Friendly Chain Competition

[spencerpaving]

I'm not going back and reading to see, but wondering now. Did you all know the test saw cc size etc and whether stock or ported info before building the chains for this?

My excuse is no I didn't....but I did...

Jasha just happens to know how to make a chain for cutting down trees. LOL

I figured that.
Most tested would do that just fine..
Even though agressive..

My chains tend to be grabby in the face, but I can sing through bucks and back cuts.

Some guys don't like it that way.

Like a strong self feed..??
Grabby is such an ugly word...

Yes, a very strong self feed. So in the cross-grain portion of the face, you can get some grab or jump. Definitely don't want to dog in, it'll just stall.

Now Cody T. sets up his chain at .027" on the stops with a File-O-Plate (which I'm sold on one BTW). Not as much self feed, but you can dog a face and it's smoother.

There were only a few of these chains I would dare let the dogs touch the wood with.
TRX's, mine, Mike's full comp, cobey's, and the stockers chains were dog-able... With a larger powerhead, several others would no doubt.

I ran the same chain on my 461 sat ,then on a hybrid sunday ,i could tell the difference in bog between the 2 saws with the same chain ,the 461 was happier with it ,had to use a lighter touch with the hybrid

Would have to be Sunday afternoon..

Any time, as long as it's before it gets dark... Takes bout 2 hours to runnem all..

I have to go back to work Sunday night, but might be able to be there from 2 to 4 in the afternoon but would have to leave at 4 sharp to make it to work.

The mutt 7900 is plenty strong. It's got an inboard clutch..
I may go get a 84dl bar in Stihl .063 for the 064 anyway.. Sorta need one I guess..

I have a brand new stihl .063 but only 72dl

I never touch a raker till a saw is screaming at me to do so...
Cause I ain't figured out a good way to put that steel back!!!

 

[Hedgerow]

I didn't even check mine.

They didn't feel bad, but I didn't measure either..
I need that swanky gauge!!

For some reason I don't think you need that gauge.

What is swanky?
