Filmed right after July 4th, 2020.
Both saws are bone stock. A few new “rubber” components like carb kit, tank vent, oil line, etc. installed on the 2100 as they were most likely original and deteriorated badly.
This the same 2100 seen the previous video on the Hotsaws101 channel -
‘Ol Skool 2100 CD, ‘Ol Skool Axe Trick. It’s 2021!
I reviewed my stash of IPLs. Seems like the 2100 model was introduced in 1978. It’s hard to remember that far back….
Based on the Husqvarna 1100 which came in at 6.2 factor rated HP as far as I know.
Adding to the video dialog and furthering the setting the record straight(er), this 2100CD is a 1984 vintage mo-chine that was used very little. It suffers greatly from the “govenator” (governor) that came on the later saws to keep the rpms limited before the “fancy” coils could do the job. We see it struggling to run above 10,000 rpms but we also watch it only give up 600 rpms in the cut going down. The 2100s suffer from a much smaller venturi in the carburetor than either the 394 or 395. They have a much smaller muffler volume as well as a more restricted internal design.
Under pressure, that is as equal as a man can apply, we watched the 2100 and 395 run virtually the same times going down. Coming up we watched the 395 post a faster time but with EXPONENTIALLY less pressure on the handle bar & pistol grip from the altitude of the test log. As seen in the 2100 coming up, I had the log leveraged on its’ heals quite impressively. The 2100 only dropped 840 rpms. Again, a torque machine the 2100s are.
Stops. Well, down 100 miles ranging from .104 to .114 and reiterating, I take the rakers down free hand.
IMHO the 2100 had the worst of the knots as well.
The HP rating on the 395XP dialog was cut off. Current “factory” number on the website is 6.6HP. Down from the 7.1 of before. Thinking there was a typo issue along the way somewhere…
21.6 pounds for the 395.
23.6 pounds for the 2100.
Just for kicks - the 084 weighs 24 pounds fully fueled. But the design process started on those ~ 10 years later than the 1100 which is the base platform for the 2100. The 2100 is much more compact and maneuverable for the "flick-a-bility" aspect I talk about occasionally. So it's better for limbing and just getting around on steep ground or brushy ground, or both.
Timed runs as follows:
395XP @ 12,480 wot went 8.87 down at 9,840, 8.30 up at 9,420, and 8.40 up at 9720
2100CD @ 9,720 wot went 8.77 down at 9,120 and 9.34 up at 8,880
We will be viewing several more videos of saw-offs with this 2100 running against the “little brother 395”.
I’m currently available for custom saw modifications. Please shoot me an email if you are interested.
