Hurry up! I wanna see if these AF type saws is any good. :blob2::blob2:

They're good enough that me& a couple woodburning pals are completely stocked for years. While i was doing all that cutting i haven't a clue how the extra pound it weighs will affect my spine as i age, but it probably traumatized it. Also probably wasted 30 minutes of my life using the saw instead of it cutting slightly faster so i could set it down and turn it off faster.
 
Here's the stock video and the ported video so you won't have to dig around.

The chain is a bit too aggressive for a 64cc saw. It's the one I run on my ms460 so the rakers are a little low. It would probably cut a little faster with a less aggressive chain.

I've got two more videos, one in smaller hickory and one in peckerpole pine. The pine is for the Woodchucker. :rock:

The next one is still processing.
 
That's impressive. Your going to make everyone run out and buy a MS390 now. Stihl may have to release a limited edition Mastermind MS390 in your honor. :clap::clap::clap:

That's a great idea. Of course they don't make MS390s anymore, but i might consider parting with mine for $12,000ish. Autographed by Paincow is substantially more though.

Do I get Kombi in the deal? Either Kombi or the 12 hp B&S, I heard you recently upgraded to a Kohler Command Pro OHV twin.
 
Your stock to ported video is one of the best examples of why everyone should own a ported saw. Awesome job! Now I just need to get one of my saws ported.:msp_thumbsup:
 
My bobcats don't have Kohler:poop: Paincow uses Kawasakis.:rock:

Were you a samurai warrior in a previous life? Know anything made in Nippon that isn't golden in your humble and rice wined opinion?

Kawasakis do seem like they might be the next big thing, but they are not there yet. Some goofy intake/filter designs.
