Friendly Chain Competition

[Tree Sling'r]

I think you guys will find you can run your stops lower, especially if you're 1/2 or better back on the tooth.

I was thinking of that, but I was also considering that fact that what may work great with one of my ported saws may not with the saw being used for the competition, only because I know nothing of that saw.

Going to be tested with Matt's ported 562.

So a pretty strong 60cc saw should pull just fine if rakers were a little aggressive, you think?

It will be pretty strong for a 60cc saw. Cuts a little better than a stock 372 or so.

Why's that?

Why's that?

He's just eaten 4 7-layer burritos in one sitting.

At least you're staying positive.

 

[mdavlee]

At least you're staying positive.

I figure on placing into the top 15 or so out of 10 chains.

 

[Metals406]

Lawl!

,i am thinking my thinning the side of the raker may bog the 60cc down ,if i run my finger across the raker tip it flips the cutter up real easy compared to a stock raker

I have never ran a 562 ,but i know my ported o36 i had and my hybrids are nothing alike for tourque and chainspeed ,what i am used to cutting with

is this going to be a softwood log for the test ? would setting up a full skip chain help a 60cc for power with the 25 inch bar ?

I think Matt is looking for something other than concrete (Osage) to run in.

Soft wood is relative.

I don't know what any of the fancy stuff does, I just think it bad A$$ to have a cool looking chain. Yeah, I'm one of those guys.

If the raker is too square on the front it will be digging in soft wood.

 

[Trx250r180]

well i may win if all the guys that make the figure 8 drive links break the chains lol

I actually know a guy that used to build 3120 drag saws ,he works at the husky shop at bottom of the hill from here ,he may be able to tell me what to do to make a race chain ,he used to hang out with the walker saw shop guys in canada

It will depend on the wood and raker depth. It should be fine as long as it's in a softer cant.
