That's a sweet running old j-red Stump... What size bar you gonna outfit it with?
The chain I put on it wasn't very sharp.
That 20" is the only big jonny mount I got. They have larger studs than huskys.
I think I'm gonna sell/trade it, it's neet but just don't fit in right now. I'd rather sumbody have it that would really appreciate it more than me.
You know they make files for that?
I have available for my very good friends, some stihl square files.
Well Dad and I finally got back into a pasture that we were cutting in this Spring,... It had been share cropped w/beans not long after we cut a lot of Red, White and Burr Oak blow-downs from a wind and ice storm. All of the trees were 60+ years old and most of the Burrs were over 100. One burr trunk gave my 660 a run for it's money. I don't know what's up, but it feels like the saw is leaving a bit on the table. Not sure if I need to drop the rakers a bit, or if it really needs .404 chain,... I can tap it out pretty easily cutting wise (sharp chain) but it still feels like it's got power to spare? All in all we hauled a 7k/18' car hauler out full (w/in about an inch of running out of arch on the springs) and Dad's '97 Z-71 shortbed + plus a 6x12 single axle trailer full (minus the space occupied by the splitter). Not sure about total volume but I'm thinking 2-2.5 cords.... We'll see. I'll snap some pics in the am and upload them along with the buck pics. Now if it wasn't for freezing rain/sleet/snow, I'd be out splitting tomorrow. Not being un-manly, BUT, Pneumonia and I are old friends and I already have enough scar tissue in my lungs. :bang:
There's still a lot of wood there (some of questionable integrity),... I'm trying to see if my rancher buddy would allow some A.S. friends to come and spend a day playing along a dry creek bed,... There's only about 12-30 CORDS worth of crap that I'm trying to get cleared out, before it becomes bank eroding dams. And it's mostly Oak, w/a bit of Locust and Ash thrown in. The hedge is in another playground, the BIG hedge anyway. There's a few trees out there that would make Matt's Stumpbroke 372 cry Uncle!!!!!
What length bar is on that 660? Ya, dropping them rakers will take advantage of unrealized torque for sure. Try 3/4 mm with a fresh sharpened 3/8" chain.
.404 is a mistake IMO on any saw under 110cc's.The wider kerf is a detraction to overall performance,removing that kerf with the skinniest chain you can get away with is how I see it.Other's mileage may vary.
You may be right,... i=I was just a bit leery of how to treat the rakers. I have the old Stihl depth gauge to keep them maintained, but I figured there had to be more room for improvement,... I now it's got more motor that's not being tapped (still occasionally 4-stroking while leaning on it).
