Oregon® seeking professional loggers for product field testing

18 years too long for me

you didn't ask how long we have been on the job...........25 years for me, some of these guys been at it a bit longer.

You and Chris are just a couple of pups.

I met the Oregon reps at the LaPine GTG and they were great. They answered a lot of questions and, just as importantly, they listened to what we had to say.
It was the only GTG that I've been to where we had actual factory reps. I'd like to see more of that.

I signed up. I run all oregon chain. Bars most of the time too.

These aren't marketing folks, these are engineers, and if you want to ask questions like "what the hell were you thinking with that Vanguard chain?" these are the folks who can answer.

we're serious about working with some additional testers that put our product through real-world paces and don't just tell us what we want to hear.

There are "advertisers" on here who could learn thing or seven from this refreshing approach. Personally, I haven't seen much from Oregon that would persuade me to use it instead of Stihl/Tsumura, except perhaps the .404 RX milling chain.

If I were to guess, perhaps there's a pro-level fallers powersharp b&c they are testing?
How about one from left-field; an Oregon branded 90cc diesel, injected chainsaw?

Dang, Did Husky finally make good on their threat of producing their own chains?
IF so I reckon that'll show up on the bottom line.
Unless that was all just some sort of lawyer speak instead of actual production.

Wish I was qualified to ask for a few loops or even just a discount on 'em
Way things have been going, I'll not likely get to cut more than a good pickup truck load over the next couple years as things look now.

IF it's an honest feedback situation, those doesn't seem to come very often folks.
Enjoy but don't waste the opportunity to put in a legitimate word
(i.e Cause Oregon to swear off ever talking you again) about anything you've ever wished you had a chance to say guys.

eta: yeah I know we ciy-idiots will generally be the worst offenders
But a few of us did pull a wrench or 2 & and build from new, over the years and accidentally learned a few things along the way.

Did someone say diesel saw?...

I hear ya Bob, dealing with these two noobs does take patience

I will say JGX is a nice chain. Easy to put an edge on, smooth for skip (rakers too high out of the box), and priced right.
Oregon needs to infuse some Viagra into their bars (especially the LW). Until they do, I'll keep paying a premium for the Sugi light

Yeah anything over 28" is too flexible.

huh? they don't make that no more? seems like not that long ago.........

 

[KenJax Tree]

Loggerchain.com has DPX not sure if its the same though.

I go through all bars too fast. If the rails don't wear they spread. Just not worth the premium to me. I never noticed the whip in my 32s. I toss em around pretty quick.

 

[northmanlogging]

Limb'n a tall ugly cedar and you toss the chain 15 times you notice a floppy bar pretty quick... and sometimes have a bit of a rigging fit...

 

[bitzer]

Ya gotta keep yer bar straight Northy! I throw chains a lot when I'm pushin too hard or when I'm being lazy. Its pretty easy to correct most of the time.

 

[slowp]

Ahh yes. At LaPine they handed out those necklace things with inches and a detachable bottle opener. I have used both.

hmm........IDK bitz, i have had much better luck with premium bars. ain't had to file a bur off yet. and i much prefer a multi rivet tip.
