i find that lots of folks use a heavy hand intsead of a sharp chain,though they think they have a sharp chain . but,when compared to someone than can really sharpen a chain thers is quite dull. i see lots of folks at gtg grab my saws and dog them in which is a no go. i keep my chain too aggressive for a heavy hand or an inexperienced cutter.
440 with an 8 pin is a NO GO

I try to be as light handed as I can be. Doggin in is hard on the saw, bar, chain, and everything else. If your chain is right (believe me, mine aint always) then you shouldn't have to push to get it to cut.
That's probably got a lot to do with it. It usually takes several tanks of fuel before a saw starts to loosen up. Id put the 7 back on it, and tune her fat for the first 10 tanks or so. But then, that's just my opinion.

As I always said, you need to try the options in your own wood to really know what works best - there aren't any general rules, as a lot of factors enter the picture! :msp_wink:
3/8x8 mostly works great on the 372xpg for me with a 20" bar, but in other wood or with another user it may not.....
I also routinely use it on the MS361 with a short bar (15") and the old 56cc Jonsereds 621 really needs it to perform.

Does pushing and pulling the saw like a bowsaw count as pushing?
all jokes aside i will sharpen up the chain and tie 30 helium ballons to the top handle then hold only the throttle handle and see how it cuts.
good to see everyone in good spirits today.

Remember, were talking about a 440 here, and not a 372XP. It should only take 10 baloons.
What the hell is a bow saw?
But yeah jeepz, if you're anything like me dude, you'll want the 7 over the 8. I almost always want the 7 pin on all my 5 cube saws unless I'm running my..... Nope, nevermind - not even gonna say it!
IC how it is.....

Lol I really meant to call you. Kinda got some stuff going on and I straight up forgot all about it.

Ryobi? Duece eleven?
Yeap the good ole Deuce.
Them 35cc stratos will pull a 36" bar with a 10 pin pullin' 404 chain all day long man. Ain't no reason to own another saw IMO....
