70cc vs 90cc saws

Ya know, I got a 365XT and a good ole' 365XP special in the shop right now.. Both stock saws with a Muff Mod...
Wanna bet which one cuts faster?
I should do a little test...

 

Probably the special

 

2252 = 545
2253 = 550xp
2258 = 555
2260 = 562xp

The 562xp takes the large bar mount, and the 2260 is small mount.

 

I have the 555 husky and it is one strong saw!! I mean its a mean 60cc saw. It has crazy torque.

I love that saw!

 

I've got a couple of AT saws myself.... a 2252 and a ported 562xp!

 

Mine is really my work saw. It sits in the truck waiting for a down tree so I can use it.

Ok every now n then I just go cut the but off a junk log or some cull logs just to use it

I need to bring it home and cut one day with it.

 

Did the OP ever go buy his damm saw yet???

 

Wait, what? Oh yeah that's me.

No, but I enjoyed playing with an Stihl 880 today at the Outdoors Show. I had no idea that an 880 powerhead was 6lb heavier than a 661 powerhead. There must be a lot more to an 880 than +1.6 hp. While I could see a strong guy handling a 461 or 661 with a medium length bars, the 880 is obviously only for long bars.

I'm still running my 372XP to good effect. When I first posted this I think it was a factor that my logs were frozen and slow to cut. Since then some tweaks to my sharpening method and thawed wood has my cutting moving at a better pace. I can't lie though I cheat often and earlier this week I considered buying a used 390XP for $400. It was a long enough trip to see it that someone else scooped it up.
