661 Oil Test 32:1 vs 40:1 vs 50:1 ?

[Bwildered]

I didn't say that at all..
The only one belonging in the joke section is you!
FYI KTM only reccomends 60:1 for 250 and 300cc bikes. All the rest of their bikes are 40:1 or less.
Everyone I know runs there ktms richer than 60:1 and these are Enduro guys!

Your circle of "everyone" may indeed have an oil & money wasting fetish, but they are a very tiny minority of the population percentage, you seem to understand oil immeasurably, English, not so much when you confuse "implying" with "say"
Thanks

Ironwood. I don't care where it grows. That ***** hard

True, but it rarely gets above 3-4'' up here.

Oak and maple grown north of the 45 parallel and preferably in a lake effects t snow zone are harder than hickory, locust and the like. Hedge/Osage orange might be harder, but I can't say because I never cut it.
The wood where I grew up in southern MI is night and day different to the stuff we have up here.

It's real tough, but if you cut it green it's not reall any worse than Shag Hickory, Honey Locust and a few others IMHO. It does put out more heat than anything I've ever burned.

Yea. 6-12" here. Occasionally 16". Too bad. Best firewood there is here. Sparks fly off the chain every time you cut it

Wanna borrow a 72" cannon for that project??

The big Burr Oak was hollow!!!

How much does that rig weigh? That would be a workout.

Yup..
Eastern HopHornbeam..
Rarely exceeds 10" dba, but tough stuff.. Add 10% density to that and you got Baux D' Arc...
"Hedge"
Too bad it's rare to find any worth milling..
That being said, it's all wood, and steel cuts it all just fine... LOL...

That bar sags like a limp wiener...
It's rediculous...

You can project all you like, but how about projecting something relevant to this day & age. Unlike your outdated ideas, something's have changed, otherwise manufacturers would be still recommending 25:1 oil ratios.

My... you have a big one... limp or not

Our trees suck...

I don't have firsthand knowledge of your trees... but, from what I've seen in my travels, your poison ivy and alligator snappers are about as nasty as they come.

Most importantly, oil quality.

We have a lot of those "Bois Da Arc" or Osage Orange trees. The Indians used the wood to make Bow & Arrows. The locals call them Horse Apple trees.

Do you have any Hercules Club trees in MO?

Got a scientific name for that one?

OK. Found it..
Prickly Ash..
Nope, don't got those here...

Oil quality really hasn't changed much at all since the 90's..

Discounting the past with ignorance of the present and how we got there is the height of stupidity.

But marketing has progressed nicely...
