Hedge, I got a message from Simon saying the 460 is almost done.
We're close enough that when I get it back, I'd like to run up and compare it to how a 7900 feels. Is there a Dolmar up your way or did you have to go to Springfield?
I'd be telling ole' Terry the stumpbroke 372 is like a eastern (blue) indigo snake, they eat them rattlers head first for breakfast.

I'm not a fan of the eight, but in the wood they will race in I bet everyone will be using an eight maybe even a nine on a saw or two. I always stop the saw with a eight to heavy handed I guess.

That's what impressed me about Stump's saws... You could really lean on em'... Even in big oak... First Huskies I could ever do that with... My 7900 can handle an 8 right now, but don't know if it would with a 28" bar on it though.

Not a big fan of the eight's either, I like to dog em in an pull on the handle. Eights are to touchy.

I'll try an eight on it since during the competition they won't be dogging them in.

You're welcome to come on up. I got some logs by the shop we can run em' through. As far as dealers? I got nothin'... I had to order mine from CT. Not a big deal since I've had to learn to work on the saws myself and got a couple good buddies I can bounce things off of when I get perplexed. I'll PM you where I'm located. Curious to see the 460 run. Good saws...

 

[Work Saw Collector]

I have a stock 460 for a bench mark. :msp_tongue:

That's right. I forgot you got one with a cool handle.
What size bar you running on that right now?

 

[Work Saw Collector]

25" with round ground regular RSC full comp.

 

[indiansprings]

That's the same set up we run on our 460. I get over as far as Jay on a regular basis, usually around once a month, I know I will be over there on the afternoon of May 19th.

That's just a pretty nice setup... I even had a Stihl dealer here in Springfield tell me the 460 was the best saw in their line up this year. Didn't have anything but good to say about it.:msp_thumbup:

Jay is the closest town to me.

I'd back that statement.

Bring that saw on a trip down and we'll run them.

Actually, you're close... The 660 is "one of those saws... The rest, I'm afraid, are "The Other orange SAW"...:msp_biggrin:

 

[Work Saw Collector]

One of those other saws is on my list 3120. One of these days I'll talk Wiatt out of his, I know he is wanting a 660 A little trading maybe? :msp_rolleyes:

C'mon Stephen... You gotta have a venerable 372... Everyone needs one of those! They're just in that angry saw category...

I have wanted one XPW after Ropensaddle got his new one, around a year ago I think. Then seems like they got to popular If I find a nice used one, maybe. Maybe not git one just for spite. :msp_tongue:

Really I would jump on a used one like an old girlfriend.

 

[tlandrum]

id be careful sending a saw with 8 pin on it,most of the wood i cut a 7 pin will do much better without being so touchy. when its someone else running your saw you want to make it as user freindly as possible. you might want to bring an 8 or even a 9 for playing in the square wood later on.

 

[atvguns]

seems to me that if the competition is to compare how good a job the builder did, all the saws should run the same size sprocket should fall under the same chain and bar length

just my 2 cents all out now so don't mind me
