Different opinion.
He's probably right though.
I'm sticking to one powerhead and hyperskip chain emoji6.pngemoji106.png

It's not so much a difference of opinion but rather a difference in preference, there may be a number of good reasons for preferring one power head, simplicity and capital cost being a couple.

 

We had a thread a while back on whether one could run different power heads at each end but in essence it's similar to pushing a broken down car, you may be big and beefy and able to exert  a force of double what an 8 stone weakling can but would you turn down their offer of help. as you will both be working at the same speed because the car won't move any faster even though you may be doing double his work he is still contributing a third of the total.

Whats the diameter of that log? I find the 635 struggles with anything over 1t. Trick of the camera?

Yeah the wide angle does make that log look bigger than it is. I think it was only 37inches in diameter from what I remember.

 

Plus the messy guide bar marks are from a smaller saw as the chain on the bigger saw got chewed up by all the nails so that makes the stem look bigger too.
