That's a little tough. I didn't realize there was going to be a quiz.

The P62, a 385XP and of course, Mark's SP125.

Dont worry this quiz is only worth 95% of your final grade for the year.

I can't argue with your picks. I have run the 385 before and it reminds me of my 575XP being so smooth and all. The SP125 was awsome as well but I was expecting that.

I know we all took our turns running other each others saws and would like each of you to list 3 saws that left a good impression on you. I know its hard but only 3 that surprised you.

I would have to agree on Ed's P-62. That was an awesome machine!

I ran someones Partner 7000 that was a lot more saw than I ever thought it would be.
But I guess the one that surprised me the most, especially in light of all the negative press that I've read about them was some old Geezer's Husky 575!

That saw is as smooth as a Dolmar, pulled like an old Poulan and had a sound all its own.

The only reason I show up to GTG's is to run Mark's SP125.

 

[wendell]

And there was an orange and white saw (or was it creamsicle and cream) that wasn't too bad but I don't remember too much about it. :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[Arrowhead]

Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to run half the saws that were there. My how time flys when your having fun! A couple of the saws I wanted to... 372 and 441. They were there, and I'm sure the offer was there, I spent a lot of time BS'n though.

First was the old Poulans.... not sure of the models or the owners. ModMark, MoparMike and Ohiogreg had them. I ran a bunch of them. I was truly surprised by power, low vibs and well balanced.

True pulling power/torque went to Mark H. (help me out Mark) it was the gear drive Mac that you said you put a different gear in. That thing was un-stoppable! The SP125 was awesome as well. Chris's 750 was a freaking beast also! Bill Gs 090 was a treat!!

A few modern saws that I really liked were Seans 359. Wendells Kita (7900)... now I know what all the fuss is about! Super3 Mikes 262 was smoking fast.

Sorry Mark, I had to make 3 categories instead. It's kinda like drinking only 1 beer... lol

Yeah, I heard good things about it. I sure wish he would've let me run it.

I'm really glad you liked it. It really started coming into its own this weekend which was about its 5th-6th tank of fuel so I guess it does take about 5 to break them in.

 

[Andyshine77]

The stock 7900's are strong saws, as are the old Poulan's. I've always liked the 575 Husky.

 

[bowtechmadman]

Now why do you want to ask such a tough question. Afraid there were more than 3 that suprised / was really impressed with.
Ed's P62 what a saw
Nik's 361 (i'm not a lover of this saw in stock form) I was shocked how well it pulled a 28" bar, granted it's not stock by any means
3 way tie for 3rd, Mark's 5200, Mike's 3400 on pipe, Mikes little kita

 

[Wild Knight]

Paradigm changers for me:

Mike's 6400 smoking the 361

Chris's old beasts, more saw than I want to carry in the woods

All of Mark's old Macs, those were fun to run

lol, if I gotta lose, I'm glad it was to a Dolmar. (Although, I do want a rematch, and this time we'll pull the same size bar).
the saws that left the biggest impressions on me were Ed's infamous 2 (P62, WT) and your 441. I expected it to be a monster, but was still surprised.

 

[heimannm]

I generally know better than to run anyone elses saws since that would only mean I have to have even more...but Chris's 750 was a sweet one for sure.

Arrowhead - The gear drive McCulloch is my 1-85 with the 2:1 gear set. I got the saw off e-bay from Sawking, nobody else wanted it evidently since it was an older gear drive but the 1-85 engine is pretty close to the kart engines from what I have been told. It is "only" 95 cc but does pull pretty nicely.

It was there all day...:monkey:

 

[outdoorlivin247]

Hey Sean, I found the saw that was missing those parts - SP125. If you found both of them I'll take them. There may have been a screw in the mix as well. Check your PM for details.

Thanks,

Mark

I will have my brother run down there w/ his metal detector and try to find them...

 

[wendell]

I know. I was just teasing you. It was my own fault. I should've taken a little less video and run some more saws. I didn't even get to play with any of Chris' saws.

From talking to my mom last night, you should have done a little less working on saws...:dunno:...LOL...

 

[wendell]

Well, there was that, too.

Probably could've done a little less eating, too.

Actually, that would've been a mistake.

Which saw was giving you fits?...

There was still food left over...:spam:

 

[wendell]

The 7901's L was too high and was flooding out when I tried to restart it. Thanks to Andy, that is now resolved. And, then, I was trying to get the XL2 started after many years of sitting on the shelf.

You know how that turned out.
