How do we not have a chainsaw photo thread?

That's the same meaning, 3/4 and full! But it depends on what saw, the Stihl chainsaws come with 2 different wraps, husky just has the full side.

 

Stubby, I don't see leaving higher stumps as a problem, it means people can't muller the chain going too low!

 

My mistake, I thought a 3/4 went round and gave an additional grip on over the clutch casing. I thought you could get a full wrap which went right around and underneath, thought I'd seen that somewhere?

Go back a page and look at my 395 ..that's a full wrap .

[Spruce Pirate]

So full wrap on your 395 Stubby goes right around and underneath? Or is that just the attachment to the mount on the bottom of the saw?

 

I thought a 3/4 looked as wyk's picture of the 044 a couple of pages back, and the full went right the way under.

 

I can be quite easily confused.

Its just the normal attachment underneath . I know what you mean though some are almost full but not quite . In the big plan of the universe its not a big deal .

Maybe I should be on the over thinking thread. I think my brain's just getting confused as to what my eyes are seeing.

 

So, the question is: is it worth having the full wrap on a saw predominantly used for felling with only a wee bit processing from time to time?

The different manufacturers make different wraps, but the Americans seem to like the ones that go back over the cover, where as Canada gets the one that attaches to the underside at the front. This is also why I asked which saw, as husky only has the front mount (except the 562 wrap), but Stihl have both for each market

The two husks with there new Sugi bars on and a nice full wrap for the 372

Its personal thing really . If your bar is long enough and you are on the hurry up you can do everything from one side . Put you gob in with a pulling chain then stay right were you are and put your back cut in with a pushing chain .

Full wrap is all the way around - hence 'full' And 3/4 wrap(which Stihl calls a full wrap, btw) is the standard Stihl wrap, as seen on this saw:

That's one of the main reasons for a full wrap, so you don't have to fight a pushing chain on a powerful saw with a long bar. On a 60 or 50cc saw, it makes no difference. On a ported 70cc saw with a 30" bar, using the pushing chain can be dangerous, as well as more work. If you have the full wrap, you never need use the pushing chain unless you simply want to keep the chips off of you.
