new to forum with a can full of worms

should have specified better. Already using Jreds for roof saws. Looking for another wildland felling and bucking saw. NJ I'm in Wheatland the fire you went to when you flew into Casper I'm guessing was the Hensel fire south of Esterbrook at that time I was on one to the south "Notch Peak" doing structure protection. My department catches a bit of everything but our bread and butter is crash rescue. Run about 200-300 calls per year.

.

That Jred.. is it the 2171? If so, try it with a regular chain. You might like it.

His unit probably has the 670s, like my local fire dept. has.

 

[WRW]

Yeah, they come in both configurations. That's why I asked.

Independent test results

............................someone asked why compare the 372 to the 460 I wuld say power per weight rather than power per cube. I have been seeing on this forum people saying the 460 weighs more than a 372 but if you look in the factory specs it's just the oposite.

Some test results from DLG:
H.372xp; 3.9 kw/9500 rpm - 4.1 nm/7300 rpm - 6.4 kg
J.2171; 3.9 kw/9600 rpm - 4.2 nm/7000 rpm - 6.4 kg
MS440; 4.0 kw/9500 rpm - 4.4 nm/7000 rpm - 6.2 kg
MS460; 4.4 kw/9500 rpm - 5.4 nm/6750 rpm - 6.5 kg
7300; 4.4 kw/9500 rpm - 4.9 nm/6500 rpm - 6.4 kg
7900; 4.7 kw/9500 rpm - 5.1 nm/7200 rpm - 6.4 kg
