If the bar is right, it’s not needed, but @CanadianFarmBoy will have to answer that.

I noticed the oregon bars have real small oil holes compared to the Japanese bars. I’m sure .063 helps a bit too. My 044 was kinda stingy with .050 20” in hardwood.

The only 0.050” @ my House is a pole Saw & my 200Ts, & that’s Picco.

Open up the holes on the bars & the oil will flow.

i take a Dremel cut of wheel an cut a slot for the Oiler, it is super difficult to clog that way and it oils better too!

My ported 440 wears a 28" Stihl light weight/full skip. It could use the oiler mod with the 8 pin sprocket but it gets by. I think a 460/461 would be a better choice solely due to the high output oiler option. My next 440 replacement will be a ported 461.

Works wonderfully on smaller softwoods.

It don’t work so well on hickory, for obvious reasons, but I proved it didn’t.

 

[RI Chevy]

Cool Heath. I remember seeing that video.

That’s pretty cool!

It is when correctly applied to the proper species.

The pine in the picture was ~22”, but had a bit of a back lean.

I was skeptical, but after trying on the 3rd tree, I’m no longer skeptical.

Again, It don’t work so well on hickory.

 

[RI Chevy]

Why doesn't it work on hickory?

The fiber density is great.

I figured it had something to do with grain

Think about it like this Jeff, what wood do they commonly use for handles for tools? Ash and hickory. They make baseball bats out of ash very dense/hard
