Good deal. With a longer bar that will get real interesting 6100 vs 361.
Mill chain. Drop the drags to 35 or 40 in white oak slabs. Good runner
Nails a nail is a nail. Cut many.
It’s cool making boards with a chainsaw. I just don’t have the market to sell or use them right now.
You hearded of trade and barter?
Still requires a market. There are a dozen commercial sawmills within 50-70 miles of me. And probably 50 bandsaw mills owned by individuals.
Wish we had that problem. These guys around here want 700-900 a day to bring out a portable. Most if them don't understand production work imo. Then they have no answer for big stuff but... we can bring a chainsaw mill to bust them up 900 a day and then we can saw them up for you into lumber. I ask... how many slabs an hour... oh one. I laugh. I do two logs and load by myself in one day with a chainsaw mill. *f-word them crooks. Saws break in fast... two three tanks is only four to six long heat cycles. I put the little ones on the narrow work like single log posts.
Yup I agree, it was a nice and dense red oak piece. I counted 130 growth rings and roughly 20” diameter. Grew slow. I like using this 361 as a benchmark to judge other modified 60cc saws as I know it is slightly faster in cut speed than a stock 441 and stock 572xp. So we know it must be in the neighborhood of about 6-6.5 peak horsepower... since we know for a fact the 572 is 5.9hp and the 441 is 5.6 horsepower. It might not have the low end torque across the curve of the larger stock saws. But for its size... the 361 is impressive. Especially with a 20” bar.
I have a thing for that b1tch
I did it to a giant maple like that. Hit metal and used three saws. Killed every chain and it was well worth it.
That runs very very well Kevin. What were your impressions of the Wiesco slug in that saw?
All the trees up on the hill just sh1t the bed.
