Saw video thread

Ahhh... I C

YES. Farm Boss... Gotta be good for a tenth in the cut, No?

Here’s an old video to get back on track.
8 years ago in my saw modding infancy.
Just an engine swap, MS310 into an MS290.
Listen to that dog, Great Pyrenees named Stella.
Miss her. People stayed away from the house.

That’s a nice blade there

That was Pre-Square file too!

I brought 20 saws to the GTG, and you let anyone who wants to run them. There is wood set up all over the place, not just the cants. Then someone asks if you want to race at the cant, and you just pick up a saw and do it, no time to touch it up. It is all for fun anyway. If you took the time to touch up your chain that person + saw would no longer be up there

But in general, I set my saws up for cutting hardwood, not softwood cants. Others have their saws set up specifically for doing well in softwood cants (larger sprockets and steeper angle chain filing).

It is all good, but the peanut gallery sometimes makes too much of it. Loosing at the cant does not mean your saw is not a good one. Depending on the venue, we all seem to get our moments in the Sun … and in the Shade … just how it goes!

Part of what makes it fun is that no one wins all the time.

Ok cool I get it Mike that makes sense with that many saw's.
I recon cut the herd back to 3 or 4 saw's keep em sharp and smoke em! Sound like a plan? or is that just adding fuel to the fire lol

I plan to cut back, but not that much. I don't climb, but I take down trees, cut firewood, and mill boards. I like to have back up saws of each size, so if something happens to one, I just pick up the next one and keep going. Helps me keep my projects on the "time" budget, and since I don't do it full time, I can prepare for when I do a project.

If a chain gets dull or is rocked, it is nice to be able to just keep going. My saws are from 50 to 99 cc, and my bars are from 16 to 36".

You need a 064. Lighter than a 660 and almost the same power. No decomp is the setback if you want to raise compression though.

Same sprocket in every vid, different wood and chain. Doesn’t matter what you set it up for if the chain is sharp and the saw has nuts.

 

[RI Chevy]

I think you may be one of the exceptions Keith...lol

 

[MustangMike]

It would be good to see you at one of our GTGs.

 

[Deets066]

Nah, just a sharp chain and a decent saw. Sprocket really doesn’t matter much after that.

 

[RI Chevy]

You forgot tune Keith! Gotta have a good tune on the saw!!! Lol
I always tend to run my saws a tad on the rich side. Just me...

Gotta turn up your 026 to 16.2 if u want to race them 346’s.... lol

 

[huskihl]

Gotta pipe your 026 if u want to race them 346’s.... lol

Fixt

 

[RI Chevy]

346s are fast saws no doubt...
4 ports vs. 2 ports. I don't profess that my 026 will beat any 346. But I do love my Stihl nonetheless!!!

 

[MustangMike]

I agree, but I think the 261s are very competitive.

 

[huskyboy]

I think Jeff and Dan tested the 261 vs 026, what was the turnout of that Jeff?

 

[RI Chevy]

I can't remember. But my 261cm feels stronger and cuts faster than my 026. Both MOFOs.
Timed cuts, same stick of wood same bar and chain.

 

[MustangMike]

My MOFO 026 is a great running little saw, but it does not run with my MMWS 261, that 4 port transfer makes a big difference on those saws.

 

[rogue60]

Sounds awesome wish I could turn up invited at one of these chainsaw GTG's you guy's have over there would be a fun day or two for all.
May the sharpest lightsaber win at the next GTG!
