Some run .058". 1/2" on some bike saws. .404" .080" harvester bars are run as well.3/8 .050 on most, except in bike saws, which I believe run .404.

Redbull might want to give it another try not me.IMHO, try K2 .................. it is a frontrunner for sure !!
PM me your address and I will send you the rest of my H1R
Think I might try 404 on my 660. Probably a 28" Cannon.There ............. now you cant say that anymore
They occasionally ship me some from Portugal. Ever seen those?That's the same brand I use. Good ones.
Keith, if your saws are bogging I'll let you borrow my MM660. You'll finish faster with time for a cold one.That was my thoughts but just makin sure. Thanks
You can use a reg bar if .063 and change to a .404 tip and drive sprocket .i have converted 3 bars over now .Think I might try 404 on my 660. Probably a 28" Cannon.
Lol!! I may have a MM390 that will probably make you drain the gas out of that 660 and put it on the tradin post!! Lol!!Keith, if you're saws are bogging I'll let you borrow my MM660. You'll finish faster with time for a cold one.
The old growth here is almost always unsound for the first 6 feet, especially hemlock. Our trees are also much shorter than yours.here is some second growth cedar out behind my house ,old growth around here is 6-8 feet across ,that is a 32 inch bar for reference .,seems like the 4-5 footers always have rot in them when fall them ,so lose 8 feet or so of first log
Had to rip the bottom one down the middle to move it with the skid loader ,got a lot of nice trim boards out of the rotten log still ,was all clear tight grain no knots View attachment 447402 View attachment 447403
I run 16" and 24" 3/8 .050, every thing else is 3/8 .058.Do you use 3/8 in .050 with anything ?
How many DL's ?
Was the test you are referring to the one that also noted that H1R required a large tuning change?Not the results I read. Best I remember H1R burned the cleanest compared to the others.
I've never used H1R. I've used Belray mc1+ many years ago in my CR dirt bike.
I've used mostly 800 off-road in my saws and willing to try something else.
LOL...I wouldn't argue with that. That's why I'm getting a 390xp if I can ever get if off lay-a-way. Too many family expenses (two girls in college and one in Jr. high). I wish my Grandpaw, deceased now, could have tried my ported 660. I think he used a Homelite during his Logging days....cross-cut saw originally.Lol!!

I bet they would too. They were workhorses in their time though.LOL...I wouldn't argue with that. That's why I'm getting a 390xp if I can ever get if off lay-a-way.

It could have been....not sure. I went from using Stihl 2-cycle oil to Redmax and a few other "chainsaw" oils. I've only been using 800 off-road lately but I might try the other oils AS members have recommended like Mobil and K2. I doubt my limited amount of saw-time will ever make a difference though. I don't use a saw professionally like you and other AS members. I do appreciate the knowledge and input though.Was the test you are referring to the one that also noted that H1R required a large tuning change?
Its up to you, but I am willing to square file a new chain for you.I run 16" and 24" 3/8 .050
I get longer life out of square than round. We milled with a 37" skip square yesterday on a 394. Jason had bought some R50 and it was smelling good around that wood pile with that and the VP fuel Rodney had.
goofy is not true square ,gives a curved side plate ,the .404 holds the edge longer than 3/8 ,must be the wider kerf ,here are some files i piked up for Mike at my saw local saw shop ,6 sided ,these work pretty goodView attachment 447404 View attachment 447406 View attachment 447407 View attachment 447408
