I know an old logger, (good friends with my boss) that takes the dogs off all the saws he buys so the help cant "tear the mounts out" as easy. Alot of guys around VA that arent all GOL'ed up cut back bar more than they do normal cutting. Now dogs are just as useful when back baring, but with an aggressive chain, the dogs arent all that important, the saw will pull/push itself through the cut in a timely manor. I cant do without them though...

I dont see how taking them off would affect the out come of a worker that is always getting hung up & then jerking the saw like he is playing tug of war. Seeing a man do that makes me feel sick. Even though I pulled an old 046 in two once, it was a quick fix...

Fastest 70 cc class saw I ever had was a 120 super, and it had no dogs on it. Didn't need them--just ate right through whatever it touched. Dogs are most often used by people who don't know how to file so they can push dull chains through the wood.

You ever put in an undercut over your head with a 395 or similar sized saw? Without dogs?

It would actually be "pull the dull chains through wood" that is because the rear handle puts much more force on the b&c compared to the handlebar. therefor you would be pulling on the rear handle. . .

but you really slipped up there space, that #### sounds dumb as hell....

They need to learn from guys like us who know saws and know how loud they should be, oh yeeaaa
