What's a still? Something off Ebay? Rebaged Power Horse maybe?

Still, as in whiskey. Home brewed horse pickler. A casualty himself.

i will say this it is not the saws fault that it is flawed it is the builders fault and we all have our prefrence to what kind of chain saw we use my sleff i like husky as for other ppl they might like a different kind of saw

 

[hawke]

I'd have to say buy a real saw! or maybe You can get there a few hours before You're buddies and start knawing on that wood and make some undercuts then You might have a shot at it. It's hard to compete against an Eagerbeaver, Wildthing, or craftsman. Can You brake the limbs off?

hey i dont think the saw i the problem you have a gd saw like i have said before i think its your rakers i think they are to high you have to match your rakers to your teeth on your chain and you will get a much better cut every time now if you chose to do this file your rakers down all the way and you will be trough that log in seconds but be careful for kick backs this is what i was taught when i frist started out as pro operator and this my opinion others have different ones no one eles has realy put any input into your questsion i hope this helps you some

I want a 372. I have all stihl's and a homi.
Brand bias is dumb. It's hard to talk #### about a brand when you don't have one.
I hate Polaris cause I have had them and all they do is break.
I have a Ford it does wear out and have more problem's then others i;'m shure but i love it. I would take another brand truck because they will all get the job done, i just like ford i grew up on them.

Brad, THANK YOU!

I will get started with 1, 2, and 3 and am waiting for a reply from McCulloch for a manual so that I can tune the carb to factory specs (but I am in Colorado and often cut wood at 10,000 feet - is there anything special I should do?)

Concerning Sharpening the chain, are there any tutorials on how to do this correctly? I would like to learn. Thanks again!

After you tune up your saw we'll need a video of you beating your buddies!

ya your quick i know what a hand plane is now they are more of a pain in the but i did try 1 once it took to long to set up by the time you get the plane out and put it on your bar you could have your chain sharpend and back to work

noahand planeisa woodwurking toolthat planesdown would they r a painbut you shoold never usethem on chain because both will get dulld and that is no fun for anyone the reason i brought it up is beecause when you use a handplane you kwiklly find that suttle adjustmint in the height of the kutting blade makes the wurk easier and smoother and produces a smuther finish it is generally better to have less hite than more hite and you can feel the difference in how hard t is to work the wood so youd get a natural feel for that sort of thing and have a better understanding of why filing your rakers down to nothing is a pretty stoopid and counterproductive thing to do just my opion though who knews what othurs mitesay

I think that the problem is that [ hawke ] may have a different first language, he may be from Quebec. I will ask him this question.

Wow! Thanks for all the help even though I said I didn't want to buy a new saw. My buddies are running the same P.O.S. machines that I am (small engines, green in color, but I don't know the type) and their's run much much better. In fact, I think I have the biggest cc motor in the group. They all run stock chains, etc.

Are these newer looking saws....or old ones?

The reason I ask is: If you are cutting against an old Poulan S25 series saw....you will be hard pressed to keep up.

I ani't no pro operator but that sounds like a good way to get hurt
low rakers suck and no rakers would make it worse I'm sure

 

[stihlboy]

eliminating the rakers will mess up crank bearings

 

[ouachita]

I know your all sick of this but I read the whole thing and I'v got to say something. no rakers aint as fast as a properly sharpend chain. the rake is what carrys the wood shaving out of the cut. whithout them the chain gets filled with shavings fairley quickly and slowes way down in any tree over 3/4 the width of the b/c length

Soooh you know from experience on this one. Good to know. I thought .070 lower than the cutter was far enough when I stopped. I guess I was right.:jawdrop:

 

[ouachita]

not sure if your being sarcastic? but the rakers arent there just for show or kick back control.b they are really what controls your cut depth per tooth and they do carry the trash out of the cut. try it aqnd see.file them dudes down down to nothing. the tooth is only "self cleaning" right on the end, top half.

my spellining is off late and drunk b ut i think you got my point
