The saws all felt strong but watching them just drop through the wood is awesome. I wish we had more video...

After watching all of the these videos again at home, it is amazing to hear the different sounds of each saw. The 090 sounds like a big block motor with that low end grunt! Very cool and smooth.
The 061's and the 066's maintain those high rev's throughout the entire cut. Very impressive!
The 064 has its own different sound entirely. Maintains the revs throughout as well.
An awesome way to compare many different saws. And different engine builders tweaks.

Anything to report regarding the different saw teeth grinds? They all looked as if they were just completely eating their way through that wood!
Just curious if anyone used just a completely stock chain? For comparison purposes.

Jeff, if you watch the videos where I'm cutting with the 20" bar its round filed full comp chain 3/8".
The 28" videos are 3/8" full comp sq filed
By Mike Lee.
The 36" was .404" sq filed but I'm not sure there were any videos...
My thoughts are on a large saw I liked the .404" chain, it cleared chips much better and cut as well or better. And it stays sharp way longer.
The sq filed I need to play with, Kevin gave me 2 chains and some files, Thanks Kevin!
I didn't get to directly compare sq to round so we will see...

I always forget to video when I'm playing around like that. Always more fun to just cut then stop and video stuff.

Yup! And we were so busy trying to compare saws that we spent more time switching the bar and chains than anything...

Cool. Thanks Dan. Good stuff there.

Your very welcome Sir !
Those 2 404 square chains will put a hurting on an unsuspecting saw, see if you can get used to those angles before they get too dull. Thats my normal work chain.

I have a new favorite scrench, thank you !!!

INDEED !!!
We spent more time swapping chains to saws than running saws !

I only used a gallon of fuel across all 3 saws

I wish I was still there!!!!

Ok. Show a photo of the scrench. C'mon now.

 

[Moparmyway]

Here it is ....

 

[RI Chevy]

Cool. Is it a stock scrench?

I got them from HL Supply. Just make sure you carry a flathead screwdriver to adjust your chain...

 

[RI Chevy]

Ok.. Thanks. Do they make the same tool with a flat end instead of phillips head?

 

[Moparmyway]

That one is a T27 head, but mostly all of my others are 19mm, 10mm, and a flathead

This one is 19mm, (I think 12mm) and T27

 

[RI Chevy]

Ahh. OK. Thanks.

 

[paragonbuilder]

Yes. They have both.

This one is 19mm, (I think 12mm) and T27

Small end still fits a husky like all my others. But I never checked size...

Dan,

When will you be listing the spring date?

 

[malk315]

Oh my. Yup will plan around most things to get to the GTG!

Just guessing, but usually the upstate NY GTG is late April, and Dan's is in May, so as not to conflict.

But firm dates would be nice.

Mike, do you have room in the trunk of the Mustang for 3 of my saws? You know, when we carpool to NY?

 

[MustangMike]

When I take the Mustang, I sometimes don't have room left in the passenger seat, but I can always take the Escape if you want to car pool, and we will have plenty of room! I'm just a few minutes off I-84.
