With all these trees down around here I am stepping up my timetable for getting a milling operation off the ground. So, I won't be able to afford a dedicated milling saw yet. However, I only plan to mill this southern yellow pine we have around here.
So with just milling softwood and never exceeding a 20" cut would my 460 be up to the job?
It is bone stock except for an aftermarket air filter. No muffler mod and the limiter caps are still in. 28" bar and Woodland Pro ripping chain.
After reading about the guy's 880 that grenaded while milling I am a little paranoid. I plan to run 42:1 mix. I've heard the muffler should be modded to reduce heat buildup. If I do that then I should probably pop the caps and richer up the carb. Even after all that will the 460 be enough to reliably cut 20" pine long term?
