:clap: Not to mention the undetermined flex of said bar, what grade the bolt was, how it was welded, and WTF the 1" steel plate was attached too :dizzy:

I wanted to add that my miller 251 uses 70,000 psi strength wire, but I didn't know the surface area of that 150lb guy so I let it go..
 
Torque I say!!!!!!!!

Now that I've read this thread, I have but one question.

Why did so many of the chainsaw masters who commented on this thread ignore the lifeline Wheelock threw you back on page three?

Torque allows anyone to use a saw even the heavy handed goobers like David here. :laugh:

Funny I always felt that a fast high torque saw was like a sharp knife. It is actually easier to control.

Mary Ann, Kim, Cris.......... Hmmmmm, hard to choose.
 
In your miscalculated above equation HP would be 0. Torque would be more than 3000'#'s because you didn't factor in breaker bar weight.
Breaker bar is counterweighted. And you're missing the point. It was an illustration, not to be mistaken for a micrometer inducing calculation of Jack Daniel's proportions.
