i was just using dad's 250. has 16"bar and new safety chain. why does his saw feel so much weaker than my 028 with 18"bar and safety chain. if i had to put a number to it, i'd say my 028 is 15 to 25% stronger.

both saws seem to run well.

also, does anyone know (off the top of their head) whether my old 18" bar will fit dad's saw?
 
I think the 250 45cc and the 028 is 50cc and less restion on the muffler your guess would be right on...
 
I'm blanking now, but i thought the 250 was 45 point something ccs and the 028 was 47, and that's why i figured they'd be closer in power.

The 250 is 45.4 cc's 3 hp 10#'s
The 280 is 54.7 cc's 3.6 hp 11.7#'s
 
i have the 028 WB just dbl checked specs over at arboristsite and the plain jane 028 AV / WB has the smallest bore and 47cc... I think the supers have the specs you posted....
