Yes we can make that work. Was just thinking about not having to jump around so much. Usually when I watch YouTube I open the app and am not watching thru a link here.
I was watching the 12k and 13k wot ps-550 videos. That little saw pulls pretty good. I wanted to hear your thoughts on it based on the rich and leaner settings. The 12k seemed to give you more ability to push on it and smoothed out real good once you had in loaded well. Just a lot of blubbering. At 13k seemed a bit more smooth and clean then the 12k put seemed to not have as much pulling power. Thanks for posting. Also is that a gransfors bruks axe head in the splitting knot less oak?
I'll go through the clips and enable comments, may take a while though.
The Dolmar PS-550 felt guttles to me tuned at 12k, she was 4-stroking really hard.
I am in love with this one ever since I leaned her out to 13k, she is really hauling and that might just as well be a sweet spot for this unit.
What needs be said is that she is wearing a fairly worn chain, but we all know the hidden truth - triangle tooth loops are the fastest!
I have a brand new semi chisel tooth loop, courtesy of Sondre
@SOS Ridgerider , thank You - I will record the first cuts with that chain once I free up a log that is not dirt infested.
I don't really know the origin of my old faithful ax, I was always assuming it was made by any of many blacksmiths that were so common so many decades ago.
It may be a brand product, but I can neither confirm nor deny it.
I am sure you can get it fixed. I will watch the axe video later on today.
I have been well. Going to run my tree business again starting in the spring. Bought another truck to use a chip truck that has taken a bunch of time and money. Also getting ready for the new little one in January. Nate is just plugging away working. I have been on him about your full house chain and p and c kit to get it to you.
I am glad to hear You are well.
I wish only good things to come to Your expected offspring, and may he/she inherit his/her fathers passion for chainsaws - hopefully Dolmar branded ones.
I never wanted to bother Nate regarding the loop, thank You for doing it for me.
Sondre is holding on to some stuff for me.
He said he will be making an order from Nate and ask him to send the Full-House chain along so he can ship it to me.
I will have to look into getting some clean logs, or debark one of the ones I have, so I can test the E-EXL once I get my hands on it.
Nice Wilhelm.
I find very interesting the different Ax styles and splitting styles between us.
I prefer to split with rounds stacked up and I split like I am cutting up a pie. Not sure why, just the way I have done it for 40 years. It works for me. Lol. I find it easier.
You prefer to split with rounds directly on the ground. It works for you.
Pretty cool stuff
I used to stack rounds atop another before splitting, I stopped once I started getting large diameter logs.
Trust me, You do not want to lift a fresh turkey oak round, it is as heavy as lead!
The difference in splitting styles might actually originate from the different ax designs being utilized.
Splitting rounds into cake triangles makes sense and I am not opposed to it, I just got used to split the rounds into slices then split those into triangles and squares - one of my videos is showing my entire splitting style down to firewood size, I use the same ax for the entire process.
