My chain won't self feed! lol
Thought some might find this an interesting comparison just farting about doing some cuts chain is new out the box Stihl picco 0.43 safety chain.
The softwood is our native Cypress not exactly speed wood having the same janka hardness as White Oak but was only thing I has on hand that I'd call softwood.
The hardwood is Narrow Leaf Red Ironbark.
I don't know of a slower way to cut hard hardwoods than dogs off self feeding personally would be a good way to melt a saw lol
A bit of pressure with the dogs calms the chain down stops it skipping over the wood and allows it to it take a bite.
I don't normally try to rip cut Ironbark with a ms170 be a good way to blow one up as you can see in the vid lol
thanks for the vid and education. Always looking to learn more.
aussie/desert/dry hardwoods are special…not enough bite in the chain, and it skates, too much and it stops! :-D makes me wanna get the 3120 out and make some more red dust…right now I have a little live euc to fell, a treat!
Do you aussies almost always cut already dead dry stuff?
