I don't know Roger, I'm assuming the rings just took a good set. I didn't put new rings in it, as it was already really hard to pull over with high compression. I did flip the rings when put back on, and its the only thing I can figure was they took a set and like I said, it was really strange the way it just picked up power. That video is of the first cut or two and is not running as well as it is now.
Yeah we got good wood around here, I always feel sorry when I hear what guys in other places have to cut for wood heat. They also think there saws really cut better then I know they would around here too. We got some really hard wood here.
That piece I was cutting on was at the bottom of that pile and I had to ram it several times with the end of the forks on the tractor to get it pushed out from under it. That end of the fork only put maybe a 1/8" dent or so in the end of the log. LOL
