Saw video thread

[sawmikaze]

I’m just gonna do one of these and shake my head . Lol

You'll learn one day young man.

 

[Stump Shot]

Yes, don't ever race a copper and an accountant and think that they will think you won, just by being first. Lol

 

[Deets066]

I'm gonna send my 365 to Mason for the next CT gtg. So he can beat up on all your 660's

 

[huskihl]

You said it. Not me.
Hope somebody brings bags of sand so they can contain the river

Come on Mason, you had fresh chain on your saw (and although round it is some new stuff that was supposed to be real good) and my saw had 2 tanks on it's chain. Yes, you have very good cant technique, but IIRC correctly, you won on one side, and we switched, and I won. Go check the vids.

In the large Oak rounds, no way your 064 was out cutting my 660.

I'm talking about a real test, in some hard wood, with the same B+C and we will see how you do.

In NY, with fresh chain, my 460 and Hybrid killed your 7900 and 372.

I'm not a cant racer, but on a large hardwood cut I'll put my 660 against you 064 any time.

And Jeff's saw did not do well with the belly bar, must have been the chain, but in the past Jeff's 660 has been a very tough saw to beat (IIRC you were unable to beat it with your ported Husky last year).

 

[RI Chevy]

They are just haterz Mike. It's all good...

 

[MustangMike]

For cant racing in softwood you want a bigger rim and fresh/sharp chain. Mason set his saw up for it, he knows I did not and just ran for fun.

Same B+C in hardwood Mason, when ever you are ready.

And to set the record straight, John's stroked 661 was the strongest saw in hardwood that I ran in CT. That saw was a Beast!

 

[Time's Standing Stihl]

You guys have waaaay too many excuses about chains. Holy fawk. Buy a new loop of chain and use the same bar. Then test in the same wood.


So simple, no need to make things difficult

I’ll bring a cannon 28” stihl mount bar with adapter. Anyone who wants to run can do so. No silly excuses from u two or me.

This is neither the time nor place for factual information...

That is exactly what we did at the NY GTG, and each owner operated their own saw. 2 cuts (one way each) in a dead, tough 18" White Oak Cant, it was a good test. We used Stihl off the roll RSL on a 24" bar.

One of the big factors (I had 7 pin sprockets). Larger sprockets do better in soft wood cants, but not necessarily in hardwood.

Different saws have been set up for different purposes (by their owners) so result will change based on the type of wood used in the test.

There is no "one best combo".

Just tryin to set the trash talking straight...
I admit when I get beat. And in CT, I got a whoopin. By any and all who I ran against.
But in NY, Mike Lee 660 with off the roll chain, 76dl was really scooting for an unpiped, regular gas, work saw...
Cant was a very hard 16" dried white oak.
Def Dave posted the times in the thread.

Jeff, your 660 also won in the previous years NY competition. I remember Mason was quite surprised his large Husky was bested.

You definitely have a strong saw there, but there was obviously something not right with the chain at this year's CT GTG.

No saw/chain combo is best at everything, but you and I generally focus on cutting larger/tougher hardwood. We are not real competitive in a softwood cant.

You tell em Aaron, I'm just too damn mad

I never said that but ok
