in a competition which one would you choose? A guy i know uses a 750 in the big saw class and so far he is the king of that class. Today one guy brought a stihl 066 magnum to try to beat the 750 but he went home with his tail between his legs. I'm so tired of this guy winning in our competitions alot of people has stop coming. I hold my on in the 60-85cc class with a sxl-925 but in the 85-125cc class i fall short. I'm hoping the 1050 will get the job done. He has already bet my 7-29 and my 750. In some cases we get the losers saw. I've lost 3 to this.

I love my 1050, but I wouldn't put it up against a 750.

A 2100 might give a 750 a good run for its money, but don't think a 1050 could muster up. Thing is a good 2100 is about as hard or even harder to find as a good 750.

it wouldn't hurt to try the 1050 against the 750. you never know what could happen. My dad has a super 1050 and it has alot of power it has a 42in bar on it. Is there much diff. in a 1050 and a 3100?

A 3100, even with a 2:1 gear setup, wouldn't stand a chance in a speed contest with a 750. Now if you're trying to use a 4 or 5 ft bar, it may start showing its prowess. Still, bringing a 3100 outa retirement is always a good thing to do!!!

the 3100 is one of my biggest saw in my homelite arsenal. I'd hate to go to another brand to beat the 750 but I'm running out of options. I stood by and watched the 750 take down a husky 3120. One guy showed up with a poulan 6000 but he wouldn't put his saw up for the prize. Can't say i blame him it was in great shape. I'm not mad about the 750 winning all the time but the guy don't even like homelites he's a stihl man always wearing stihl hats go figure.

you need to use your mcculloch super pro 125. just paint it red and put some homelite decals on it

From some of the opinions I've read, Homelite brought out the 750 as a competition saw. Do the races differentiate between gear drive and direct drive or just by cc's? What diameter logs do they use? I don' think a 2100 will win. Here's the issue with the 750: no load 11,000 to 12,000 RPM.

yes we do gear drive separate from direct drive but sometimes we race them against each other. We try to use hard wood but sometimes we can't get it so we use pine alot about 2-3ft diameter. The guy with the 750 came along when all we had is pine. I think if we could find some 3ft dia. oak the 750 could be beat. Every saw has its advantage depends on the size of the wood. I've run my 750s in big oak and to tell you the truth I think my super 1050 did better. Even my 540 with out cut my sxl-925 in 16in wood but when you sink the whole bar (36in) in a big piece of oak the sxl-925 makes the 540 look sick.Years ago i always thought the more ccs a saw had the better it was it didn't take me long to find that's not true that's before i listen to my dad about homelites.

The basic chainsaw power modifications are thinner cylinder to crankcase gasket, mill off .010 - .030 of bottom of cylinder, open up intake and exhaust ports, open up muffler outlet, drill carb high speed jet out, install larger venturi carb, alter timing a little, install electronic ignition,higher octane or racing fuel mix and oversize cylinder and piston Not so basic modification,add a super charger or blower, nitrous oxide, stroker crankshaft and nitro methane fuel mix with extra nitro
