Credit goes to @Rob D at chainsawbars.co.uk Nice to see a company going a bit extra for the user
-
? Give Si at @Beechwood Trees a ring if Cov isn't too far from you. Your HGV ticket would be useful there I'm sure.

Hmm, looks like you've taken one person's inaccurate interpretation of what was basically some pretty shit punnage and ran with it. The "chicken shit" part was charming though.

Taking it a meter below previous points will drastically reduce the number of wounds for the tree to compartmentalize

It's because you're a thick jock twat mate ?

Give @Beechwood Trees a ring. They cover that area and are arb approved. -

I'll sometimes do it if I feel the kerf is going to close on the saw. You can feel it pinching the bar better and pull the saw out better than if you're dogged in.
-
Interesting point! ?
-
What does the manual say? I'd go with that. I've never seen any manual suggesting running a saw on tick over for any extended time. Sounds like something the bloke down the pub might suggest. People should be cynical about where they take their advice from.
-
On neutrally weighted sections of timber perhaps, but for swinging limbs and falling tops you'd be insane to sacrifice control just for a few less wedges in the final rake up!

My Y reg B2500 is a cracking little truck.

To keep the lads warm.

Yeah, I lied about the subsidence too. That orrible thing was blocking the view of my best work.
-
750kg braked is also fine
-
Oak removal this morning, subsidence report signed the death warrant. Gonna skid the trunk out for milling tomorrow with a digger.
-
Yup, I go from a topper straight to a 441 with 20" bar then 66 with a 30" bar. Sometimes like today I skip the 44 out altogether. Couldn't imagine having the patience to wait for a 50cc saw to struggle to pull a 20 bar through hardwood while on spikes...
-
More importantly who's using a 66 for cutting an 8" log for the chipper?
-
Even without it will still hold revs better, but yeah, you'd be wasting torque on a 7 I switched back from an 8 pin on my 30" bar, still can't figure which I prefer.
-
Put the same new 25" bar and chain on a 441 and a 661. Which is going to ring up that stem faster?
-
Good for you. That rule doesn't apply across the range though does it? For your argument to work the chain speed to torque ratio would need to remain constant through the saw ranges. You've simply picked the one example that supports your argument.
-
Are you genuinely arguing that on the same sized bar the larger powerhead won't be faster? A 261 or a 441 on a 20" bar? It might not be your cup of tea but there's plenty that prefer a saw that cuts timber quicker and don't mind the extra weight.
-
Because it won't be slower, it will be faster.
