What elevation do you live and cut at?

[Four Paws]

5000' ASL at the house.

6000'+ ASL where I do most of my cutting.

The high elevation results in a HUGE loss in power - 3% for every 1000' of elevation gain. Makes it necessary to run a 60cc limbing saw and 80cc+ for your falling and bucking saw.

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

850 feet above sea level.

 

[andrethegiant70]

7,000 ft here. Many of my saws get minor muffler mods to try to recoup some of the performance lost. Waste of time on old saws, though.

 

[Austin1]

3800 at the House
3000 to 6000 were I cut firewood.

 

[LarryTheCableGuy]

6800' ASL at the house.

7500' -8500' ASL where I do most of my cutting.

The high elevation results in a HUGE loss in power for the operator as well! Actually you do get used to it - somewhat.

[SteveH]

8,500 at the house. Probably up to a bit over 9000 some places I cut. My stock 036 does fine and cuts down and cuts up everything I put it to, no problem.

 

[Caz]

30' : )

 

[parrisw]

Usually pretty much at Seal level for me. Never above 1000' though.

 

[goatchin]

1300 feet i believe

 

[Tzed250]

2200' +/-

 

[ShoerFast]

Live @ just under 7000'

Do a lot of cutting @ 9500' - 10.000'

A stock MS-361 at sea-level will make near as much power as an MS-660 at 10,000'

Way up there

Most of my cutting is done 50-100'. If I head up on the mountain I can get all the way up to 750' which I try to avoid as it causes nose bleeds..

 

[IchWarriorMkII]

6000 feet at the house


Its over 9000 where I cut.


Finally got the GPS to my cutting spots... I was assuming they were closer to 8,000.


Thats why my 361 wears a 16" bar. And my 375xp is working good to pull a 24" bar full comp.


Makes my little 353 about worthless.

I live at 2500 ft which is why it gets so cold here! The highest I cut at is probably 3000 ft and I cut at sea level. That's where I cut the petrified kiawe, when combined with the lava rock and dust it becomes a dirty job.

 

[Cameljoe73]

About 20' ASL, In the PNW Good cool dense air... I run a 42" on my 026, just kidin'. Its nice here though, no lack of power from air.

 

[16:1mix]

971 above sea level

 

[testlight]

0, well.... 10?

 

[Gologit]

150 MSL where I live and up to 8000 MSL where I cut. All my saws have DP mufflers run on Av-Gas. It seems to help.

 

[nilzlofgren]

90' Asl

 

[litefoot]

5300' at the house. About 8000-9000' where I cut wood. I must have gotten one of those special unadvertised hot-rodded 361's from Stihl because it pulls a 25" bar just fine. Boy did I get lucky because at that elevation, I "regular" 361 probably wouldn't turn that chain.

Actually, the 361 doesn't get used much since I got an 034 for $36. I guess I'm saving it....for what, I don't know.
