Woods Ported 3120 aka...The TW3120

[brncreeper]

I’ve got some milling to do this week, so the 3120 is getting put to use. This is the first outing with the 3120 since timberwolf gave it a woods port.
Both cameras went dead after the first pass, but I did manage to get a video of the first pass. For the second pass, I set the mill down to 8 inches and made cut through the center of the log, it went just about as quick as the top pass. Don't know what kind of tree it was, but it seemed plenty hard.
I’m using an 8 pin sprocket and 3/8” chain for the milling.

Your just teasing us all posting pics of that shiny 3120, AND NO VID! :censored:

Uploaded...finally.

awesome, I gotta try that some time!

It feels stronger than my EHP088, a log stand test should tell for sure. The dual port muffler looks good, but for milling the exhaust gas blows right at the operator.

I think it is more suited for a 7 pin sprocket for milling..But ,that is just my opinion.

That thing sounds mean, when it idles it reminds me of a CR250R I used to own back in high school.

 

[brncreeper]

It has a new piston and cylinder so it should improve. The eight pin seems to work I have no desire to go to a seven at this point, but if the chain was stalling constantly I would not hesitate to drop it down.
Yeah, it's got one mean idle now!

Even with the 8 tooth, it sounded like it was bouncing off the rev limiter a bit. I'd keep the 8 tooth on it as well, unless maybe your milling with the entire bar buried in some locust or white oak.

 

[brncreeper]

Yeah, a 7 pin would probably be on the electronic limiter constantly. The 8 pin plus one chain worked throughout the entire milling of this 10x10x8 cant.
I have one more log (cottonwood) to mill this week, then it's on to some 404 chain tests.

9-pin .404??? That's like running a 10-pin 3/8! And on a long bar.

Yup, I had an old bar that delaminated on the pto end. It was either scrap it or modify and use it.

That log looks like Hickory to me.

The HP graph TW ran shows about 13.8.

That log looks like Hickory to me.

Could be, whatever it is, it’s solid. It was all I could do to push up into the trailer.

I know this wood is hickory.

On to the cottonwood mill site today.

I cut it to a length of 8’. Here’s the 25” bar on a 34” log.

Thanks. I had some cake and ice cream today with my family before going into work. No chainsaw though, I guess that just means I’ll get two for Christmas.
