A test i never see guys do is stand the log upright to duplicate a felling back cut and start and stop in the cut several times like sighting a fall in ,this is where i like bottom end tourque ,in softwoods a peaky saw will not take off again good when the chain is plugged full of chips ,my 461 has an edge on the 440 hybrids felling ,i bet this saw would do good in a test like this ,a real worksaw environment ,a cookie cut ,or buck seems to clear the chips easier in my experience .Not sure if hardwood oaks plug up with chips like softwoods ,so may not work ??
May be hard to do a test like this without log rolling also .i am just thinking out loud here .
