Fast chain changing

[John Barleycorn]

Yeah, but I am sure he put it on backwards.

Christ there is some negativity floating around tonight!

 

Not recognising that is genius and saying he didn't do it properly is a bit like saying Muhamad Ali was a poor boxer because he held his hands too low.

 

I have looked for a vid of 'most careful and precise chain change, including all relevant checks', but so far I have struggled to find one.

I'd say this one is a bit faster....

That's an impressive link

I never even saw him roll up a fat one - let alone light it!

Well at the end of the day its not doing the job properly of changing a chain and doing ALL the things you should check, so from e technical point of view that should be a fail vs. someone who takes 5mins to do it by the book knowing that you could hand it to someone after and it would be safe to use and done correctly.

 

if you checked his saw you would find that in the 10 point something seconds he changed his chain and turned his bar in, the saw is in A1 working order, chain, perfectly tensioned etc.... these are the worlds best chainsaw operators. i believe there was a new world record set at the world championships this year in Croatia a sub 10 time.

I used to work with a logger in canada and he had a funny technique for putting a thrown chain back on without unbolting the side casing. he used to just put the chain on the top side of the bar put the rear handle on the floor with the bar pointing into the air and then flex the bar and roll the chain over the nose a little bit at a time then start the saw, blip the throttle and the chain would be back on, just thought i would share.

 

note: only really works on longer bars but all he used to use was 66 or bigger. A tough glove helps aswell haha.

Done with german efficiency:001_rolleyes:. Just a note to every saying in the real world, as part of the loggers they have to change the chain, turn the bar as the 1st discipline, then fell a tree with precision, sned a limb dolly for maximum timber value and cut throgh a partially burried log without hitting the ground. Well they are better than me as i could do these but not as fast. This is like the F1 of loggers and does attract the best logger in the world.

No it attracts people who want to compete, there will be very many very good cutters out there who have no interest in competing.

 

The winners of and title is only the best of those who compete.
