From what people have been saying, it sounds like Ripsaw wouldn’t stand a chance against a real pro-ported saw.

Is the case salvageable?

Weren’t you trying to sell that recently? If so I bet you’re glad you kept it

Also, I’m at roughly 6000 feet. So that 150 psi comes out to roughly 176 at sea level

It’s a TPO membrane roof of some sort

I went out today and dropped three trees in the mountains with the newly ported 272xp. One of them was a 24”+ standing dead rock solid pine. Blocked everything up into 14” lengths. Amounted to roughly a little less than a cord. By the final tree, I could tell that the saw was waking up a...

That makes sense. It sounds like I may benefit from a couple less degrees of blowdown (raise my uppers a couple degrees) to gain rpm in the cut. It sounds like this could come at the expense of some lugging power (dogged in torque), but may cause the saw to run faster while self feeding in its...

Today I inspected my three shed find saws. All three saws (Jonsered 910, Husqvarna 61, Pioneer P41) have funky ignitions. The Jonsered and Husqvarna have two piece coils. The Pioneer has a rare, funky coil. The question that comes to mind when you find saws in a shed behind a saw shop is...
