I enjoy your pics and vids, as always. Did you get the new P&C for your old 7900 yet?

Matt you're the real beast.lol I'm still amazed at the number of trees you can fell in a day. Glad to here your work ported 7900 is still running like a top. The warmer the air the less dense the air is, so yes your saws will run rich in hot weather leaning out the H needle on the carb, it's the opposite when the weather turns cold.
I shave and shower regularly so look and smell a tad less beasty than you might think
Your 7900 runs close to my EHP 7900 so I'd say in bigger wood it's likely 20-25% over stock. Sure some can get more out of a 7900, but it will severely reduce the saws durability.
MCW;Anyone who ever wants to come tree felling with me is more than welcome. It gets a bit boring all by yourself![/QUOTE said:There you go Matt, sell tickets.
Matt, great pics and thread
cheers,

There you go Matt, sell tickets.
Hahahaha Funny thing is I need to trim my full beard pretty bad.

When I had my saws ported EHP asked if I wanted a cookie cutter or a work saw, my 7900 is a work saw, and my 372 is a bit of both.
Be careful out there Matt, and keep up the good work.
Thanks Serg. I might as well get some photos and vids when I can and share them around. It's a different type of tree felling situation to most so I'm glad some people are finding it interesting I'm running out of interesting things to post though as after 5000 trees it is tending to get a bit repetitive.
I was thinking of dropping a tree on my work vehicle just to liven the thread up a bit! After all it is a brand new Ford Ranger dual cab (rebadged Mazda BT50) and despite free fuel etc, it doesn't hold a candle to my current model personal vehicle (Nissan D40 Navara TD manual dual cab). The Rangers/BT50's really are cheap and nasty with a capital "C" and "N".
Problem is Al I'd have to pay people to tag along
i'll be down sometime in the new year to say gday matt the relies are givin me a hard time about visiting them so i might spend a week or so in barmera. seen a funny thing on me way home from work today, a fc holden ute towing a stx navara wish id had me camera dont see that to often eh.
Andy, can i ask what you info or fact your basing the over 25% increase in performance = severely reduced durability on?
Matt, great pics and thread

Great stump Matt, dead-on for sure. It looks like you have a lot of fun ahead of you. If only we had that much falling work here...
Too bad on the Ringtail, they must be pretty docile animals?
How are you doing Matt?
Is that chain getting plenty of oil?
The build up of sap on the chain usually suggests a lack of oil.
Yes that is the perfect stump.
Too bad about the possum Matt.
Yep - I like the stump
And BTW your rakers are spot on.
Gullet width to raker depth is 9.33 which makes the cutting angle 6.11º
The profile suggests you are using a filoplate?
Chain does look a touch dry.
Great work
Cheers
Show me some data and I can't resist the urge to analyse it!G'day Bob. Can't get away with anything when you're around mate! You've turned a simple photo into a science experiment.
Could be! A guy I know that was cutting a lot of tuart used to hang a spray pack of diesel on his belt and used to spray his chain with it in between cuts - you're probably going hell for leather so you won't want to stop between cuts.. I have a feeling it is just the sappy wood but could be wrong. I'll have to take more notice next time,
Yeah I heard that too.and yeah sad about the poor possum. I really like the Ringtails, the Brushtails are a bit feral though...
