In addition, they choke down the exhaust to comply with emissions ... at the expense of performance and saw life! Excess heat kills saws.
that saw and beam reminds me of a tv show i watched last nite. awesome show! PBS 8... mid-term + 1 on the 5 yr restoration of Notre Dam Catherdral. View attachment 1040897
a restoration project (process) of almost unprecedented scale! the timber to be used for support and for replacement section of the docuvid were amazing. hunting for one oak, needing 850 in a forest of over 8,000 acres! the effort and archetectural expertise involved is unreal. "an extrodinary show of architectural and historical restoration expertise" one expert was quoted saying. and everything has to be to original standards. ex, only one company in the world can and does make replacement vintage glass as used originally in the catherdral. WOW! a glass blower blows a bulb. rolls it red hot into a tube. expands it into a cylinder. swings it in special stand, it is heavy, and gravity pulls it from ball to cyl. then once a cyl, a scrible line thru middle. t-b. 'tap! it cracks... perfectly... is reheated slowly... and teased into opening and then flowing out slowly into being a pane of glass! the show was full of such amazing skills. talents. abilities. the metal work research includes electron microscopes... the architectural engineering involved to build it originally, had surprises even for today's best! ~
their goal for completion of the restoration's deadline is for the 2024 Olympics...

I think I split two cord in an hour!
Unbelievable!
Oh no wait!
I mean, they aren't mine!... Alright then! Were was I?
Oh yeah! I think I split two cord in an hour! Unbelievable!
OregonWhere is this saw located I may be interested. Says 99cc and almost 7hp, and up to 5 feet's of barI think @Sawdust Man subliminal messages are working
Mine was way out of tune when I got it, and it didn't want to straighten out..... I'm interested to hear your experience with tuning it when you get to it.I know a couple of y'all were interested in my planned tear-down/build up of the 543xp clone saw. Anyway, the saw was on my front porch when I came home. It started right up and runs, but needs some tuning. I'm going to make some test cuts with it in daylight, but the plan is to do a tear down on it and do port/machine work on it...also fix any issues I find along the way. Hopefully, I'll get to it in the next couple of weeks...I've got a couple of other saws that I need to finish first.
Just because I'm curious about this as a saw to throw on the front of my dirtbikes, I threw it on the scale. It weighs 10lb, 14.2oz; Mk1 550xp weighs 12lb, 15oz; Stihl 201tcm top handle weighs 9lb, 5.2oz; and my Echo 2511t weighs 5lb, 15.2oz. All weights are wet, but w/ no bar/chain.
Nothing about the 30-06 will ever change!This doesn't read much different from the stuff I read 50 years ago... which supported the purchase of my Remington 700 BDL .30-06.
Nothing! Everything!
Uh? because its splitting in action. Duh!
That is the Fiskars IsoCore 8 lb splitting maul. I hear they are very good, but I've not used one.Well, my neighbor lent me his Fiskars yesterday evening. Im not sure what model, but its at least six pounds with a 36" handle and boy is it one fast wood splitting son of a gun! I've never split a pile of wood so fast!
Well, even though my post about borrowing my neighbors Fiskars and splitting two cords in an hour was pretty much just a joke. (Maybe a stupid one,
but a joke none the less. Im a simpleton! my Saws are sharper than I am!) I did however conduct a wood splitting drill with the 8lb Fiskars and it is definitely more efficient and effective than a regular 8lb maul. I will be rondevouzing with a Fiskars Supplier ASAP! 
To aquire the well balanced weapon against wood and it shall then be added to my current arsenal of wood splitting arms at hand! Id like to try the 
X-27 though! However, intel sources report that they are in high demand and on a first come first serve basis and that it may be a while until supplies are dropped!
How long is the handle and how many pounds dose this enemy of unsplit firewood weight? This infamous X27? 
POOF !! Nothing more sexier lol
I have a couple Remingtons that came from our that way I believe, they still have the saw shop sticker from the late 60's
Did you watch them guys they put the chain on backwards in the beginning.
