The stock one looks retarded and is too bigThose look good! Def look better as single spike. Are those a dolmar spike or custom? Though the stock 6100 spike is funky looking it works really well especially for bucking.
ExactlyI'm not gonna argue with that lol. It's functionality doesn't make up for its looks and the amount of bar space u lose however.
Very nice, where's the roller chain catcher??
Perhaps that will be for sale when you get it perfected??that was one of the test sets. current set that I am running now has a roller catch installed but still tweaking the design a bit.
If I had one I want a set big enough to fall a tree with and it let it pivot putting in a face cut.
No doubt. I helped with 395 spikes and it was a challenge to make them and get them to scan the correct size.that is where i am running into trouble. these spikes work great for bucking but falling is a challenge. they dont pivot like i want them to/think they should. designing functioning bucking spikes is more difficult than it appears. doesnt help that the guy making them is 100 miles away from me and neither one of us has unlimited time to test them and make changes. one change in design is a weeks worth of emails, couple days to get them cut and bent, then a a week in the mail to me...all that then i have to find time to go cut some firewood to try them out. we finally have the material strength figured out so its just a matter of getting a design that works the way i think they should. He tried just copying the new style 6400 spikes and they dont work very well on the 6100....plus they are just huge
I don't think they are any better or worse. The one on the 6100 works great and doesn't jam up. But it's already beat and missing chunks on the inside. And it doesnt have the rubber chip guard. So they don't hold up as well but are only $20ish to replace. I got a 5105 cover with the rubber chip guard and it fits fine and is holding up better so far.
Those spikes look familiar5105 spike won't match. The inside ones are different. I ordered a euro style single spike from member 166. It has made a big difference. Saw handles better and looks better. I'm a lot happier now. View attachment 441956View attachment 441957View attachment 441958View attachment 441959
