Yah , closing the bar rail won’t help wear , at best it’s a band-aid. Sounds like incorrect sharpening and/ or depth gage not set properly causing that issue. I’ve got bars with over 100cord on em and they are still gtg. Make sure chain and is sharp, depth gauge is set to spec and don’t try to...
Jed ... One trick I learned is to cut thru the log , roll it over and then up cut , keeps the chain in the clean wood as long as possible. As far as ported saws go... I’d say that for a guy/gal that’s using the saw to earn their living or part of their living it’s a no-brainer. Whether it’s a...
With a Hotwoods Port job and tuned intake (k/n filter and outerwears) and tuned tube exhaust that saw should tickle 8hp or better (6.8 stock) with boatloads of torque - enuff to pull a 36” b/c thru 450 Janka hardness scale sequoia all day provided the Oiler can keep up. I know Madsens made some...
The only fir native to NY is balsam fir (Abies balsamea) Jedi although there are imported firs grown on farms for Xmas trees. The only Franken500i I’ve seen (and can’t speak to what Madsens does to their saws but have a good idear ) is the one featured in the latest video R/D adventures of one...
Sweet pics Jedi 💪 I looked up the genus , sequoia. I’d buck that timber all day - a gent could do Alotta testing of saws and chains in that size wood. Seldom do we see that girth-y-ness here in WNY. Thanks for the pics bro, always nice to see the product! Imho one of the most underrated...
You can ... and pay around $500 for a 100’ reel of RSLK. STIHL east coast prices. The same reel is cheaper on the west coast but they WILL NOT ship to you. I think I’m just going to convert the C83 x-cut into sqr/sqr. It’s a fast cutting chain in sqr/rnd configuration - here’s a video of a guy...
I’ve seen videos showing as much. The off the roll STIHL RSLK (STIHLS square ground chain) performed horribly. When trued up with file / grinder it whooped up on the round file. Now if I could just find a guy that could ship me a 25’ or 100’ reel of RSLK to WNY for a small fee on top and maybe 2...
Then the hell with doiturself then. 250hrs of free use , I’d hope the new one develops the same issue - you’ll come out light years ahead ... mark my words 😂
If they are furnishing you with a brand new unit and taking the old one back (after having used it for “x” amount of hours) straight up then it’s a no brainer. Somehow I doubt this is the case. (Pics viewed)Unbelievable that they welded the tank reservoir in like that! Should have welded...
