Couldnt wait to break them in so went ahead and see what they were right now in 11" dry ash.
Poulan 3450 54cc broke in.
Poulan 3450 type 3 3750 60cc 2nd cuts only, not broke in after rebuild.
Poulan 380 60cc half tank through it after rebuild. Not broke in.
Stihl 034 036 62cc broke in.
Just always wondered how they compared. The 036 felt stronger in the cuts.
Same way I felt about the 3750 compared to the 262. 262 felt stronger. But the open port 60cc saws are right there in the cuts too.
The 034 036 feels so much like the poulans to me. Handling etc. Didnt care for the 262 in that department.
036 muffler modded and cant remember about the base gasket in or out.
380 muffler modded, no base gasket and some port work.
3450 3750 60cc muffler mod and base gasket in.
3450 54cc all stock muffler untouched. HDA 137 carb
Same stihl rs chain on all 4 - 3/8 7
