dumb enough to get stuck…smart enough to get out.

Yep, I've found that saw that do cookies well suck for everyday logging work. JMS saws made some fast saws, but start throwing a Humboldt face cut in a green Doug fir and his ported saw was a pile of junk unless the rakers were set at .015 lol

8 pin cookies, 7 felling…and maybe less rakers. Long dawgs don’t help. Should have made some cookie vids today.

Torque for a work saw, especially on a dedicated mid to long bar saw and hardwoods.

I actually think Jim’s could build a good worksaw.

it’s just all the lies and bs he did.

I’ll agree I’ll take torque over speed every time

And my mechanic says " how many tons of asphalt chips did you load into that 1/2 ton p'up?"

Hahahaha, all this time, and I thought it was acronyms for something I'd never heard of.

I believe we all need to know what chainsaw model those engines were derived from!

 

[cus_deluxe]

Maybe some full mod ah-81 engines? Pretty cool little unit

Its been 4 years. I think It's vacation time!

I love the smell of fresh cut beech and ash, being used to the sour cat piss smell of turkey oak!

I could make a pillow filled with ash/beech noodles and sleep with my head resting on it.

 

[Wilhelm]

Full skip, full chisel, end of life worn round ground chain makes some extremely long noodles in beech and ash when "catching the grain" just right!

I didn't measure but some were 10-15cm (4-6") long - pinky finger tip to thumb finger tip palm stretched wide open as reference.

Also, noodling is freaking fast when You align the cut level to the rounds grain.

Thirdly, none of my 4 Dolmar saws I used yesterday acted up - cold start, hot start, restart after being shut of hot, restart after running fuel tank dry mid cut WOT, no problem!
I love my Dolmar's!
I used: PS-550, PS-6400, PS-7310, PS-7900

 

[Wilhelm]

The blank stares of disbelief I get when I pull out my Dolmar PS-7310/7900 wearing my 36" B&C setup and start bucking a log over 36" in diameter with perfectly straight cuts and without stalling the saw a single time - LOVE IT !!!

@Wilhelm you buy your skip chain from US or CAN? or it there an european option?

I have yet to purchase a full skip chain.
I do have one that was sent to me used from the US, but other than that one chain I have no other full nor semi skip.

I believe @ajschainsaws has full skip in stock.
Try and ask him if You need any.

I'm a 7 pin guy, and in Doug fir, the half worn chains seem to do the best.

Its hard to find but I have found online in Sweden a few different shops have or have had.
here for example https://www.gardsman.se/skog/motors...or/stihl-kedjerulle-38-rsf-1-5-mm-410-dl.html
I like full chisel full skip best for milling, but I havnt tried 3/8 lp.

Strict 7 pin here too.
Try a chain just shy of the witness mark, or even past it (triangle tooth) - those just sink through a bucking cut.
Narrower kerf, less chips to remove, less PH power loss.
I have 4 work chains past the witness mark right now, two of them 24" 84DL.
