been running this 24 on my new 4218 for about 5 cords so far no problems, it honestly cuts and oils the bar good, had to drill new oiling holes, air intake mod, muffler mod, ngk plug and tunned the carb a little shell hit 12 grand and its not lean, have a 2050 on the way that will be getting a 28I see an old thread has been re-visited. So how well does that saw pull a 24" bar in 42" of Oak or any wood actually....
Well 4 trees over 24 inches in less than 60 seconds. Heck that must be the next Timbersports saw.
Nope but i think it dose run this bar pretty damb good for what it is, just cuttin our own firewood and just having fun, i treat it half decent and dont push it to much just let it eat away
It's a 42cc saw, no one is buying that thing is adequate to pull a 24" bar in soft wood let alone hard wood. the logs you have your saw sitting on are 10" or under in size. Doesn't matter how long the bar is if it's not being used. Put up some videos of it cutting.
I had a friend give me 3 bars off his old 039. My MS290 came with 3/8LP, so I put a standard 3/8 sprocket on it and could run the 20" bars he gave me. One day I rocked the chain and was too close to finishing up, and too tired to sharpen the chain. I needed a longer bar and had the mill on my 660. I grabbed the 25" bar for the 660 and put it on the MS290. I was surprised it pulled the bar well. So, if the bars are compatible, yes it will work. Now, I don't dog my saws, and I run them razor sharp. It sounds like your guy doesn't take that care. If you put an overly long bar on it, and he's used to just pushing harder when the saw is dull, you could be looking at killing the saw. Will it work, probably. Should you do it, I don't know?
I call that collage.. learned a lesson and it cost money and or time. Still have the original chain that came with my 390xp, it's bent in a "u" and not in a good way. Let someone else run it, tree went over the wrong way and bent the bar and chain nearly in half. Lesson learned, and I keep it as a reminder to what happened that day. Collage... I got educated and I'm glad it just cost me a bar and chain.
College? I believe you misspelled it twice. Not to be picky, Sean, but it took me a couple of reads to figure out what you were trying to say. I must admit (and agree with you) that I never learned in college much of anything that helped me operate a chainsaw. I studied mechanical engineering formally for five years.
Spelling isn't a strong point for me. Never has been. Doesn't help the spell checker on my phone screws up as often as I fat finger the wrong button. Point of what I was trying to get across is, we remember the lessons that cost us something. The college reference is something my old man used to tell us. Hard lessons are like college, expensive.
