McCulloch Super Pro 60 Horsepower rating

[Bubster]

It seems McCulloch has never advertised the hp ratings on any of their saws.I have often wondered what my old SP 60 is rated at.My guess would be close to 4.5 .Anyone have an exact number or a really close guess?

Thats a close guesstimate, if you look at a MS361 it rated between 4.4 and 4.6 ,but I think the torque numbers would be different. The attraction of the McCulloch saws are the torque, they usually don't have trouble pulling a longer bar for their cc or swapping the rim sprocket to an 8 pin with a standard size bar.
Even if you dyno that saw and it shows 3hp the torque is whats gonna get that long bar through the cut with you leaning on it.

I have seen a few guys running 24" and even 28" bars on the 10-10.Not bad at all for a 54-56 cc saw.My old SP 60 is semi-retired ,man that thing is loud.But I get her out and play a few times a year.

You are right. I need to put one in my truck tool box. The 028 goes there. I need 5 saws to cover all the bases. Maybe not 90cc. I am 63 years old and only 5’7”. How about a 70cc saw.

I remember that I want a survival saw to keep in my camper, it is not my saw that I would use to cut wood in the countryside

I have used almost a gallon in the last few weeks of mix.

really close guess?

IIRC a PM700 was advertised at either 3.4 or 3.7 hp. It will pull a 28” bar with some authority in oak. I have a well running 036Pro and a ported MS361 - they are challenged with a 25” bar. Same for the two MS362 that I used to own. The MS 362 seemed to have more torque than their earlier cousins.

Memory was wrong; PM700 was advertised as 4.7hp or 3.5kw. PM655 (61cc) as 4.2,hp or 3.1 kw, 1010S and PM645 (57cc) as 3.4 hp or 2.5.kw,
