Also I’m curious some people claim twin saws work great and other videos and claims by people say the two powerhead set up doesn’t speed up enough to warrant the extra gas and your better off going single saw but bigger.

The two saw set up might still get used on my 72”. Even if it’s not much faster I won’t have to use that poorly designed helper handle that the grandberg came with. That thing is a joke.

That is what we hear. Is it true?...
Someone should try say a 660 and a 361 or small husky maybe a dolmar at the other end. You should not need the auxiliary oiler.

I've strongly considered just a case with a dummy crank pin and oil pump in it. Far better than some stupid auxiliary handle or dicking around making up a big cumbersome tank to haul around. That will get a hard "look@" this weekend.

Also looking into putting an air injection tube down near the pto seal for cooling and to keep chip out.

40:1 mix with synthetic oils and a rich tune. I’ve milled pretty steady 10-12 hour days when it’s 80-90 out. Never any heat issues yet, vapor locked saws or running out of power from heat.

Don’t know if putting a high reving saw with a tourqey saw will do either. Faster saw will just wind down till it balances rpm with the big saw. I think two saws from same family of saws that run same rpm is the ticket if it works at all. That’s why the 075 and ts 510 converted to a bar with an auxiliary oiler. Same rpm rating saws and same family just different size and I hope that won’t matter much.

Honestly I don't think it will matter if you miss match saws on a two head mill. They will add their power to the chain no matter what RPM. They won't fight each other while in the cut so I don't see any issue with it. If I had the wood, the mill and the saws to try it I would.

I can't recall where I saw it, maybe on AS but, there was a guy who .ade a monster mill with two 880's to run his mill. It was crazy, like 72" cut IIRC. I'll see if I can find it.

No need to find it. I was offered three 088's and a 084 with twin mount 72 and other bars.
No Thanks. That was five years ago.

Mines 72 and I wish I could find a second 090 for the other end cutting large slabs. I personally like big saws just for the fact that they aren’t wound right like a smaller saw of the same hp. Also those heavy lower rpm saws have heavy cranks and flywheels for torque. My thoughts are more torque the better never seem to get much chain speed in a 32-36” wide cut so fast saw doesn’t seem necessary. I was thinking of a generator and a big electric saw just for the torque but would be a pain to haul around. Yes wore our 090’s for 1200-2000 exist but that’s what they are is shot. Nobody asks reasonable money for one that’s in decent shape so I probably will never have another just end up buying 2 880’s later on.

I thought they were underpowered junk? I never have known anyone with one just reading around the internet that they were pretty useless. Maybe I read wrong.

Pipe, I need a pipe on muh saw. Thoughts...
I been looking for a set up I saw a while back. Saw had a pipe exhaust but it wasn't expansion chamber. It routed the gasses up and away from the operator. It looked nice to me, I'll keep looking.

I've been milling with a rebuilt and ported Jonsereds 80/90. 90cc, 32" bar, 32:1. 3/8 .050 Oregon milling chain. About 10 slabs on it so far, and it does great.

I'm shooting for a 44 cutting width. Bars needs to be 48-50.

Thought you had another running 3002 mount?
