I want badly to build a cheap hot saw and load it down till it blows to smithereens on the dyno.

See these dreams everytime I sit in the bleachers at the Tractor Pull. I want to die of old age, not cast iron through the skull.....
I still show up and watch, but I think thoughts, and wonder about where and how some of that stuff is put together.....

Till which one blows?!!!

Define "hot saw"...
There are gas saws, and there are saws running on alky nitro..
Would not advise running nitro on the dyno. They can get hot..
Gas should be no problem with proper tune. They work all day with no whimpers...

Don't know. I blew the first hydraulic pump up with a 660. Then I reworked it with a higher displacement pump and a much heavier love joy coupler. I've run a couple ported 660's pushing close to 9hp with this set up.

I'm very curious. Do you dare?

A hot saw to me is a saw made for racing only because of fear it will blow in work saw conditions.

Went out and talked to the old girl...
She says she ain't scared of that contraption...
Hope she don't break it..

Yep that's a work saw if it works
Well I like chainsaws but not that much.Till which one blows?!!!
Yikes, do you stand behind a bullet proof glass window while testing these?
When's the dyno day?
I liked to see them dynoed for comparison of different builders. Then put in the same wood with same chains where it counts for the REAL world testing.

This the same saw? I asked the person who built this one was it stronger than a 385 and he said yes. Don't you have both?

Yup.. But the 385 went to work on a logging crew... Still running.. I fixed a broken AV spring on it last weekend..
This 064 is stronger..

That 385 was stout treemonkey did that one. I'd love to run that 064 some day. No videos of that thing wearing a long bar do you?

HACK
Not that I know of.. 28 is what it wears on a daily basis. Never hung anything bigger on it..
That seems about right.
And a release.
I was in R&D for 15 years. Broke everything we made.
Strange things break during testing.
You built the Dyno. They built the saw.
Each responsible for their own.

Definitely not until I get set up with an auto data system. You guys would be bored out of your minds waiting for hp graphs.When's the dyno day?
We'd be fine. While you're doing that we could be putting it in a test log or eating pie
