Is the generator definitely running it at the correct speed?

Yes, it's a brand new 44kva deutz. Made no difference even when we had the tractor powering it!

Never heard of the H screw! Where is this located? 

Haha, yep I've been looking through the manual alright and haven't found that!

? LOL! OK I get it!!! 

 

On a serious note have you ever had this problem with a slow chain bar on a processor?

I would say, as Mr Stubby previously,  hydraulic filters an yr flow to that component, maybe a collapsed hydraulic hose  ?  Obvs you done a sharp chain.  K

Doesn't look to be the fastest cutting saw, seems pretty slow on this birch.

Jeeeeesus that's painfully slow. Tajfun 400 would do 3 cycles in the time that's done one!!

Possibly a new / better motor needed there , not expensive as that cut speed costing you money anyway, plus a flow check. K

Well the filters are realivity new, this made no difference. Will look for a collapsed hyd hose. Yep, running new chains with it too.
