well here we are again
cut down a new tree to use ,it is a off breed popular that is about the same as yellow popular on hardnest
with bark off it was 42 inches around so 13 inch is close enough
put a chain on the old 281 , this is not a race saw but i use it in the 0-5 cu stock class at a small show here, it wins most of the time but is along way from a racesaw
well i did 3 runs of 2 cuts , down and up
281 fastest run was 6.86 seconds
357 fastest time was 6.41 seconds
i was not that happy with the time but i brought my old 346 along ,it is stock but ask john it hauls ass pretty good .for what i have seen it runs quite close to the other ported 346's john has had here
346 fastest time was 11.49 seconds
so that made me feel better, to be honest i am not use to going so slow threw a cut
i am use to as soon as i hit the wood beready to switch now
plus the 357 seems to be getting faster the more i run it , i guess it is lossening up some
