What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Keith Gandy]

A gallon on 50cc saws is quite a bit. I used about a quart today might be done might not haven’t decided yet

A ported 390xp with a 28" full of fullcomp 404 noodling will swallow a gallon pretty quick

I’d imagine so. A 272xp will drink enough I don’t have any huge timber that I personally work on. I have cut up some 40 plus inch white oaks with it. Honestly could use a larger saw for those few occasions but it’s rare I ever need much more.

A 661c is a sipper compared to my 390 with 404. If I carry my 390, 064/66, 562xp, and 346 , a gallon is gone before I turn around if we r cuttin in bigwood

I usually carry a 346 n a 55. Only bring the 272 if larger stuff is involved. I have some other random slaying around I try to get a tank through here and there but those two are my fav

My 346xp is by far my favorite to use

Two tanks gas to cut this pile with a 562. Fast and fuel efficient.

Sunday we went through a gallon pretty quick in 48" red oak. Noodling and bucking cuts was 3-4 cuts per tank for the 372 and 385

2 gallons a day is a good bit. Not sure what Ive ran in my 390 with 404 noodling but a good bit

I forgot about a big silver maple about 2 years ago keith..we used probably 3/4 of a 5 gallon can.

That's rare for us..just a small gig we are.

And no ported saws either.

I was shocked at the difference of fuel consumption of a stock vs. ported saw. I guess it takes fuel to make power! LOL

 

[porsche965]

But shouldn't the production be more as well? Besides saving time?

Negligible in tree service work, the time isn't in the saws.

Logging...sure

2 seconds saved in a cut doesn't mean anything taking trees out of people's yards.

Fun...sure they are, we never finished a job super fast because I took one of my ported saws.

 

[porsche965]

Definitely. /\ But for me and busting goonies for firewood up to 60" it does make a difference. And a big PLUS---Ported saws are fun.

Was in the dealer the other day and he said.
"I have 4 gallons of this stuff and will never sell it, you want one"?

Went by the dealer today and he has given all four gallons away! Thanked him again the the gallon I received!

Fun for sure my dude.

But it's loud..and that's not cool trying to communicate with people.

I have fun when I cut firewood with my ported saws.
