084 chain tests and three-cut "attempts"

[Deets066]

He's treated like a mushroom. Kept in the dark and fed poop.

I heard Dave gets his chain from some hack

 

[Definitive Dave]

Cant racing can be a lot of fun if you don't get all strung out about it . Problem is a lot of people get so stressed about 1/4 of second diff and blow the whole damn thing out of proportion .

I mean fer cryin out loud you don't go to the woods and cut square wood a 1/2 inch at a time . Then again a woods port if done right will scream through a log with bark still on it and do it all day.
A cookie cutter high port,on the other hand most likely couldn't make until coffee break.There in lies the difference .

1/4 second is forever

 

[Brewz]

AHHHHHHHHHHHhahahahahaha

ROCK HARD KNOT ????

Come on mate...... its more like a toothpick stuck into a block of foam.

Saw looks awesome though!
Can I ask why you went with an 084 over an 088?

Not really. You could gain more time than that just by sanding the paint off your bar.

 

[Time's Standing Stihl]

but if I improve enough to talk a little smack now and then I will be happy.

Are you stating that you don't talk any smack now? ??

 

[A.E.E.llc]

Y'all laugh, but this cull is coming. Lol

 

[dall]

[A.E.E.llc]

hes still kinda slow lol

Mentally yes, chainley no. What'll be your excuse? Lol.

 

[dall]

lol i have time to think of something lol

 

[Definitive Dave]

lol i have time to think of something lol

I've been working on excuses any time I can't practice with a saw.
So far my favorite excuses for getting beat are -
Damn knots !!!
I was running the wrong oil ratio for this species of cant.
The sun was in my eyes.
My chaps were too tight.

I am getting fully prepared

 

[dall]

you forgot i have gas and afraid to bend and it sneak out

 

[A.E.E.llc]

lol i have time to think of something lol

Or you could say your chain was hacked up instead of elfed up. Lol

 

[RI Chevy]

Sharpened at wrong angle, used wrong size file, didn't have glasses on, skipped a few teeth.

 

[Definitive Dave]

Wood too dry or too moist.
Grain too tight or too loose.
Cant was twisted.
Saw was tuned for a different elevation, temperature or humidity.
Was using summer weight bar oil in December.
My bar, chain, power head, sprocket and fuel mix were optimized for Ohio pine.
I thought I heard banjos

North Central Ohio/poplar/aspen/cottonwood/ pine is what some must struggle to come close to. Must be like the good olé boys in Alabama that can't be touched in gum. Hahahahaha

I just seen the videos great job it takes a lot of balls to show the world how a 084 should run.
I haven't tried cant racing.
Is that a custom bar?
I'd like to see how my mastermind 084 would do against your's.

 

[Dolmar Junkie]

Why don't you lift up the cant so you ain't laying on the ground? There must be a lever on that machine that will do just that

I was gonna say that it looked like his hydraulics were leaking,cause it seemed his cant was getting lower and lower... But other than that you did a fine job, definitely better than I could!
