Stihl ms 461 R vs. Makita ea 7900 p Bone Stockers

Рет қаралды 51,697

5 жыл бұрын

I had started both of these saws previously to get them warmed up a little. Not sure why the 7900 was such a bear to restart....
The 461 had a little bit tougher go in the knots with the first runs being equal but the 7900 being way low tuning wise. Knots can easily cost a second or two.
In the second runs, the 461 was still dealing with a pretty good knot contingency where the Makita was not and came in a couple of seconds quicker.
The spring mounts in the Makita have it pulsating a little bit more with an aggressive chain I noticed as well.
I had run these two in another head to head were the knots were not a factor and the times were just about exact. The 461s come rebroke in where the Makita/Dolmar saws do not. This 461 has about a tank on it while the Makita has only burnt a few oz. That would be a testimony to the Makita....
Published numbers: Stihl 461 is 6.0 hp. Makita 5.75 hp.
They seem pretty close to the same to me.
I am currently available for custom saw modifications. Please shoot me an email if you are interested.

Since it is rev-limited (pretty low, but a big saw), and you went to the stop on the carb, and then backed out just a little, after porting/muffler, and coil, it will need a lot more fuel. I know you sometimes actually open up the carb a little. But, for a "regular guy" with just a muffler and coil, or maybe just a muffler, and leave the rpm's low, is that carb ok, or is it goof, and you need to replace it with an older Dolmar one?

@hotsaws101 2 жыл бұрын

Blanko hi. Belated, sorry. It will depend upon your chains - specifically how they are set up and therefore cut. In a stock saw the "new & improved" super low limited coil might not be a hindrance. You will have to ascertain that part. I guess that if it is not acceptable, then an older coil might be in store. Regarding fuel mileage, stock saws are whoa-fully fuel inefficient. I get about the same amount of run time in my zipped saws as what the stocker yield. Get a lot more done also Might be my chains there... Thanks for watching.

@hotsaws101 5 жыл бұрын

Rick hi. Higher to what reading exactly? Which tach? What elevation? The 7910 Dolmar/7900 Makita is supposed to have the 12.5K limited coil. But, since anything in this world can happen, if you purchased one of the super early ones it is possible that one of the earlier version 13.8K coils made its way on to your saw. This is ~ 3900' in elevation. The lack of air plays a part. The coils are listed at 12.5 for the miss by the factory literature. Doesn't surprise me that ~ 12.250 is the limit here since they varied in the 13.8K version also from ~ 13.3 to 13.8 from what I had seen. The flow in the slr tube is counter productive. Based on that, there would/must be a limit when considering it from a physics perspective. My guess from looking at one it's lower rather than higher. Thanks for watching.

The makita 79cc has been wonderful for me; powerful, runs a 28" oregon bar with a D76 chain 72 teeth 7/16" (3/8) with zero issues. It doesn't start up first time usually, but once I have it going its more consistent than any other saw I have. The pull cord needs a little working in to make it possible to start standing; they guy in the video is a BEAST for being able to pull it like that brand new after what I've experienced. A little more robust than the stihl 461 IMO; I'm personally not a fan of M-Tronic; I like the simple old school tech, and the makita is as close to a no frills, pro saw as I've found. Best stock teeth around. The tightening mechanism is flimsy so constant cleaning, and care is needed to keep saw at full function. I will saw the Stihl 194T is the best in tree saw for me; although the husqy and the makita battery make good backups. Also in case anyone is reading this I also have heard good things about echos for the price point

What does the saws maximum rpm matter when the actual cutting rpm is the same for both saws? It seems like you would want to tune the saw for best performance at the rpm at which the saw operates at. A good analogy would be holding your car engine at the rev limiter and claiming that it's a good way to test your engine's performance. Makes no sense. Irrelevant. Manufacturers implement a rev limiter for bone heads. When did it become a good idea to pin the throttle on a cold engine?? Quit grinding the rakes down so far..

@hotsaws101 4 жыл бұрын

Arthur - it is for reference and comparison - that both/all saws are running relatively the same. So that one saw doesn't have an unfair advantage because it running more on the pipe. Actually, it's not a good analogy. 4-cycle car engines are designed run operate at a wide variety of rpms - the majority of which are below 3000. Saws are designed to run with "your foot on the fire wall at all times". Or, wide open throttle. Especially the newer Stihl® saws. Also, running at their best requires modification to happen. Stockers operate ~ 8/10,000 depending upon elevation, weather conditions, operator input, etc. Ummm, both were well warmed up RIGHT before the filming started. I use saws in my "day job" that rip and actually need a chain with the stops taken down a long ways. This is one of those chains. What you see here is a chain set up for a saw with power, which will then also tell you something about what happens when a stock saw gets ahold of it, and then struggles to pull it...

George hi. I've never cold seized a saw. I've owned and wore out a lot of different "nuker" saws over the years. Sitting in the SUV, heater on high, until just before. I've started them up at some point before the record button is pushed also. The end of the lower tine is in a different location on all saws. That is, elevation (distance from the teeth vertically) and distance from the drive side case. This means the leverage aspect is also different on all saws. So with any particular chain set up, one saw might be perfectly suited and another marginally suited at best... Talk about an unfair advantage and/or bad comparison. Dawgs in is it. You might consider getting yourself some top tier mix oil. That also helps. Once a guy gets properly educated, things become more clear. I am thankful you watched. Sure wish the assumptions were dealt with in ? form though.

@@hotsaws101 Hi and thanks for kind reply. ☺️ You obviously are more knowledgeable on the subject, and have an advantage on me with the tech side of things! I’ve done a fair bit of cutting in my day, so to speak. Thanks for the clarification and please accept my apology for just assuming things I did not know. Dummy me just read where you said you had started them previously! Idiot here! Including that info below the video does help. You are correct, and I am guilty of not phrasing or posting my comment like I should have! That’s on me! One of my saws is a 45 cc Husqvarna that I’ve had since new, circa 2005/2006? Still running, and nothing other than regular maintenance has been done on it. I always use good oil, and ethanol free gas, but recently have been using Pre Mix with great results! I will change it to a ‘like,’ and I will give you a Subscribe! Hope that helps you and no hard feelings? Stay safe and Healthy! 👍👍👍😁✌🏻

That was purposeful. I addressed this very point, a long time ago in a response to Mr. Dombroski. Thanks for watching.

if you still have limiters on , your too lean, take them off.bottom the main screw and turn out 2 1/2 turns to start with. then power test unit. lean out carb to get max rpms and then richen it up to get a 400 rpm drop in rpm. I would not waist to much time on that carb. we had many that were bad from Germany. they were run with crappy fuel in Germany and some fuel stayed in system and it went bad while in storage , which could be a year. most of the replacement carbs are not anti pollution units. were you smart enough to check your final filter on the bottom of the carb. try a CARLTON A-1 3/8 ,050. full chisel chain and use the Carlton raker gauge to set rakers. what am I waisting my time on you for, your aren't smart enough to take good advice. the woods is going to get you.

Chris - The title has "Bone Stockers" right in it. So if you alter, well anything, then it's not an accurate representation of what you get in two saws fresh of the self, which these two were - and the Bone Stockers concept. The brush stroke idea of "just do this" with the needle/s is a complete fallacy. It is ~ 4000' in elevation. If anything, the "Bone Stockers" have a tendency run to rich at this height. Again, the chain was one of my felling chains used on modded saws. I'm pretty sure that this chain is the one used when my 044 SMOKED a stock 660. So, it is the lack of power in the stock saws. I think that the idiot figure pointing is interesting. I think that for what was shown here, maybe looking in the mirror might just be the place to start....

What an idiot. Jack probably has forgotten more than you know. Sound like a keyboard commando. And judging from your pic , you probably get your exercise getting out of your easy chair. Way to go jack for your calm response. Better than I could. Your videos are awsome by the way
