OK, didn't see this coming

[Duce]

I don't pay attention to those things, they're both loud with the muffler opened up.. just like any other chainsaw.

WTH is wrong with you? You are talking common sense.

Sorry, I'm a party pooper when I interject reality.

With a 24" bar a 572,462,500 are so close only the cookie club will notice.

28 it shows up a little.

After that a 500 shows it's displacement advantage.

It's that simple.

I’ve actually never seen it compared to a smaller saw. I’ve seen the 500 run against or compared to the 660, 661, 390, 592, 585 much more than I’ve seen it running against smaller saws. People seem to think it’s magic but it’s really just another 79cc saw

I think the best thing to compare it to would be a Dolmar 7900. They are pretty much the same size and weight as the early 7900

Just looked on his channel and found the video below. Unsurprisingly saws of the same size cut about the same.

That’s been my take as well. It’s just a 79cc saw. Cuts like all the others

If you cut all day how much fuel will drink 500i and how much 572xp ?

 

[redline4]

Does the number of wood chips in the vicinity of the air filter affect the calculation of cuts per ounce as much as it factors into fatigue due to the added weight?
Does the number of cuts per ounce go up as the chain wears down due to less rotational weight?

That needs tested...

I don't know, I'm not a logger. I don't pay attention to that.

 

[Wood Doctor]

The psychology of owning a Stihl 500i is rather amazing. Some owners like to brag that they have enough bread to spend $1,500 or more for a 79cc chainsaw. It's a huge ego boost. I tend to be more practical.

 

[Sloughfoot]

500i envy is real.

 

[huskihl]

I bet the 572 burns less, being a strato charged engine. The 500i is not

Ain't it 10cc less too?

 

[Duce]

Ain't it 10cc less too?

Will they both cut same amount of wood?

 

[sawmikaze]

500i envy is real.

With the 572’s and 500’s I’ve had, just falling trees (no limbing) they used about the same amount. Limbing the 500 used more fuel.

Makes perfect sense

 

[James hetfield]

so a ported 81cc saw was slightly faster than a stock 79cc saw with a barkbox. isnt that exactly what was supposed to happen?

 

[Al Smith]

I've got a 281 but for some reason it won't start .Sat on the shelf too long evidently .That's what happens if you get so many saws you can't exercise them all .

 

[huskihl]

7 at least

Not exactly...

A 500i is a Demon Slayer from a far away galaxy that sounds a Ducati..or something like that
