What do you all think of this? Instead of having a build off which I am all for, or in addition to, what if we have a chain race! I dont have the time to do another saw right now and there are folks on here that are not builders but can sharpen a mean chain.
Lets set it up like this, 2 catergories: round filed, square filed.
The chain is to be 3/8 chisel of any flavor and would have 72dl and have the 3 bars that go with them (.050 .058 .063).
Anyone can enter and sharpen in any way (file, grind, etc).
One powerhead will be used and have a non bias non competetor run the saw.
Run 2 timed cuts with 2 stopwatches.
Fastest in each category (round, square) will win a prize.

Good idea on the Poulan build off. I'll borrow Arrowheads Wildthing to enter.
Anyone tries to toss it though they might get shot.
might i suggest 2 power heads be used... 1 for square and 1 for round. that way 1 saw can be changing a chain while the other is cutting. still fair to both categories but won't take all afternoon!

Good call there Nathan! I just threw up the idea and figured we would work out the details later.

We can't stop here, this is bat country.
We can use any power heads or bars of mine. I might have a couple of 2159 or variants by that time. I'm planning on 50 gauge 20" on both. If anyone knows we're I can get a good deal on a decent bar (just about anything but Oregon) I'd be interested in a couple.
what's a good deal to you? I think the local husky dealer has 20in Total Super Bars for like $60ish... I'd have to check...

Chain race sounds fun I'm game. Would these have to be timber work chains or cookie chains? Or maybe we could do a little of both.

Fastest chain... What you use it for is up to you...:msp_wink:

60ish I think is pretty normal prices for a 20". I was hopping for around 45.
yeah... pretty standard. He might have some NOS windsors like the purdy bar that Matt got on his 540... He might also have some lightly used pro replacable tip total super bars. I think I saw a couple of the painted jred versions when I was there last. If he has any good deals on NOS bars I'll try an pick them up... if nothing else I can throw them in the pot for door prizes.
Speaking of chain... Is anyone planning on bringing a spinner to help fix and spin chain? I have a bunch of repair kits for just about anything but stihl chain... I can bring it along in case anyone has a broken cutter or needs a change in chain length. I just got some stihl green 3/8 chain I ground the double rakers off... probably make a round ground entry out of them.

Shaun, Good to hear from you my friend, I figured this race would get your attention and btw congrats to you and Kelly!!
I have a 20" large mount .058 and spoke with Ron last evening and he said we were welcome to use his minty 371. That being said I wanted to see what you guys think about this: MY 2171 has a MM and unlimited coil, his 371 has MM unlimited coil and no gasket. Both saws are pretty much stock so I would like to see these chains perform on these average everyday saws. I think 12" cotonwood cants will be in order here and I will need a small crew to run this race and i will line up a dry erase board and easel to display times from this race and the dollar race.
