How hot is too hot?

[CoreyB]

Hey guys now that my coffee business has been increasing (Thank you all very much)
I get to cut wood a lot more often. I was wondering is there a too hot out side for chainsaws?
I used to be able to get all my cutting done in the spring and fall but that will no longer do.
Like today is mid 90'S and I don't mind cutting in this temp. However Is there a point where it is just too hot and I would risk hurting my saws? Especially the strato
Thanks again guys for keeping me busy it truly is a blessing to our family.

I cut through July and August. Just tune for it and forget about it.

Ya I have it tuned just a hair rich. (Burbles just off of load)
I doubt I will cut much above 100 degrees.

I like that he's more worried about his saws getting hot than his own body temperature. Jesus, this CAD really effecting people.

I thought he was going to ask how hot is too hot for coffee???

I cut when it is 45-55, 'F, give or take 25'F

I've milled with it above 95 in the shade. No damage to the saws. I was a few gallons lighter of sweat afterwards

I am running echo red armor right now. Tomorrow will probably be Dolmar synthetic

I've sawed in 90's degree weather. Long as the air filter and flywheel area is clean things seem fine. Air flow is important. Running red armor as well.

Nope, never too hot, just drink plenty of water and Gatorade, Last summer I cut in 102 and 103. year before I cut in a few days of 105 plus. one day it was 108. all these days have good humidity too.

Worked in 47°c which is 116°f, chipper and saws worked better than the crew
