Another chainsaw dyno...

[Bigmac]

I never said a 462 would match the power of a 572, but if you factor in the weight difference … each of these two saws has a different purpose.

Same could be said for the 572 vs 660 clone

 

[MustangMike]

Some assembly required... if you factor in labor it not quite the same. And the China kits are really inconsistent! Did that saw have a cross cylinder?

I got the saw and the Cross P+C through the group buy a while back, so that is my total cost with shipping. Yes, a lot of assembly required!

I'm just poking a little fun at those who bashed my saw and praise the other one, just to put things in perspective a bit!

Let’s see a stock 462 on the dyno. Apples to apples right? The ported one made 7.5 ish (correct me if I’m wrong please). Stock would be interesting to see.

Joes graph was about spot on with what I found when building that saw. About 22% gain from stock.

I’m curious what mine would do with my woods port (no machine work though). It was about even with a mastermind ported 461. Im not sending it up until I get a second one since it’s my primary saw to cut timber with now.

Would love to see some ported 562/572 numbers.

I got a healthy ported 572 that could be there in a few days.

Mike, please don't take this as a personal attack. Frankly, I'm impressed with your numbers from a box of Chinese parts. Also, I'm reluctant to post about this here because I really think this whole comparison thing is already taking up way too much space in this great thread.

BUT, here's what I keep seeing. When people compare the 572 to the 462, you say "but what about the WEIGHT go so far as to say the 572 performance should beat the 462 by the same margin it outweighs it by, 10.something%. Okay, fine. But then, when people compare a ported 70cc saw to your 660, you say, "but what about the PRICE?". It seems that you keep changing the metric by which you're comparing stuff. If you switched them around and said, the 462 should beat the 572 by the same margin by which it costs more, then it'd look a lot worse. Same with your 660 vs a ported 70cc; if you add weight into the equation, then your 660 hp numbers look a little different.

So, anyway, my point really is that there's a lot of factors to any of these comparisons. What makes one guy happy might not do so for another guy. I guess I think that the numbers speak for themselves. A statement about why you (or anyone) likes or dislikes a saw is great. Constantly comparing them with other saws by varying metrics isn't really that useful.

Also, thanks for the Dyno work Joe, I've had a great time reading this thread!

Love to see this the 572 is an eye opener.
@Red97

was this a saw with time on it or out of the box

Spot on

Every saw has an upside and a downside.

 

[CR888]

I've said for a while given the price difference between 70cc Stihl pro saws and others, the 572 is damn good value and a very decent saw. I'm sure Husky could have made it lighter and faster but I think they wanted to bring a tough reliable saw to the market that users could depend on.

 

[full chizel]

it’s OK to not have the biggest and best of everything......seriously.

 

[Agent Smith]

I agree 1000%. No matter what you do somebody somewhere will have something better and faster. For myself if i achieve a decent amount of gains from a saw i call it a win and enjoy using it

 

[Red97]

No it's not

That attitude won't sell dyno runs.

Hehe

Pretty sure I have at least 6 boxes enroute...

Dyno will be running....

I cut wood for 25 years with just 1 saw. Stihl 029. Performed flawlessly.
THEN..... I found this place. Then it all went to hell...lol
Now I'm broke...

I second this... I went 20+ years with one saw, a husky 51....then I found this place. But I’m recovering lol, I’m down to 12 total saws, 11 ported ones. I’ve been doing well until this thread, now this contraption of Joe’s and his hard work at testing tempt me to want some more saws!

We're going to have to start a Ported Saws Anonymous chapter. Lol

Exactly. Dollar for dollar and minus the weight factor you get a ported 572 for the price of a stock 462R. Lightweight don’t mean much to most of us. My small saw for a long time was a 660 and 395 with a 3120 as the big saw[emoji23]
