Nice paint job on that 360

Been in the family since it was new. I found that it cuts best if I use the falling teeth to ratchet it into the wood. You can put as much force on it as you want and you can't stop the chain. Gear drive at about 3:1 with 1/2" chipper and a .050" raker depth. You just can't lay it on the wood and have it cut fast. Just can't get enough pressure on the chain without ratcheting.

I say that we attach that 360 to the front of a 950 Cat, have one of our fine engine tuners get it turning about 10K on nitro. I think the Cat will supply ample downforce.
