Makes sense Frankie. And Kevin... thanks for the vid. I watched a coupla German faller vids on the 500i a coupla months ago, and I definitely couldn't discern any "game-changer," properties just from watching the vids. I think that what we are all so excited about is just the fact that the stupid thing has fuel-injection, which, as already stated, may prove to be a game-changer, or may not. Of course... if we look at the automotive industry... it seems inevitable.
What is interesting is looking at how boring the video is that Kevin posted of the kid with the 500i cutting through the oak logs. How lackluster. He is probably using the garbage factory grind that Oregon has the audacity to call "square grind." What a joke their factory grind is.
The only two truely baddas tree-men I have ever heard of who were eccentric enough not to appreciate what Eric derided as "hot-rod," saws, are Stig and Redwood Eric. Having run truely professionally "hot-rodded" saws by both Madsen's and West-Coast Saw, I can officially say that both of these guys would seem to be either ignorant/inexperienced, or else, completely out of their minds, but for this: that a professionally sharpened saw is vastly preferable to a professionally ported saw any day of the week. RE porting though... ya definitely get whatcha pay for.
. I dont.
Cant post fb group videos here.
