The poor guy wil probably read all we say about him, if you search "Piltz saw" on google, the first link is an old topic about him on AS.

He is only cutting real fresh softwoods in his videos, heck, I can turn down my 044 oiler with a 32" in fresh softwoodsno need for an oil pump upgrade, a chain stalled in the wood don't need no lube
what an idiot. Does he actually sell stuff? People buy it?
I seriously think im gonna buy the 28" conversion kit for the 260-660 saws and try this in the name of science, i have a ported 261 and 362 im gonna try it on , to see how big of BS this really is.
that will only encourage him.....
Its not much money..what the hell..why not ?

This guy is taking advantage of gullible, uninformed people, plain and simple. The sad part is that he himself falls into that same category but considers himself an expert and disregards factual information and logic.

How about his oversized sprockets - has anyone used them? Feedback?

In other words Oregon, STIHL, etc., expect 3/8 low profile chain to be run on saws up to a specified power and bar length, and size the components (tie straps, rivets, etc.) accordingly. Higher power saws, and longer loop lengths, put additional stress on these components, increasing the risk of failure. Chains intended for larger, higher power saws, have heavier duty components.

That is somewhat true, especially, if you are able to modify drive sprockets to fit. What it does not take into effect is the tensile strength of the chain 'chassis'.

If it's on eBay, you can file a report/complaint.
Those are made by Danzco. They can be bought from Madsens and other places for $10-12 less each.
I never thought of that. I may do it if he's still using them.
I don't know anything about his saws but on the face of it his claims sound ridiculous. Arborists are just as hard on saws as loggers.
I don't know much about those little saws but I doubt if they'd hold up very long with a set up like he advertises.
A good falling saw should last at least a season. It would be fun to take one of his little hotrods, work the snot out of it every day in a real-world logging environment, and see if it lasts. My guess is it wouldn't make it very long.
And using the word FELLERS is a dead give away. For a guy who claims to know anything about logging he sure uses the wrong terminology.

Wish I had known about this before I got the P61 to run a bigger bar (maybe one of the magical racing rim sprockets will turn it around?). I could've just got a 28" bar for the Tanaka and been done with it! My ms260 would just be overkill at that point lol.

The bar is awesome
It is, actually. You can read more about Cannon super mini bars here:
http://www.cannonbar.com/chainsawbars/csb_superminibar.html
For milling those are great on 044/440s. He used to file down large mount bars to make them fit small mounts. Then Cannon came out with the Super Minis which he sells on them now.
Oh, and watch the toes there bub, that PS Stihl factory chain is sharp.

Yes, that is one reason this I post and re-post about his stuff here. Another is the amusement factor, as he digs himself bigger and bigger holes. The main reason is to warn off noobs and wood-be fallers that can kill themselves with these saws set up this way. I mean, where is OSHA when you actually need them? Can you see the lawsuits against this guy when someone cuts off a limb? Not a tree limb, an arm or a leg.

It's kind of sad really. I would not be able to sleep at night knowing that I had sold products by mis-representing them. I've always thought it would be cool to put a fifth wheel unit on the back seat of a Harley so you could pull a gooseneck trailer with your motorcycle. Only mod needed is a smaller rear sprocket and a larger rear tire so it is able to go faster!!!
A bit like this? I went the wrong way on the gearing though.. I went with a 13-52, he'd recommend a 15-42

You mean he is a plagiarizing bastard as well as a cheap lying fraud?
