Hello, fellow Mainer. I'm sure your neighbors look down their noses at you for not burning hardwood. Much the same way people assume I'll burn my house down for burning white pine. Free wood just seems to burn a little warmer.
I have a "Gas Axe' just like that but it smokes a pipe. Just opening the muffler up makes for a cheap but noticeable improvement let alone a little port work. Good saw, Good day and good luck to you. Thanks for the vid.
Same here. I read on the forums a few years back that gutting the muffler/spark arrestor gains you about 15% more power. So a fella did that and it is _quite_ noticeable. Wakes the neighbors like a bastard but it's better for me.
I had to learn pretty early on in my chain sawyer'in that if the saw gets stuck and its gettin dark you can always remove the bar and chain and at least keep the power head. Now a days I just keep a spare saw with me at all times.
Nothing like getting stuck in the hedge tree twice. Call it a day, take the power heads, and come back tomorrow with the tractor and knock it over like you should've in the first place.
@@nelsonbrum8496 Yep. I once went back and forth between the two bars (as one got stuck the other unjammed, but they were never unjammed at the same time) until the cut was completed. When I originally changed bars I was only intending to cut the stuck bar free.
I can't believe they let you own one of them tactical fully automagic assault saws up there and kntuckiestand... Just received my sticker order. Thank you!
You talk real nice. I can't get enough of you even when you're discussing things I'm not particularly interested in. You've got such a fun way with words. Actually just a real handsome personality and way with words. You're like a real life Tom Bombadil with an, albeit, pervy disposition.
I was on a rental unit this whole week that would go into limp mode whenever it fancied. Turning it off and back on cleared it til the next time. I found myself saying "hello tractor" quite a few times this week.

You all need a Mcculloch 10-10 automatic from the mid 70s. I cut many many years with one of those and other than normal wear items it never skipped a beat. Lots of power too. Auto oiler with manual over ride for these very situations. Had the chain brake as well. She may have been a touch slower cutting and maybe a wee bit heavier but she was reliable.
Was so tired, started reading comments before I watched the video. Damndest thing though, finally understood what in the hell you were trying to do! And, OH Pup-Pup!
Squeeze bottle (salad dressing bottle works good) filled with kerosene or kerosene and oil mix, and turn the oiler all the way up, Give the bar a squirt when it binds and just before shutting down. If it's really sticky, I put the kero/oil mix in the chain oil tank too.
Larch is tough, with all the shmoo inside and all. Our vertical frame saw had to be watercooled when we cut logs of this stuff, else the stellite coated sawblades would overheat and get dull. And handling the wet wood was a nightmare. The sharp corners would could through leather gloves quickly, leaving splinters from hell in your palms.
Despite the powers that be having their hand deeper in your pocket, you're only paying an extra 8 cents for dinosaur squeezings than we are on the other side of the rock pile.

Ryan S - I know someone close to me who decided to chop a smallish piece of wood, but decided to squint rather than get the safetys: The very first chop popped him in the eye, resulting in double vision in that eye.

Darn x torq motors have such a narrow power band with no recovery torque on the lower end. I have a 372 pre emissions and also a 371 in the arsenal, some of the best saws ever made. Open up the muffler a bit and they really come alive. Many hundreds of trees have felled victim over the years. A little kerosene mixed in with the bar oil helps deal with those gummy cuts.
What do you mean by opening up the muffler a bit? Someone I know has a 372 pre emissions too, pretty great saw, blows electric saws out of the water with the torque. Might not always stay running (used to belong to an old log farmer), but when she runs, she chooches.
@@Vynncent its 1 part science 2 parts f*ckery... the outlet port of the muffler is too restricted compared to the exhaust port of the cylinder. There is a formula for the ratio of surface area/surface area, but most guys with the 371/2 saws have good luck with something equal to a piece of 1/2" emt conduit. Some guys even simply braze in a piece of said conduit to give the muffler a second outlet. If you have ported the transfers and raised compression then it works out to 2 pieces of said emt conduit. I go pressure gauge route and trim the outlet hole larger until back pressure drops to 3.1-3.6 psi while in a heavy cut. Carb need to obviously be adjusted when messing with it, and you need a good tach to keep the rippems in the proper range, but as long as your not pushing it too lean in the cut or over reving without load, you can play around without worrying about damaging anything.
AvE, we had similar problem with our dachshund. A friend gave us a bar of Margo Neem Oil based soap to wash him with and it worked. Great bug repellent and antiseptic qualities. Sold on eBay
Next time try mixing a little diesel in with your bar oil. I’ve found it helps with that. Also run the chain a little slack and let that engine rip. Don’t force it, let it cut at the pace it wants to
We have laws like that in Australia, it's much better to leave it there for the next bushfire than to use it for home heating apparently.. it's not like bushfires are a big problem here or anything
Try Carlton chains but sharpening with a file will kill a file quick.. I got a Carlton grinding type sharpener that's a bit like a cold cut off saw and it works a treat, I have half a dozen chains up and sharpen them all at the same time which if you keep the tooth length the same on all chains, it cuts down on set up time dramatically
Having plenty firewood here 👍 Cheap energy got banned by our Dutch politicians. So woodstoves are hot here 😑 Most people forget they need to buy wood if they dont own some trees. Oak does >€100/m³ and still going up fast. Madness.

Yes! 😂
Thanks for taking us along on the tree hunt. Hope Faisy feels better soon.
*Daisy
In Maine (USA), a local name for larch is hackmatack. Farmers used to use it on horse stall floors as it resisted rotting from horse piss. I burn it in the spring and fall for the quick heat.
Preferably before it's covered in horse piss
Hello, fellow Mainer. I'm sure your neighbors look down their noses at you for not burning hardwood. Much the same way people assume I'll burn my house down for burning white pine. Free wood just seems to burn a little warmer.
How do you burn horse piss?
Or taber-ma-nak trees, eh?
I'm a Nova Scotianer, same as a Mainer just with extra steps. And I've also heard it called hackmatack,
Nice flex on the gas axe. Glad to see you were able to find the Git-R'-Done edition that still runs on carbonated Dino juice.
I have a "Gas Axe' just like that but it smokes a pipe. Just opening the muffler up makes for a cheap but noticeable improvement let alone a little port work. Good saw, Good day and good luck to you. Thanks for the vid.
Did the same with my small Husqvarna and it indeed improved a lot. Also, the spark arrestor was holding it back as well.
So , trying to port an extorque might be a expensive bad idea . Pipe is not as invasive mod. Proceed with caution and learn from others mistakes boys
Loving my battery electric. Always starts on the first trigger squeeze, and outdoes my gas Husky.
