Stihl is much more 'prestretched' than Oregon. I run Stihl. State Parks runs Oregon. Easier to file after hitting some many nails in camp ground trees. I have two small cuts in the gusset of my Arborwear pants from a thrown chain. Way close enough.

One guy that filed his rakers really low also wanted to climb with a chain and 3 biners (2 on one side, one to terminate) for a flip-line, like some palm climbers do, and used "lotta knots", repetitive overhands in place of a taut-line hitch or blake's hitch. Only for rappelling out after...

I don't run excessively low rakers. But would be willing to try it as an experiment. If you don't push hard through the cut, with high chain speed, you may not rest on the rakers. There might be some technique to it that is different. When delimbing, blowing through the cut asap avoids some...

I could be wrong. The context pointed to low/ filed-off rakers being what they were talking about. I don't know if they use older chains on the landing for some reason, maybe due to poor/ dirty cutting conditions after skidding in logs. Smaller teeth get a bigger raker offset than larger...

I have heard it independently from people that have worked landings. I do believe it might work for that task alone. I worked with him for over two years at SPs. He had a guy working under him before that who wanted to run with no/ low rakers, but obviously couldn't buck or bore for snot. The...

I've never timed it, but 3-4" cuts don't seem like they'd eat up the available torque. Just have to use the appropriate pressure. Dunno. For 'bumping knots' on a logging landing, I hear that they don't even use rakers. Can't buck for snot, obviously. Hard to replicate limbing compared to cant...

Big cuts with bad grain/ chain interaction probably needs all the available torque, even with that size saw.

Rajan, what is you underlying reason for inquiry? To me, who isn't a super saw person, its less about species and which saw, as it is proof in the pudding. Depends on how much resistance compares to power. You'll pick up chain speed at the reduction of torque. If you still have all the torque...
