Husky 66 i went through and got all up to par.
BGD- .020 squish 205 psi comp.
MM- worked under stock deflector, still has screen.
TA-.030
No grinding on this one, was building for a guy just for a stout firewood saw. Backed out, lucky me i like this one fresh 3/8" .050 LGX
This was a walnut tree i dropped at @StuntCockWelder house.

That’s actually a Carya ovata or shagbark hickory. Very hard wood, much more so than black walnut.

Ur right! I had a brain fart. Doesnt stand a chance against an LGX though. Cuts like butter.

I think Shagbark slows my saws more than any other wood … Walnut is fairly soft, but I can cut Black Locust faster than Shagbark!

What about when it's seasoned, let the sparks begin lol.
I cut a couple tanks worth today.

Hickory sucks the most to cut in the winter when it’s frozen. Fun stuff. Lol

I think they accidantally designed these echos to match chain vibrations and amplify them. I need to find something else to use other than this jumpy chain.

I've found winter shag bark sucks the oil off the chain and about seizes it. Not much problem with summer hickory other than the hard bark.

As far as hard wood goes, I've found hedgeapple isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

That is not simple to answer. In most cases, the Hickory is harder to cut. However, if the Locust grew in sandy soil, it picks it up, and will literally kill your chain if you don't cut it the first day. I have seen Black Locust do that, just not often.

I haven't cut much hickory, and I haven't cut any black locust that wasn't in sandier soil. We have a good bit of it at our place and I've been cutting a lot of it because of storm damage, which is a bummer because I don't need it and didn't want the trees down. This one split into two leads about 30' up and the main split off, the natural lean of the other was towards the woodshed so I dropped it yesterday. It was a rather old locust for our area, looked like 50 rings when I counted, one ring more than me lol. Wish it would have been solid, kinda rare with locust. This cut rather easy, dead standing or laying on the ground and seasoned the stuff is very hard.

 

[MustangMike]

Seasoned it is very hard, but IMO, the fibers cut through easier than Hickory, which is also very hard (but not as hard as Locust). I think the fibers in Hickory are just tougher.

 

[huskyboy]

Locust is 1,700 lbf on the Janka hardness scale. Shagbark is 1880 on the same hardness scale. By comparison a doug fir is 660 on the same hardness scale lol. Of course growing conditions can change the hardness a bit, but this gives a good guideline.

 

[Nutball]

But how hard is the bark?

It just adds to the frustration of cutting shagbark hickory lol. Bitternut hickory by comparison is a bit softer wood and the bark is smooth.

Xtra sausage 7300 4.83/4.61 seconds.

7900 ported by me 4.73/4.69 seconds.

Tree monkey 7900 4.41/4.19 seconds.

7910/046 5.45/5.08 seconds.

Special thanks to the viking for letting me run some of his saws @SOS Ridgerider.

I was watching these vids again. These saws all seemed strong. But I think I can hear popping though... Is it timing advance? 7300

So by leaning it, does away with the popping?
Sorry. Just trying to learn here. I have "0" experience with limited coil saws...

 

[Nutball]

At least 20% faster than the non race version! And the 6t is still on it.

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice strong little saw...
