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?

Seemed like the 394 had a little more torque I'm not surprised.
I couldn’t tell much difference cutting wise between these two particular examples to be honest with you. They even wanted to cut at a similar rpm range in the wood according to the tach. The 394 has 103/120/82 for numbers. I never put a wheel on the 395. I’m happy with how both run though. Both great saws.

Hey guys first saw I built in a while figured I’d poke some fun with the description lol. Short story long. Had surgery on my hand and it’s worse then before. 50cc about the biggest I can run right now. Probably need 2 more surgeries. Had to port this saw right handed. Awkward :facepalm:. It’s for a buddy of mine though and I think he will like it. Y’all be cool!

Bar adapters finally came in to run the 41” cannon on the 2100. Had to go 14mm from the 880 down to 9mm on the husky. Saw came with a .404 sprocket so figured the combo is where a 2100 would shine. First time cutting with it after a rebuild and putting some heat through the engine. I’ll play with the high jet as it breaks in, but she runs strong! I can see why they were so broadly liked and respected.

Saw has some port work, timing advance and a dual port muffler. Doesn’t feel to big and bulky either for a 99cc saw, I really like it.

Throw a v stack on her with a UNI or K&N filter she’ll really breathe a hole lot better to

Nice. Sounds like a lot of timing advance. They are strong little saws for sure.
