[RandyMac]

All that work, for all that fiber pull.

Damn right, I believe a good post could have saved most if not all that wood. I never did like back straps anyway though. .


It even looked like thats what he was doing, but then he went and cut all the guts out. . . . hell i don't know. .

Nice new cover you got there. I recently got that one for my jred 2171 for the same reason you did, and I really, really like it. In fact, it should come on all versions of the saw as standard, since you don't really sacrifice anything to get better flow.

Did you find a red one?

Yeah, wasn't hard. Local sawshop ordered it for me, had it 3 days later. An orange one was out of the question!

What's the 'post' method you guys mentioned?

What's the part number for the red one for future reference?

Thanks for that. Does it have the flutes like the smaller one?

The ones near the rubber flap? Nope, it doesn't. Just lots of room with no fuss.

 

[mdavlee]

That's good. The one on the 2171 was fluted. It didn't seem to clog any more than the husky without them.

It,s pretty much what he had going in the vid, except that he had it in the back which qualifies it as a strap.. It's just holding wood in the back cut. .

Ah, sort of like a long bore cut, uh? I've gotten away with the post set up, but I have never had a big leaner like in that video. Most of the ones I worked on were small Alders in the 20-24" range.

An oddity is that a stock (outboard clutch) 346xp actually noodles wery well, at least with 21LP and 25RSC chain........

Is this the OEM cover for the 570 and 575 or is it designated as wide discharge for those saws. If it is a stock 570/575 cover I think I'll get one tomorrow.

 

[mdavlee]

Yeah its the stock one for the 570 and 575. The 576 doesn't have it for some reason.

Nice, I'll have to get one for my 372bb project. My wife made the mistake of telling me I have to get my saws ready for fair season in August.

From what I've known, it's ONLY the stock 570-575 cover for the full wrap, west-coast saws (big dogs...)

I have seen MANY 570's and 575's with the regular cover on them...




What a NICE wife!


woodchuck, I sent ya a PM...

that wide clutch cover looks fly as ####.

Looks great on the Stihl saws as well. Here's my old 046mag:
