Windsor 50 a

Couple guys asked if I’d give a half assed review on this stuff. Old stock from eBay.

 

[jakethesnake]

Test subject live oak. Likely willow oak. Not 100 percent on that

Stump is little jacked up but things went well enough tree went where I wanted it. Bar was too short. I’m not an expert so I’m good with this one.

One full tank through a 272 xp with a 20” bar. Green oak

 

[jakethesnake]

After one tank. No need to file at all. Stretch was very similar to Oregon. Had to stop once to tighten it. Chain itself did get pinched a couple times cutting off some heavily loaded limbs Bar was completely buried for most of the tank.

Chain self feeds well. Did notice some chatter. The bar tip was vibrating quite a bit when I cut some limbs in the 12 ish inch range.

Chips were quite thick so rakers /drags are low on this stuff. I noticed it stopped the saw a couple times. That’s not something that really happens with that setup. I couldn’t feel the vibes through the saw even with worn out av rubbers I’m thinking this stuff is semi chisel instead of chipper. Whatever it is cuts well

I did get a tank through a 346 with some Oregon stuff on it. To be fair the Oregon was .325 vs the Windsor 3/8 The Oregon was also chisel. The Oregon needs a nice little touch up / sharpening. This stuff seems the very same as when I started with it. Never hit any dirt today with either This stuff also cut the shaggy stuff /thicker bark. All in I’m liking this stuff very well. I’ll get some dead trees somewhere to continue this

Loaded limbs. These could really hurt someone. Stay safe peoples

In that third pic I had a you tube video flashback and thought you were going to drop it right in the truck bed.
