it never ends,some times it slows down a lot. ive been killing anywhere from 40 to 80 trees a day so i dont have much time for building toys right now. i only have one on the books for right now, when i get it done ill be back to building my own 066 for resale not build off. lol
 
I don't have a 32" bar. :(

Damn chainsaws. Does it ever end????? :help:

Randy i've got 2 32" and a 36" bars in stihl mount. I have and .050" and a .063" on the way. I've been thinking of a 2188 lately but another saw i've wanted for a long time popped up so its pushed back to maybe next month or christmas present for myself.
 
Im sure with a bigger bar, it would pull from it, or at least it should.

BTW, How many seconds was your saw behind mine in the last build off? :D

i dont recall, but im sure it wasnt as far behind as your build off saw was to my XPW:msp_wink:
 
Not all saws were built by their owner. All I'm saying is that I can often take a saw and cut a faster time with it. You really have to feel and listen to the saw.

Maybe if you had somebody else run your saw, you'd find out that 3/8s is faster on a 346.

I can officially say I had a GREAT time at my GTG and we just built Wild Things...Was it as big of a deal as you guys have made these other build offs, no probably not...

Lots of things can be said about the person running the saw though...It does make a difference when you take a guy that has had many hours behind a saw of any kind...Be it racing or working, it makes a difference...

One person that comes to mind ran Arrowheads WT and out cut the next fastest time (with the same saw) by 4 tenth of a second...

Some saws are hard to judge just how fast they are due to what they are....If you are old school and run torque monsters, you are probably not going to take a ported 066 and think it truly compares to a HL 750...Or on the other hand run a 090 and think it will out cut a good woods ported 066...

These build off need to stay GOOD FUN or they are not worth doing...People are gonna cheat (within the rules) to win when ever they can...It is just part of it...Just make sure if you are building something for someone else that has spent their hard earned money on a saw they expect to get a good service life out of, they do...

I've got a nice cylinder supposed to be here Monday, but I still have a bunch of small pieces to gather up as well. I guess I'm one step closer :)
