Dedicated 28" bar powerhead poll

[Time's Standing Stihl]

Don’t looked to be ever used

Good eye. It wasn't used in that pic. That was the day I received it from you. Unfortunately, it doesn't look that good anymore

Mine wore off the paint quickly, 20 something chains on it, I forget. Tip is still tight. Seems like a better tip than the powermatch. Think I only had to dress the rails twice. Flip it every time I have clutch cover off. It is flimsier than a sugi or tsumura... but man is it light! I opened the oil holes just a tad and it makes a difference.

There are still alot of large diameter trees in this area. Loggers here dont typically go into the woods with less than a 24" unless it's for slashing brush. I used 28's more than anything else. Nice to not bend over so much to limb and knot off logs.

The 180 needs a better chain Jim.

Truth be told most 660's around here never wore over a 28" bar.
Mine never did at work even on big stuff. Never used light bars either. Production saw, never imho. The 79xx would just better fit the whole bill or a Solo.

Most any saw that a logger brings to me has a 20" bar. They take down some big ass trees with a 20.

I like them with a little port work and a 346 blue coil. I wouldn't say the gains are massive but definitely noticable.

And yes.

To me, logging with a 20" bar is a waste of time and energy. Others have their opinions and I think that's fine that ours differ. I use 20" bars with the tree service almost exclusively which is great for our uses.

I've seen what these guys can put on a landing in a day. Believe me when I say they give zero shíts what anyone else thinks.

Plus they're the ones lugging the saw around all day and keeping that chain sharp so who am I to judge?
