Man Jimmy.....if you could ever get up here in the summer I'd take you up to talk with my father about Gravely's! Has a barn and shed full of parts! Loves em!
Bobby just saw this post. Would love to talk with him...bring him some too! Gravely tractor's are like rabbits around here for me and dad...

Jerry you're too much! You sound like my father and his Machinist Buddy Chester Knapp building cars when I was young up the barn!!
!5,500 is Stupendous for a working saw! Keep at it!! You're the Man!!!
Good Luck with this storm! Only high winds left.....gusts near 50!

I run it but others have to listen to it, I wear my helmet and caps and its still loud but not too bad but anyone near by has a ear full. Dan can tell ya how bad it is, worse than firing off 30 06 rounds with the end of the barrel 2 - 3 inches from the ears....LOL
I can still get 4 stroke all the way up to 16,000 but I tune it back to 15,500 and that sucka is still holding together, its just an experiment and if it blows up I have 25 more sets to choose from. I am starting to get the itch to do some more grinding and have a few more ideas to try out in the next one, the mind never stops turning...LOL

Not sure where this latest 346xp I got will stop Jerry but I know it'll 4-stroke up to 16,000. Ive got it clipped down about 14,500 right now... plenty of sing for me.

I'm curious how the ring life is holding up on those saws Jerry. No doubt they are lasting from the reports... thats the real art. I can port one to fly for a few tanks...but it won't last long!!

'Saw right Jimmy.......just seeing those temps made me sleepy......
I figured a mariner such as your self it would make you think of the sheet line pulling tight as wind filled the sails and a nice rum drink while she heels over and settles into a nice 2' sea on a 15 second period....

Fah-Q Jimmy! Bring your candy ass up here and bring a shovel!

Hey Jerry !!!
I've been doin some maths ,,,,,
- You cut some wood with your Stihl , dry it then burn it in your stove and heat the house .
-I cut some wood with my Stihl , dry it then burn it in my furnace and heat the house .
-Robin uses his Jonnie'sRed to cut wood , dries it and then has to burn it in 2 stoves to heat the house .
My maths say that Robin either has really crappy wood like pffftfir or pfffftpoople or them JonesyRed saws are poop .
What's your maths say ?
