3 cube chain

[Hedgerow]

$20 per event seems steep.

 

[Hedgerow]

For no more than the payouts are.

Early bird is half price. Lol

 

[mdavlee]

I didn't pay attention to that. I figured it was $10 like before.

 

[Hedgerow]

I went 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the 3, 4, and 5 cube last year, and came home with a whopping $50..

Can't see that happening again.. Lol.

It was a good time though. Got to meet some of the Stihl timbersports guys.

Says $90 for all chainsaw events if paid ahead. Do wonder what the payouts are this year, but he didnt say.

16" for hotsaw = bikesaws if they show up.

10x10 SA and gas

Pine last year.

Sounds like pine for 16" and poplar for 10x10 this year. But he may change that. Just so you know

 

[concretegrazer]

60 DL would be the common bar size.
As long as they're similar, we should be able to grind bout any cutter.

UPDATE on MO show

I was just contacted and he is changing hotsaw wood size to 14" = to even things up better were going to change the hotsaw wood size to 14". Thanks

 

[Cut4fun]

I knew this was the reason. But here you go. Also we've decided to change the hotsaw wood from 16" to 14" to accommodate the 3120 saws

Anyone read the article Masdens have on their site about a square filing contest Oregon did between about 12 loggers who use square chain. They idea was that Oregon new experienced loggers would change off the roll factory chain to suit what they were cutting & file faster chain than factory grind. Anyways the results were interesting in the fact the best 'looking' chains were not the fastest. Those who left a step in the gullet were the top performing chains. I've read this before from a hotsaw competitor who insists you can't remove all the gullet to the side plate & that natural 'step' that filing creates is important. Its not something I see around here, everyone removes all the metal in the gullet possible which looks like the right thing to do but perhaps is not?? I didn't pay much attention to this when I first read about it but after the Oregon sponsered filing contest finding the top few chains had this in common it got me thinking about it. Apparently the old school loggers have known this for ages & do it cause it works. If you posted a pic of one of these cutters here, the first thing someone would say is 'that gullet needs tidying up'. Thoughts?

I've never seen the gullet stay on make a faster chain. I've done them in steps and the gullet knocks off some time. Is it necessary in a work chain? Doubtful it makes enough difference to do it every sharpening but when filing it makes it easier to file.

 

[concretegrazer]

The gullets were mentioned in the article. And said they cleaned them after the race & cut times decreased.

watched a video with old man walker from walkers saw shop He said leaving the gullet helps clear the chip out the back of the tooth. He didn’t say it was faster. He said the chain would cut straighter in longer cuts. Voodoo

 

[concretegrazer]

Straight line is faster...

 

[Jswanson]

Chain done yet ffs?
