Mid sized saw comparison FYI

[musch]

I put this table together to try and get some idea of how different saws compare to one another across different brands.
In order of ccs and BHP

Brand           Model          Weight          CCs          HP

Husqvarna          570             14.9          67.9          4.9

Stihl              440             13.9          70.7          5.4

Husqvarna          372xpw          13.4          75            5.4

Stihl              460             14.6          76.5           6

Dolmar             7900            13.6          79            6.3

Husqvarna          385xp           15.4          84.7          6.3

Sources are manufacturer websites. I am aware that some weights are not totally accurate, all are powerhead only.

Swap out the 570 with a 575 and you're set.

Nice work.

Doesnt the Dolmar 7300 fall in there with 5.7 hp at the same weight as the 7900?

Might add the MSRP

If you would add the MSRP to the list it would really be something to look at aye?

 

[musch]

I tried that, but MSRP doesn't really reflect real world. My chart has the best prices I have found so far.
On paper, the Dolmar is hands down the best deal around.
Almost the lightest, and also the most powerful.
Middle of the road price for power.
If it is close in reality, thats gonna be my choice.
