I'm a husky man through and through, I run a stihl ms461 for my firewood and we run 2 7910 makitas at work. If I could only choose one, it'd be the makita all day long. Extremely underated saw.

I have an 066 with a top end Hyway rebuild. Ran just about the same as yours for 3 years, Then she quit on me. Washed it up stripped it down, replaced crank seals, all hoses, Meteor top end and carb rebuild. The saw is amazing now bits wood like a Badger. I guess when your girl is not the same, take her to town and have a professional do a make over - you'll be pleased.

I've owned two Stihl and a second hand Hasky, they're good but the Makita is more reliable and very well made.

Nice saws especially the 461 I have one with the dual port muffler cover and large bucking spikes.

I can barely cut a loaf of bread in equal slices, and here you are chainsawing wood into pretty much very equal parts :-) Well done !!! :-)

3 sweet running saws. Nice!

Everyone should have one or two of each :).

They looked pretty even to me.

you can sometimes find these Dolmars being sold by Home Depot tool rental in pretty good shape for around 200-300 bucks

Just saw a Makita 7900 at a pawn shop today. Might have to bring it home.

I couldn't tell a lot of difference in them, it did seem the first to cut better though. A lot has to do if they were all new chains and what kind of chain

Was that the 461 at the end it seemed to stumble a little didn't like being pushed into the wood other 2 didn't care. Thanks as always great short to the point video

All very powerful saws. Which one is most reliable? Which one will produce most hours?

I work as a tree cutter or a logger, and currently I am using the 660 stihl, and it's a fair bit faster than this one that you are using.

Got a question man, about too buy the Farm boss from Stihl or the similar Farm saw from makita. Which company would you go for over all. Big difference in price but if it’s worth it is what I’m asking you. Makita or stihl thanks man

Makita is winner

[660 Hyway]Is that regular/flat-top, or the pop-up, variety? Did you happen to notice if 56mm Hyway comb.chambers are under-sized like most/all other 56mm 660 jugs? Farmertec's 56mm's are smaller-than regular 54mm chambers, the NewJ's 56mm chambers are still smaller than a 54mm but barely... LOVE this, of course, but saddened that most are unaware and falsely conclude "no way I can get decent compression, cuz they're already near-freeport ergo no real changes to squish-or-compression" but reality is you can, of course, achieve both (took me 3 jugs, lol, so am glad that I only went w/ Hyway for my 1st, though that was a 54mm and was/is-still a pop-up setup that's thumping strong today) Re the knots...no, not even long time botany dorks put together the old-branch//knot correlation as cleanly as you imply it (are knots almost exclusively from branch collar unions? WTH I literally read all relevant ISA chapters on that this past year, lol, how on earth is there no mention of that...maybe it's mentioned somewhere I didn't catch, most/all insight on that was Re compression&tension in wood) And yeah they make test-cut reliability go out the window, I had been using cut-speed as an at-home measurement, just for my own insight (knowing I can't share the info because it's too-far from accurate), and found it to be unreliable even for that, the chain/wood/seasonal-hydrology lol I could name a dozen factors, all throw it off...I gave up, but certainly commend/respect you for doing such testing here, really would love to get my hands on a 7900 but can't fathom a scenario of that happening, zero use/reason for it... A+ / subscribed!

i just ordered a Makita EA7900PRFE

It seems like the 461 out cuts both saws.

Obviously all them chains had a dif grind

it's a shame makita is killng off the mighty dolmar power saws. highest class saws on the market.
