- Both saws first drained of oil and gas.
- same stihl bar oil
-same bar - maul and I both have tsumura 36's. Some debate on if use them both or just use one and switch over. Ended up using same bar and switching.
- air filter cleaned
- 1 new stihl RS chain for each saw.
- one small warm up cut in cotton wood prior to doing the 2 main cuts. Everyone involved was interested in making sure all the i's were dotted and t's crossed.
Muff modded 661 50:1 H1R went first. I was cutting.
log 1 - 22.4 sec , log 2 - 26.0 sec
bar switched to ported 661, new chain used
Ported 661 32:1 H1R - I was cutting
log 1 - 22.0 sec , log 2 - 26.0 sec
Hedgerow: Fastest time with ported 661 using 32:1 vs ported 661 using 40:1:
40:1 was 9.3% faster than 32:1 in the ported 661.
bar already on ported 661 so we decided to do back to back.
ported 661 32:1 H1R - Hedgerow cutting
log 1 - 21.4 sec , log 2 - 25.0 sec
bar switched to muff modded 661 50:1 H1R (switched back to other chain) - Hedgegrow cutting
log 1 - 22.4 sec , log 2 - 25.4 sec
Next,
Switched the ported 661 from 32:1 H1R to 40:1 H1R (performed reset)
note - this cut was done after the chain had been used for a number of cuts. Namely the cuts shown (and more) in the very next post.
19.4 sec
The saw ran 40:1 H1R for the rest of the day. About half a gallon. A few people who ran the saw throughout the day, noted that the saw seemed to get stronger as the day progressed.
