Good Gawd, sap, you seem to have learned nary a lesson from your 3 day well deserved break.....
It might be time for you to consider keeping your totally uninformed mouth closed for a while.........
Consider this, you relative chainsaw neophyte......I run about 13 saws on a regular basis. Besides my small saws, which are mostly only muffler modded, all have been woods ported--uhh. except for my old 066 (which came w/ a dual port muffler) Now, sappy, power to weight, for a working pro, and, especially an arborist, IS a very very important consideration---and the 066 may well have the best ever....Also, according to Ken Dunn,a highly respected saw builder, now retired, the 066, in stock form, is one of the most advanced engine designs ever in a saw. Keep in mind that the saw was introduced in 1993...and the first versions were the highest powered....Since then, what advances have been made? Well, Dolmar has two outstanding new designs, one of them, the 7900, is also one of the most powerful stock saws ever, and a great pwr to weight ratio. The new 361 is also a great saw...Now, new EPA restrictions are wreaking havoc on new saw designs, seemignly creating heavier saws with no better performance, just less polluting. And Stihl seems to be having the most problems keeping their perfromance levels high.....Dolmar and Husky are doing a bit better, perhaps. Maybe, but the 575 and 455 Rancher both are dogs, from all reports I've heard.
All that said, you should know that, in recent years, overall, I've preferred Husky saws......
Whatever, they're all good, if they're pro saws.....As well, a consumer has more choices, as he can choose a good cheaper saw, as there are a few good ones, or a pro saw, if he desires.
Now, read this, and listen....you are becoming a major bore, and nuisance...your ranting and raving is no longer even worth reading for a good laugh....
maybe you should stick to the politlcal forums, there, you make some valid, and well articulated points...
