Best idle note ever on these.. don’t care what anyone else says..

The first piece is a red oak crotch. She's running a 24" bar because I am making firewood. I usually have a 30" bar on her running semi chisel since a lot of the wood here can be dirty. She's set to four stroke at 12,9 or so. I think she would run a 36" bar in hard oak no problem.

@XP_Slinger where's your 281 build updates, hmmm???

 

[dustinwilt68]

You tell him!lol we need pics too please

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

I'm standing right next to him and just showed him the last two posts as we speak.

 

[dustinwilt68]

I am intrigued to see what he thinks compared to his 288.

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

I’m jealous of you guys in the US with your G2G’s and all knowing each other. There are about 5 guys in the UK all very far away!

[emoji23][emoji23] I guess you have. Ha. I wish I had 1. A brother and 2. Saw loons near me

 

[XP_Slinger]

Sometimes brothers just stir the pot even though they know you’re not building a Saw til after christmas. I’ll get going on the 281 soon.

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

What are brothers for if not for pot stirring??

A W with the eliminator kit and a 28”!

 

[Daserlon]

Ya i forgot about that stuff. Any idea what the "W" indicates? Its a full wrap handle bar with 7th mount and high-top air filter.

Answered your own question!

Did he ever swap the eliminator kit for the oem hi-top (like the receipt suggests)..or did he keep the blue top...or better yet, get both? Hope he (or you) still has the saw!

 

[Daserlon]

I have the saw now. It had the oem high top on it but i traded a fellow member for a blue top.
