My first new Stihl

[Evan]

I run full and skip on my 32 and 28 bars. I dont mind sharpening full comp. Its a stress reliever.

Full comp limbs better but skip will clog less in the cut when bucking passed the 32" tip
Full comp plunge cuts better. I find i plunge cut quite abit to keep from pinching the bar while bucking.
Both work in fir pine type stuff.

Oiler upgrade sounds good! Can you just add the parts to that oiler, or do you have to buy a complete one? Will the 1128 series pump or parts work?

IIRC just change the pump to a HO. I have not done mine yet but have the pn# and will get it on here later.

Thr control bolt and ramp is a bit cheaper and that's the only advantage to doing it that way.
