Let it be known im a stihl guy, but i do want other brands, would love to own husqys and dolmars and jonsreds, just havent found them yet. While at a farm store with the girlfriend and her family, i somehow convinved the woman i needed to go look at saws, they sell husqvarna and echo. Knowing nothing about the brands i went and fouund the biggest saws they had, the husqy was the first up, found the biggest, with a 20 inch bar, hefted it and thought man this thing must be something, and then i saw the tag that said it was only 60cc.. then went to the echo and picked it up, 20 inch bar, and man it felt good, but at sub 60 cc. Now, I know that my stihls are regarded as heavy for the displacement, but when my o46 with a 28 inch bar feels LIGHT compared to a 60cc husqy? what gives? matbe light isnt the word but i know the heft of my 046 means ccs. The heft of the husqy just felt like pure weight, I was kind of off put by the weight to cc ratio of the husqy and echo. i know im comparing different brands, different grades, and 2 decades worth of age difference, but really? I know heavy. My big wood saw is an old 750 homelite with a 3 foot bar. Any one else think the same?
