Saw video thread

Nope. You missed my point Mike.
But whatever. If you have a free for all, then so beit...

Mason and I have done some real good real world testing. Separating as many variables as possible. Our results don't lie. They are true. We were surprised as well, expecting some different outcomes.

I remember, 7 pin FTW, and I told everyone before the testing began! 8 pin is hard to beat in softwood cants.

All depends on bar size. For 460 and Hybrid.

Jeff,

In general the Hybrid will have higher RPM and the 460 more grunt (due to the smaller case volume acting like a crank stuffer), but there is a very wide range in performance of all ported saws, but especially the Hybrids.

Remember Jeff, I've also done some testing. I had 3 ported 046/460s. Then I tried different carbs on them. One (the MOFO) really responded to the HD-50 carb, the others didn't, so that is the one I kept. For some reason that I can't explain, that saw is stronger with that carb, but the others didn't like it!

No Mike. Mason and I in our testing. We tested big softwood at Eric's mini gtg. Eric's Hybrid was crazy fast. At Dan's, we tested in Red Oak. 460 FTW in Oak. Not by much.

In NY you never mentioned anything until the test cuts were over.
Parameters should have the been set before hand. I just assumed we all has the same rim. Due to 24" bar. Next time we will be sure to have all same setups.

@Deets066

Not with Deets’ hybrid. It’s different. More like a high strung 064

 

[MustangMike]

I would love to see it run, and know more about what was done to it.

I always like knowledge!

Aaannnddd.....

We’re off

I have said for a very long time that in hardwood, on anything less than 90 cc, I prefer 7 pin. Many times I stated that.

Used to watch that show all the time! (and Gunsmoke, and Bonanza, and …)

Not before or during the cuts made in NY. It wasn't until it was all over that you said you had a 7 pin on your 460. We all had 8 pins.

I am just going by the 460s and Hybrids that I have run.

9 pin to see whose really has the stones.

From what I’ve heard, their chains pretty much just bounce off anything harder than a jelly bean. Might hafta go 10

 

[Deets066]

Old dry burr oak. Doesn’t get much harder that that around here. 8 pin

 

[Deets066]

9 pin

 

[Deets066]

10 pin

My Hybred is built for a long bar.
32" 3/8 semi skip..

You might have to tilt or adjust your phone. Sorry...

Jeff, if your saw has nuts... it can run any length bar, short or long.
I’ve ran a 36” with a 9 pin. That doesn’t mean it can’t run a short one.
