Yes definitely for that size piece and it being oak. Lots of different combinations can be run. All comes down to experience and testing. Bar size, tree size, ported or stock, chain, etc...
Important to know what your saw can do and what is needed to complete the task.

I think you'll be unhappy with a 7 pin .325 with that saw.
In fact you might be able to do .325 9 pin. Lol
All depends on the wood.
But you did good on that sir.
I think your right about the 7 pin, I tuned it a little richer and started cutting on the fork of the piece of wood in the video so I could bury the bar and having the bar buried didn't slow it down. It's at 14,600 WOT now and was at over 15,000 rpm in the video, I got scared and let off it when it hit 15.

That much grunt it will start bending the bottom dog's they are to long and thin the 088's used to bend them stock in no time cutting hardwood with thin bark but is an easy fix just cut them back.
It also takes the over sensitive aggressive leverage out of the dogs is a good mod for 88's and hardwood.
I like the look of the new dogs on the 881 for hardwood and thin bark.

This is how we used to cut them.

With a 28" bar on a 461 I would go 7 pin, but lots of guys seem to put 8s on them, so I just asked.

I'll presume it was 7 pin … nice gains from the porting!
Just testing the waters to see what would fly in here lol.

Yes it’s a 7. In stock form it didn’t like the 8. I think in one of the cuts it stalled even with the 7.

Maybe try a 8 toof and lock the chainbrake mid cut to see if it pulls thru it. Lol

Changes the manners of the saw is like two different saws after cutting back the long bottom dogs on a 088/880 for cutting hardwood.

These shorter one's on the 881 look like the go for hardwood.images (47).jpeg

Looks like the 881 comes with both long or short? yeah I'll pass on these one's look how thin they are will bend in no time cutting thin bark hardwoods.
I don't know anything about softwoods long dogs like this are probably good for softwoods like douglas fir and thick bark.

I'm a weirdo, I like 7 pins on a working saw unless its absolutely bonkers...that said the echo and 395 usually wear 8 pin, if I have 3/8 on the 395....
No you're not, I much prefer a 7 over an 8 in the wood I'm cutting, which is exceptionally hard. Even on my TM066 which is a monster, it seems smoother and happier with a 7 on a 28-inch bar, less chatter too.

If you are cutting hardwood I agree with you entirely. The 7 pin in hard wood a happy saw makes. I just feel like in work situations with hardwood the extra torque over chain speed is advantageous. Maybe im wrong, but with a stout chain you can load these saws up nice.
