I don’t cut much wood and only do small clean up jobs. All I care about is that is starts and cuts wood EVERYTIME I need it to. My echo 4910 has never let me down yet. Before my 35cc Stihl has never not started either
Love the 61’s made my firewood cutting volume double …14 to 16 we were cutting everything we could… bought the old F100 to deliver… 16 started logging in the summer’s with it with my uncle jack! I want to find an restore a white top at some point… the white tops hold a special place in my heart! RIP Capt. Jack!!! ❤️🇺🇸💪. I’ll definitely grab a 4000 if I ever come across one…I need to move on the mint farmsaw but it’s been busy busy with work! 😳… steals saw play time!
Both of those saws are champs!!!!! Very tight race there. The 61 is a great all around saw, had one and I regret selling it. The sound of the Poulan just makes me smile. I really enjoy cutting with that series of poulan. More fun than anything, they ain’t winning races, but they are fun to play with.
It’s really funny…after 12-13 years of porting practice I’ve learned how to speed them up…these past two years I’ve started playing with the old saw’s again and I’m not really caring about the cutting speed so much anymore as I’m thinking about their sound! Ran a couple old Homelite’s getting them tuned decently and cut some wood… grabbed my ported g372 and it’s so much faster through the cut but it’s also twice as loud it seems! The older slightly lower tone…slightly lower rpm saw’s are making my ears really start to appreciate chunking up some 16’s …I don’t really need to do super fast production 24-7… it’s enjoyable to spend some time running saw’s and cutting…I’m learning to slow down and look around a little bit @53… it’s more about enjoying what you’re doing I’m thinking????
I acquired one Husqvarna 61ff a few months back. I got it as non operational/for parts, but as far as I can tell, only the muffler is missing, and the chain brake (the clutch cover is there, the brake spring is missing). If this is such a runner, I might spend a few days to put it together. The plate says made in Yugoslavia.
...I always wondered why ALL the Poulan saws seemed to be open port?..(not talking about the Partner/J-Red derived saws or the Pioneer derived saws-all of which kick *ss)..if they had done some well-done closed port cylinders, the rest of the saws might have been just fine...
👍the 4000 cylinders are kind of rare. Maybe pick up a 3700 cylinder and piston to experiment. Chrome cylinder on those as well as the 4000. I always thought that odd I take on them was designed originally for a reed configuration and they changed their mind!
The poulans were probably designed to run slower because they were trying to meet some internally designated longevity quality test. That's how design engineers work, pass whatever testing is required. There probably was a minimum speed, rpm, requirement along with a longevity test.
I really really want to get a 4200!!!!!! The more I look at them the more I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on one. Great looking and sounding saws. 😁😁👍👍
@@novicelumberjack I’m glad that I A, didn’t get on your nerves and B, you got a kick out of it! It IS good to see you around and still KICKING!!! Kicken like that proverbial Chicken. Hey, it rhymes!

Best all around saw I ever had was 61. I've had a bunch through the years!
That's Awesome! Thanks Boedy! I appreciate you Brother! I can't wait to get my 266SE going with the big bore kit!😉❤❤
Both saws are winners in my book

My 4000 and 61 are really close in small wood but in big wood the 4000 eats the 61. Just my own experience with them. Great vids really good quality.

It would be nice to see them cutting the same grain direction lol

Ahh! The good old days when things were simply simple, 👍s🔼 Big Guy!

Safety sally had a heart attack watching this video 🤣

He didn’t wave at his momma. Yeah that’s new haha 👍
Like both these saws
😂. Grant doesn’t let anyone even touch that hotsaw. I tried last year
Port the 60cc wemars!!
No brotha big fan man I been on ya about puttting that donate button on there and I’m putting your name out on some other channels
IF you run that “bike saw” then take AND WEAR some chaps or some other type of cut protection, because we LIKE to see you here!
I'm more impressed by the poulan only being 55c
Did I miss speak somewhere? They claimed it was 65cc, but in reality it was 63.5cc. So it's actually bigger than the Husky.
Boedy, we’re just used to seeing our “regular” channels every day. I apologize for getting on your nerves.
You didn't get on my nerves. I got a kick out of it!

Poulan should have fired their muffler designer, just sayin.
And I have sent you an email
