I don't have a 24'' bar,,, just a 20 and 28. Mine will pull a 28'' pretty good with an 8 pin and a hand filed full comp LGX in bar length Oak. You cant push it though. I dont have a clue what it will do with a 24'' and RSC with a 8 pin, so Im gonna run a 7 probably.

..Of course, My saw ain't stumpbroke either!

 

[tlandrum]

the way i look at it is if you build a mean enough saw to pull a 8 pin then by all means use it. if its not strong enough to pull an 8 better use a 7. but i can just about guarentee from cutting this wood on a daily basis that with the bar fully burried with an 8 pin most time is no faster than a 7. its faster for limbing becouse of chain speed but it lacks the needed torque to cut some of this hard wood . i will have some very hard wood to cut. i will have atleast 1 hickory.

I'm with you on the 7 its all I run, I didn't know what you were cutting. I was thinking if racing in little cants 8 pin.

I'm setting here hoping the brown truck comes today sometimes its as late as 6:30, getting close to quiting time and no saw yet.

My wife and I ran into town to pick up 100 catfish and 50 red ear perch to replenish the spring pond and when I got home a guy had left a old Mall saw on the front porch. I think it is maybe a model 2.
It's in fantastic shape. I'll attempt to get a picture up later tonight.
The old timer/neighbor died about three months ago, we mowed his yard for nothing. I ask him one time if he had any old saws, he must have left someone a note.

Worksaw, if the 460 is back by the 19th, plan on a phone call in the afternoon, I should be done in Jay by 2:30/3ish. If you don't mind pm me your phone # and we'll sure run it.

[tlandrum]

Excellent. I'm glad to hear it arrived home safely

 

[sawnami]

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

Maybe also run them head to head and then swap bars and chains and run them again to take into account any possible differences in the bars and chains.

Or you could make them run Dan's chains from the last GTG. :monkey:

This one may not be as fast as the one I got yesterday, but hoping it turns out to be a real nice looking and solid runner.
