Oh yeah! My Goto saw. My baby. Lol
Much more enjoyable than any other saw I have run. A grand slam homerun in game 7 of the world series. Lol

So you need a Cubs sticker for her? lol

I'm glad you like the "drivability" of the saw. Ease of use, reliability, and wanting to grab it first is what's become most important to me these days. I could care less if another saw is a bit faster than what I build. It needs to be enjoyable to use, and it seems like I hit my mark with your saw Jeff.

That is exactly what I want in a saw. and easy to start. I will compromise on speed any day for a saw that will consistently start with 1 or 2 pulls.

Docs 026 always starts on first or second pull.

@RI Chevy Jeff I'm J E A L O U S that you were out cuttin' today and I was behind a desk THINKING about being out cuttin... damn you!
Looks great -- it's a lot of fun when you bring more than one saw to a job and have a ball running your toys.
Also great when you can do a favor for a friend and scratch the itch to run some saws.

If I was free today and knew you were at it I'd a brought the murder 346 to join the Mofo 026 and see what the hell flies! A little Stihl / Husky swordfight w/ those two. I would put my money on the mofo though... the murder 346 is an OE w/ NE OEM top end and muff mod plus rebuild of seals / lines etc. by nmurph (Neal Murphy -- haven't seen him on OPE and I think he's gotten quite scarce on AS. Great guy). No port work but she's a little pisser of a 346 nonetheless.

440 does seem grabby especially when felling that tree. I'm no expert by any means, but from watching your vid it looked like you may have had some binding happening from when the saw was turned on a 45 toward upside-down to cut your notch -- the source of the binding might be force on the powerhead perpendicular to the cut (like bar wagging back and fourth metronome like). I'm thinking if you used your dog and rotated on it for that cut and the straight part of your face cut to complete the notch you might have avoided some of the "wiggle" that was going on there... not sure though as I said I'm no tree fellin wiz... just a tree fellin futz...

Still jealous... hold on while I go fire up a saw and catch a wiff of some klotz exhaust so I can keep calm and focus on saws...

If I'm lucky on Friday I may be heading to NH to help a co-worker with a bunch of oaks at his new property. He's using my 350 right now and pretty excited about the saw.

Enjoyed the vids. Keep 'em comin!

Lol. True Dat Eric.
I was having a chain issue. I am not a huge fan of the 2 in 1 file system. It takes the rakers down to low.
I gotta fix it. Go old school on it. Lol
I did have a blast today. All by myself, freezing my b*lls off, cutting like a MOFO. LOL

jeff i think we have problems with file size and need to switch them out

I like my roller guide and oregon center drop depth gauge tool. you can check your depth gauges quickly and file your saw teeth a bit more if the chain gets grabby and you went overboard w/ the flat file (which I tend to do from time to time... but I cut a lot of pine and a strong saw throwing big pine chips never gets old....

Sorry, Murder 346xp is taken and spoken for.

 

[RI Chevy]

The 2 in 1 cut my rakers down to low. That is why I like to sharpen and cut. When it stops cutting real good, I hit the rakers with one stroke. Not sure these 2 in 1 files are accurate. I will check tomorrow.

 

[dall]

mine is at 25 i checked them

 

[RI Chevy]

mine is at 25 i checked them

You have the 7/32" or 13/64 files in yours. I bet you have 13/64" files.

 

[dall]

[RI Chevy]

Ok. Cool. We gotta get this figured out. Lol

Got any vids of that beast cutting? The chain looks pretty fierce on that thing too...
I think the Stihls would be nervous near that freakin' thing...
