7 pin vs 8 pin ??

[SawTroll]

It was a brand new oregon 44 bar. He said he never takes it off because it's a pain to get off. It would have been easier for me to take the drum off to get the bar off. I took it home to touch the chain up. I'll probably grab some filters and a 7 pin and go back to his site to switch stuff around.

That is not an acceptable situation, so get at it!

The 7-pin will help, but if it still is tight, an extra dl should be considered. The recommended dl counts aren't "gospel".

Only reason I could think he has went with a 8 pin is running a old chain that was stretched and ran out of bar tention adjustment so use a 8 pin to compensate and never put a 7 pin on with a less stretched chain

Chain was new. This was the first time it was sharpened. Maybe a dealer put it on for some odd reason. Who knows. Lol[emoji4] [emoji4]

Makes sense to run the skip for that long bar

An 8-pin surely is an odd choice with a bar that long.

Btw, please get rid of the Tapatalk and phone reference, it is quite annoying when it turns up in every post you make.

Awesome! Oh. Thought you switched your thing to saw troll likes this. Oh well anyways.

He for sure would be better off with the 7 pin. Is the oiler keeping the bar lubed enough on the 44" ?

It's oiling it really good actually. I've never seen one oil as much as that saw does. I ran it with a 36 inch bar and it was about a tank of oil to 3/4 tank of gas.

Very odd I agree.

As too Op 7 or 8 pin. 8 pin is for the guys who like short bars on big saws, or who cut small wood diameter. Me I use the saws for what they are designed for, and my average wood is 4 foot or better. We've run a 48 inch Canon on a 066 just fine. But we run all 7,pins. Tried an 8 once, and lost stump power. But as mentioned prior, a saw running a 7, especially ripping, or running longer bars, will last longer.

Ole tramp busheler liked those 8 pins on his stuff. Just have to chain for them.
