2 races, stock chain, and race chain, choose 1 or both,
round wood and cants, red oak and white pine.
28”d&c for the build off saws in big oak using stock chain.
14x14 white pine for the chain race. 60d-.050 common saw
92d-33rsc chain $20.25, all from the same roll

I will supply the fuel, 91 octane non eth mixed 32/1

Me and Heavy Fuel should be able to make that. I won't have a horse in the race. I may try and do a chain.

[HELSEL]

his buddy wayne slatton makes a fast chain too

Yep Wayne builds one of the fastest chains
that money can't buy. If he likes ya he
will give ya one. But he won't sell one. Yep
good guy. I think the other chain builder
down there is James George ??

 

[tlandrum]

i just might have to buy myself a 390 if i can find one in enough time to build for this build off ill be in.

 

[Stumpys Customs]

I should know in a day or two if I got a saw to build.

I may even try to build a chain.:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[HELSEL]

Hey Tree Monkey, what size saw is going
to be used in the chain race? That is
going to mean alot for setting the chain up.
Also what gear is it going to be running?

Wish I was closer as that is a format where the results mean something to someone like me...I'll certainly be following the thread. In particular the 28in B&C in big oak to test raw torque & power vs. simply chain speed & cutting ability in soft uniform wood; and also let those saws build a little heat in longer cuts. Of even more interest is using typical wear items like chain & filters along with fuel that most actually working that saw would typically use in a build that could be in fact used in the real world...nice concept...

(It would be interesting to have a subjective rating on how practical these builds are as well..do they blow crap back at you in big wood close to the ground? How about when making face cuts trying to get that extra ft of stump? Stuff like that...)
