Nice job Dan!

Wow. That 880 was pissing out chips! Nice. Is Sequoia a hard wood tree?

sequoia is soft like cedar

Trueing up the end of a giant sequoia I’m going to mill into slabs soon. This chain has already killed 1.5 logs and still cuts decent. Oregon 27ax micro chisel, not the fastest but she lets you cut a long time. Woods ported ms880 and a 41” cannon bar. Usually it’s milling but gets out of the sled to buck or cut stumps now and then.

It’s identical to cedar, so definitely a softer wood!

TY for the description. Still looks like tough wood to cut when dry.

Which is exactly why I’m getting after it while green! I’ve done dry cedar before and it’s twice as hard to cut.

Not run mine in awhile got a decent size butt log to buck up just need to make a new chain up been lazy lol

I got some hardwood today so I was able to see how my 036 hybrid would do, It might look a little slow but that's very dry oak and it's hard as a rock.

I'm running 40:1 with stabilizer and octane boost, non ethanol. Maybe a little heavier (32:1) due to error of having a little bit of mix left in the jug. I started using Echo Red Armor this past summer.
I cut the flap off the governor, so the spring is still there but does nothing.
It does rev out well , I used Stihl OEM rings for the build. It's a little more violent than I expected, definitely wont be running this for longer than 4 hrs at a clip!

Looks fast enough for me! Its hard to get a good self feeding chain in super dry wood.

I really loved this one. I know the big money makers are the new stuff but really enjoyed seeing the old Homelite roar to life.
