2 cuts with it and didn’t like how it felt in my hands. If something was wrong with it when I traded it to you I didn’t know it but I’ll make it right. I don’t deal dishonestly. Sorry.
All is good, I did same as you and had it for a good while. If I had any issue I would’ve told ya. Had a good chuckle though.
I did find it’s a pain in the asss to get parts for them locally.

What I am finding fascinating and mind boggling at the same time is how dyno power and in-the-wood power don’t fully correlate.

I wonder if it’s peak TQ at rpm for chain speed that makes the difference, has to be.

You're not alone, im guessing the gearing effect and b&c combo will determine final drive. Like BHP vs WHP?

Similar to most other forms of motorsports. One extreme was the illustration of NightRogue a few weeks ago talking about how the big old Echo is his machine of choice for huge hard wood. It's a slow turner that doesn't generate the top HP as lots of many new bigger units, but the production is far greater due to factors like the ability for the chain to actually dig into the wood and pull a chip, whereas (hypothesis) a fast turning 660, etc. will make more hp, but can't pull a big chip at a velocity that the wood and chain can support (slow).

In many cases, a change in gearing (different sprocket size) can optimize the chain speed (or wheel speed) to allow the chips to pull accordingly will allow the horsepower to get the work done. In other cases that's not a practical option.

Now the actual power band of the engine potentially gives a better usability as the saw won't fall on its face if you hit a hard spot or if you stick a chain.

So many variables. It's cool to study.
