To be frank and honest, I haven't decided yet, whether or not to buy a bucket. I know that straight canola oil will lubricate a bar and chain just fine, with no ill side effects. To state my position, let me offer an analogy.Stumper said:Jim, How do we make a purchase? Wanna sell me a gallon out of the 5gal bucket?
Have you made it back yet? Hahaha!Tree Machine said:In staying open-minded and objective, I'm going to try the Tack V-570 product. How do I do this without buying a 5 gallon pail? I asked the manufacturer for a sample. I asked if I could have a couple other samples sent out to fellow tack testers and Bill said that would be OK. The sample is 4 ounces, enough to do about a gallon and a half.
[As of Jan. 5 we're going to extend our stay in Fla and] I won't be able to test out the tack for another 10 days (no sympathy needed!).
I think that it is suggested that at the end of the season, before you store your saw, that you run a little petroleum based bar oil through your tank and saw.herald said:I've been following this thread, and it has had some really great info! I'm not a professional logger, but I do cut a decent amount of firewood every fall. I've got a mid-size stihl, and I'm very interested in the use of organic oil for bar/chain lubricant, but I'm concerned about the oxidating properties of vegetable oil...how feasabile is it for me to use vegetable oil when I only use my saw regularly about 3-4 months out of the year? Thanks in advance, you all are extremely knowledgeable folks!
Do ya think?glens said:In my opinion what you should be doing is to see how detrimental it is to flowability of the veggie oil when mixed in suitable proportionGlen
