WHATS YOUR PICK FOR SAWS AROUND 100CC?

[Jon1212]

While they are 6 cube saws, I can add that the my Mac 795 and a 105 I have run do not have the speed or torque of my BP 655 with a 35" bar. I would guess this with a 1050 Homie as well.

I wonder how a 650 Super would compare?

TROOF, it is an impressive machine

I told my wife that we should take a cruise down to the Brazilian rainforest.
She called me out immediately for conspiring to plan a vacation around shipping cool saws back to myself in the states

Haha!!!! Mrs. Johnny5 is on to me the same!!!!!!

Thats a great question John. The Echo 1001 is has a reputation for being slow, though torque. The problem I see with those big 6 cube Mac's and Homies are that they also are way too heavy.

Wonder how a 1001 with an 8 pin in 3/8" would do?

I've ran Randys 650 super, and I was shocked how great that saw ran!

An impressive saw...on my list for sure now. Honestly it sounds a lot like a Jonsereds 111s.

On a side note...I'm not an expert but these big saws bring a lot of new dangers to the table. In the start of the video the guy is carrying the running saw around with one hand under the bar....and takes his hand of the wrap when in the cut. Once you have one of these monsters pinch and back out of the cut you'll realize how much respect they command.

It's Ok though, you got everyone else with the 29- 166s. [emoji38][emoji38]

On mine too, but I am as impressionable as play-do where big saws are concerned.. Still looks like a great milling saw, so can justify under "business expenses"

Don't think can get in oz, so will get a mate to see if he can get me one out of south Africa (if the distributor there can get them).

I'll get you a nice 153 in part payment if you can get a regular supply of these beauties

They are listed on the east African distributors web page, but not South Africa's.. Can but try..

Can't somebody cross the boarder and smuggle them in from mexico?

Someone has more 655's than me.
I only's have three.

I'm trying to be (to Poulan 655's) what you are to 166's. Might you be interested in a trade?

Yeah, I hear ya'.......

I decided to go take a gander at some saw weights, and Mike Acres has the 750(112cc's) listed at 23.1 lbs PHO, which I believe is about the same weight as the CS 1201.

That guy is me: I was babying that saw as it is not mine, and that was the first time it had seen wood.

Is that a normal practice?
No.

Was I trying to be super careful handling a strangers $2,000.00 saw? Yep.

My sorry Unc: I had the 143 on the brain.

Yes, all those 166s.

Phicksed, for the good of the community.

Nope, He had the count right.

NAAA, 3 655's is enough for now. Tryin to get the 30 mark on 166's.
But i've gotten a tad fussy and want clean ones.

Sure thing man, wasn't my intention to single anyone out by name. Just something to mention as there probably a few on here that don't have much, if any experience with a saw that size.

I've never run a saw the size of a CS 1201, but when I do, I'll be sure to not juggle it along with two other chainsaws.
