Stock chain cuts alot faster than that...its either on backwards, dull as hell, or the rakers are way too high.

It should do hard would too. Walnut elm ash is some very hard wood and ur saw should get through it. Id go buy a new chain even a crappy menards oregon and youl se a difference in how the saw performs. I heard a lot of good about efco saws the bad part about them was getting parts took a while

Yeah that chain is shot and has been filed with to big of a file. A new chain and your saw will cut just fine

 

[KenJax Tree]

Whats ur plans with the echo you had on the vid

That wasn't my video...and the 355T i had i sold....i replaced the top handle twice and the chain brake and got tired of parts breaking. It was a decent saw but not built for everyday hard use.

You see more than I do.. I'll admit to using to big of a file couldn't I just grind down the steel in front of the saw for now to make it more aggressive?

I took a spacer out of my chain brake and it solved many issues with the lever. But havent had a problem with mine yet just hate the ignition advance crap

I used a 5/32 file to sharpen this last time I had been using that electric grinder I don't even know what size that stone is bigger than I've ever used before though
