Very nice! 288 lover through, and through
I'd put the 98cc Pioneer/Poulan-Pro saws (Pioneer P-60/61/62, Pioneer-Partner P-65, Poulan-Pro 655 & 655BP) just behind the 99cc Huskys and well ahead of the SD152/153, 056MII, and 066 if we're talking 'brute power' output. I'd put the 650 Homelite ahead of the 066 too (of course you might as well run a 750 as it's the same saw with more beans).
For low end 'grunt' the 100cc reed valve Homelites (1050, etc) and 103cc Macs (790/795/SP105) are ahead of all of these newer saws, and will really move chips with .404 on big bars (and the 114cc/123cc versions even more so). They don't have the high RPM's of those newer designs however.
I figured there was a stroke difference. Yeah so that is what i wondered then, same as the early huskies. Just governed by carb, and we know yep easy fix. My 2101 is 10,500. And bet it's close dogged in, I know what you mean, you and me talked about these ols warriors before, they just keep chuggin. RPM's don't really drop like u well know:msp_wink: What about kids at camp? Your kids/
Are the 153-166 able to achieve higher rpm than I think I saw listed 8,500? Were they just limited by carb governor like the early 1100-2100? Aaron I know I had not heard of Pioneer until maybe 6 years ago. Just not crossed my path or had much knowledge of em. But talked to some since that said they made some real horses partner too. One in the same right? Went from Canadian, to partner was Sweeden? I forget? One of those 6 cube pioneers was for sale on C-list you remember Im sure. Guy wanted 900 or a thousand. Never had seen that model. I wouldn't mind owning it. For milling then the dolmars have a longer stroke? Just wondering if they are stronger for milling, what would give them the edge? I would guess longer stroke.
Talking "brute power"
Hook them to a mill ripping some big hardwoods.
Although I have no experience with the big Partners, I can tell you the 6 cube SDs are ahead of the 6 cube Huskys. I have milled with several of both.
The Huskys have the nod on bucking since they carry a bit more speed and are lighter.
I like them both, but the SD is not lacking in grunt by any means. Your mileage may vary of course.
Sachs got it:msp_biggrin: Aaron yeah some of those Pioneer and poulan's catch my eye. My first intro to Pioneer, was when Jeanne's cousins husband, needed parts to put his saw back on the road. I told Donnie to bring it over. It was a p42 or p45 I forget. I was really impressed with the build and design. All he needed was a clutch, bearing and some other odds and ends. I was amazded how obsolete the parts were at the time. Thanks to Cloverdale they got me everything, and we put it together one day. It was so worth it to see the look on Donnies face, he was an ex timber faller who used them for years. That was maybe six years ago.
