385? Who would own such a POS? Lol

That's got to be the biggest design failure I have seen in sometime. If I owned a saw that ugly I'd paint it black and hide it somewhere in a dark place.

And they are so flipping slow hahahaha

But they are all highly modified and resemble little of the saws we buy from the shop and work with.....no relevance there.

I agree. I mean what sort of tightarse wouldn't spend the extra few bucks and get a 390XP instead?

You don't call. You don't write.

Didn't you read my post earlier about filing chains? It's all a corporate con job to sell more files.

I'll call, but I wonder what it will cost? I'm a pensioner on a budget you know. It would be cheaper to fly here Matt. Lol

No, I never photosheeped it. That teardrop clearing is where my potatoes are planted. The sun shines here 24/7 . The Land of the midnight sun.

I see your potatoes and raise you 140 acres of the *******s Uploaded live as we speak.

Potatoes all day. I'll be seeing them in my sleep dammit. I've looked at over 3000 acres of potatoes in the last two days. All sprayed off and ready for harvest. Exciting stuff. Not.

looks like they are growing weeds in silt !

Nah what happens is that they spray the tops of the plants off with a desiccant called Diquat. This is pretty well only effective against broadleaf plants so it leaves all the grasses behind, albeit a bit yellow and touched up. This mob are the biggest potato growers in the country so not everything is spotless

Sounds like we heading 4 a GTG " Build off" lol!!

In my limited experience with ported (modified) saws is;
The average user is wasting his money!
Most landowners , firewood guys in my area are "average" at best with a file!
Users like that would do better learning how to use a $3 file, rather than spending $$$$$ on a port job that they think will dramatically increase their productivity.
A ported saw 4 these guys will only create rapid chain stretch, and bigger shoulders on the bar rails twice as fast!
Now I have learnt some filing techniques from some of the best operators this country has 2 offer (lumberjackau,ausneil), yet it's obvious to me that, a correctly filed chain, on a stock saw,
Will provide more productivity, than a poorly filed chain on a ported saw hands down!

Yep that's about it, I say the same thing to different chaps in the firewood game,,,, and a couple of racing gentlemen.
You won't learn much from me mate, i'm way behind the times and as for that lumberjacau bloke, the only time I can catch him is when he stops for morning tea.
but thanks for the kind words anyway.`

A good, ''strait to the point post'' Jason, it may hurt a few feelings but, not mine tho.

Do you guys just use a file, no guide? Same with the rakers? There's definitely an art to that [emoji2]

Basically your right, there are a few ways to get a simular result. Some of us use different files, some used more than 1 file on the same chain, some just rub up the front with a few swipes and so on.
Basicly its a personal thing, I guess knowing what edge suits what timber and what event / block size ect make a huge difference.
Most important thing in racing is to know exactly what the chain is going to do before the chain touches the wood as we bore 1st with toys that has had some fiddling done.
Practice, practice and more practice, simple.
