That's my theory lol
Very true. Ran two 661's yesterday of Julians. Both 404 RS full comp on 28" bars with 8 pin. The one saw had trouble stalling in out of position cuts. The other had zero problems. Was cutting a red oak that the bar was in full length by the bottom 6' of the tree. Very impressed with how they both ran. My dad couldn't believe how quick we could block that tree.404 rs out of the box is pretty rough, the rakers are way low. I have a new 20" 404 chain that I converted to square. But it still has a lot of the round hook.
It will pull the life out of a saw with an 8 pin
Better is one thing, faster is anotherYou think the .404 will be better and faster than 3/8 on a 20' bar?
Better is one thing, faster is another
For the first tank or two, 375 will be faster.
After that, 404 will be faster
Because of those two sentences above, 404 is better if your saw has the stones to pull it
Yes. Left cutter, right cutter then space to clear chips...repeat.What is half skip? 2 cutters and a blank, 2 cutters and a blank?
Squared 404 is faster than 3/8 rmIs 404 rs faster than 3/8 rm?
Squared 404 is faster than 3/8 rm
375 rmI bet but I'm not talking square. 404 rs vs 3/8 rm?
