i would almost bet that the saw i am sending jasha to do will be the only saw that gets put to work the day after it gets back. cutting cookies for fun is what i do after the saw has made my living.

My 372's were/are designed for fallers. They run them for a year and buy a new one, the year-old becomes a back-up, the two year-old is sold to someone bucking on a landing or becomes spare parts. They were modded specifically to be able to pull a 34" bar in our big wood and be reliable. The costs of the mods are paid for in one day, the faller puts more wood down and doesn't have sore shoulders and back after a shift. Put an 8-pin on it and cut cookies if you like though, the saw won't care. Cheers.
 
simon it sounds like your building my kind of saw.i used to sling a 660 all day and laugh about it but now i reach for the lightest saw i have that will get the job done. if your modding your saws for a years work then replace than hopefully your squeezing them for all they got. thats the way i build my saws. i tend to go hotter than others for a work saw as i tend to replace them when they start to show signs of wear. no that they are wore out by any means ,i just move them before they lose any real value.somebody cutting firewood or part time logging would never need another saw.

since were building a saw that has a ready made factory big bore that looks just like the standard 50mm cylinder i have decided that in order to keep everyone absolutely honest that the top 3 saws will be checked for displacement. i will pull the plug and muffler in order to measure the bore. so guys play fair. or youll be outed for cheating to the as community

If I send a saw, how will anyboby know that I'm not cheating if I win? Will the saw be pulled apart to make sure I didn't BB?
And how about chain? Will it be brand new off the reel? Hope I'm not first on the roster. The chain should be broken in and filed at least one time. Going backwards, I'd like to run my KD 362 in the class, but it's a small mount so that won't work with B&C. I have an FMC 372 here too, but he's a cull so I wont enter it. Lol.
I bet my EHP 359 would place though.
Speaking of Ken Dunn, I talked with him tonight and told him about the throw down, but alas he's not been workin on saws lately and thought that Mike Rupely should show us his stuff.
Anyway, we still have lots of time and maybe I'll send a saw if it's ok that I send my 362.
Maybe Tommy Fales will get wind of the 'cull fest' and send one of his saws, but I doubt it.
I'm just chirping away, but I 'd make sure your saw is well briken in before you send it.
Should we take bets? I'd say it would be a toss up between Treeslinger and Simon. 50$ on Simon.

Am I the ONLY one that finds it ODD that GUYS that KNOW how to build a saw, are sending it off to others?? :confused::dunno: :msp_rolleyes:

Terry, why would you send a saw to Jasha, and then, in turn build a saw for BCC?? I'm assuming your getting the Sling'r'd saw back?

I'd enter, but I wouldn't be competitive without the option/access to a lathe. :cry: So, there it is.

I would like to see us put a little peer pressure on my good friend Andyshine77. He's more than capable of building a good runner. He has the saw. All he'd need is another stock topend to start with. Pile it on guys:)

I think Builder A being willing to let Builder B do a saw for him, while Builder A builds a saw for someone else adds an element of fairness & trust.

With all things being equal, I don't care where my 2171 places in the cutting contests. I'll trust the builders and the fellows running the saws to know a saw modded for work from a saw modded for racing, and to evaluate the saws fairly, regardless of who built the saw. Let the chips fly, and fall where they will.

You make a valid point. Maybe they want to see how other builders "Get-R-Done". I don't know.

You don't need a popup to build a fast saw. I'd love to see a lot more of you guys build saws. Only one guy's going to have the fastest saw, so most of us are going to lose anyway. Build a saw and have fun with it:clap:

I personally dont like em. Its not uncommon to see worn out jalopy's with 150 ish wax the behinds of them "high comp" arm jerkers. Compression is a good thing, to a point....

That was a "high comp" arm jerker 372 that waxed your 440;) Just messin with ya. I'd love to run my new 440 against you new. The popup in it really brought it to life.
