Dude builds a stout farkin saw.
Couple of us at the GTG got to run a 372 he built.
I wouldn’t hesitate to have him build a saw for me if I was looking for variety.
Ask @Definitive Dave how it ran

I believe he builds a great saw especially one that has been out for some years. But when he builds a saw that's not even on sale in North America and then says it has no torque and people are saying "pass" we should probably wait and see how it really is when it comes out. That's all I'm getting at.

I’ve got a 461 psycho saw Jack built and it is a very impressive saw. Very!

I believe it, I have a 461 at work with just a muffler mod and it’s a very impressive saw. I ran his 372 at the ny gtg and it wasn’t a pooch either.

He's doing great!

He's had one (or more maybe) for a while now, this video was uploaded back in Nov 2017....

He said the 572 has no problem with a 32”

I have a 361 that will run a 28.

Interesting statement.

 

[MustangMike]

Yea, but Dr Al has an 026 that will run a 36", and ...

Doomed now. Must read the whole thread

Torque to me in a saw is usually these 5 things. 1. Can it run a more aggressive chain/larger sprocket/longer bar? (all do the same thing really...load the motor more) 2.Does it resist stalling easily putting in face cuts/bore cutting? 3. Can it keep pulling the chain when the cut pinches or bore cut into pinches to cut out bottom? 4. Does it have difficulty clearing a bar rail full of chips? 5. Does it recover quickly after being lugged too hard?

Good stuff.
I never consider working in "the pinch." Just avoid it. Undercut first or carry a pocket wedge. Pinching saws and pushing through them pinches, tears up equipment imo. I learned to work around that long time ago.

If you climb trees, that push the pinch will bite you every time.
And it just makes work more dangerous.

One day that big bucking saw will come out of the cut back at you. Seen it more times than I care to. Avoiding it is much safer.

Agree, I don’t go anywhere with a saw without a wedge.

I rarely carry a wedge. Watch the wood not your saw
RPM's for old guys FTW!

You're foolish not to carry wedges with you bud. You may have much more experience than me but wedges will get you out of a bad situation quick.

I have a wedgie...

Do you take it everywhere with you?

[RI Chevy]
