Slinger, I also enjoyed the video.However,are you able to do a real test on a Hardwood?A rotten pine will make the chips fly with even a stock saw.From the video it appears as if the top of the tree broke in half upon contact with the ground. Dead limbs were evident.I would like to see what your saw is able to do with some Real Hardwood. Like Oak,Beech,Maple, ext.A pine is great to show with but in my opinion this was just a very mild test. I liked the knine companion walking on the blocks.The saw sound fine. What type of petroleum lubrication are you using? (engine oil) Get the rings seated and find a hardwood. I wood really enjoy seeing what this saw is capable of.It looks like wonderful country.I enjoyed it, Ken
First off it was not rotton pine. It was very
solid doug fir. The two are night and day. Dead doug fir limbs are hard - very hard.
As far as hardwood, a green black oak, white oak or madrone would have been just as easy if not easier to saw through. Dry would have been a different story. The
Realtest is was what I did and do everyday. I cut them, limb them and buck them.
That is the way the saws get run. There is not use for me to make a "cookie cutter" out of it - it's pointless. Serves no purpose for my needs.
As far as mix, it was Husky around 47:1.
Just for the record, Dean, of whom I am great friends with milled my cylinder and piston - he did not build this saw - I build my own after learning most of what I know from him.
