Well, my search for a builder is over... HOORAY 288!

I bet a bigger rim would separate them

Forgot to mention they both have 8 pin rims

Oh ok well that's plenty lol. Bigger bar!! Lol . I still need to put a 36" on mine. I know it'll pull it

I may have just the ticket, I’ve got that 37” on my 394. Only problem is I don’t have a big enough tree on the ground for cookie cutting with that bar.

You gonna gotta stack some together. It’s for science

 

[Daserlon]

Looking good guys. Gotta love the 288 sound!

Looks great guys nice work.

You sir have a point. Round 2 is coming if the weather allows Joe any time off.

Looking good guys. Gotta love the 288 sound!

Thanks Dale, hope you like this cylinder. It feels strong to me. Joe’s Saw desperately needs a muffler mod. Bet your cylinder does even better with a free flowing muffler.

Looks great guys nice work.

Thanks Mike. We really appreciate the guidance you provided along the way. We can only get better with experience and I think Joe did really good job waking that cylinder up.

I have a 32, 36, 37, and 42 I just need to strap one on it. It had a 28" techlite on it now

 

[XP_Slinger]

Oh and....HOORAY 288!!!!!!! That frozen sugar maple is some nasty stuff and they both chewed through it like champs.

I bet 32” feels good. Beyond that is 394 territory for my saws.

That cylinder will run better when the ring seats too. I usually run 7 tooth sprocket with bigger wood and we're at 4,600 foot elevation, thats not super high but..., so a little extra grunt dont hurt.

 

[XP_Slinger]

I’m going to try a 7 pin on mine. Too me, my 288 has more potential than the 8 pin is allowing in that miserable log.

You'll like it. You can dawg it in harder

That’s what I was thinking . I know my ported 372 ain’t slow with a 7 pin, don’t see why a 288 would be any different.

Josh and Joe you men did a great job on both saws and you get better with experience it is a great Teacher so just keep on grinding .

I dunno all I've ran is a 28" on it. Just wanna see how well it pulls a 37"

Doesn't hurt to get lucky either, right Mike

Sounds like a video been a while since any of us have heard your rattler 288 scaring stihls away.

Funny moment: my phone just auto corrected “stihls” to “stinks”...lol! All in good fun Stihl bros...carry on
