    The giant LOG DOGS is what attracted me to the Dolmar, along with the reasonable price at the time. I own a Dolmar 64, it was before Dolmar was bought by Makita and mine was made in Germany. It can be upgraded to an 80 with an expansion kit.

    Called felling dogs out west, mostly used in felling trees. They hold the weight and position of the saw motor when making flat or angled cuts into the butt of the tree. Longer dogs create a gap between the saw motor and the tree for chip clearance. Most pro saws come with one dog but you can add a second. Can be used for bucking like you show, but if you have to lever and push the chain through the cut your chain is way too dull! Also makes the saw sit up with the bar above the tailgate for easier chain adjustments and filing etc. Fifty two years and counting working with chain saws.

    I've had several saws, from little to big. One was a little McCollugh Mini Mac or 120? It didn't come with spikes, but I installed an accessory kit that consisted of two pointed pin like spikes. It helped a lot.
    Surprised Taryl didn't bring up the crutch factor: Using the spikes to compensate for a dull chain.

    As a former groundsman in a tree service I can honestly say this is a good rundown on the dogs and the proper use. When you are undercutting on trees that have been fell it's nice to hang the saw on the bark to take the weight off your forearms too.

    • @jaxturner7288
      @jaxturner7288 3 місяці тому +4

      Sometimes the bar oil is thin enough to flow right through the pump if it’s warm outside and the bar oil is intended for cold weather.
      Sometimes the bar oil cap vent is plugged and the tank builds pressure with daily temperature fluctuations. Sometimes it’s sawdust debris jammed in the oil pump creating a gap and sometimes it’s just a worn out pump.
      It is definitely a nasty mess of a recurring problem all brands can suffer from and I too wish they would redesigned the system to be more reliable. 🤞

    • @poisonokie7502

    Taryl is the MAN, please make a modern Loafer no deck mower with push mower bolted to front of a no deck mower. Most mower decks are a pain to work on, worn out belts, lengths are hard to get, parts are worn out. even if you raise the mower still hard to work on , loafer is better. Also the best front mower motor would be a old riding mower electric start engine with coupling to bolt on mower blades. so you can electric start front push mower engine.

    @SteifWood 3 місяці тому

    When I started logging in the early 1980's none of the saws (here in Norway) had bucking spikes. Is it bcs I learned and developed my skills without those attachments when I fell a tree or buck it (I've bucked 1000's of trees and never understood the need for spikes)? Or is it bcs they're just a nuisance and right out dangerous when I glide the saw down a 100 foot spruce (such spikes would either snag my body or the log)? In any case, I now remove any evidence of such spikes whenever I pick up a new saw. To me they're just marketing trash.

    When I first started in the forestry business, the older guys called them "felling dogs" or "felling spikes", and a lot of them took them off and put on a smooth edged aluminum plate because they claim the spikes will wear out your anti-vibe faster.

  • @Rein_Ciarfella
    @Rein_Ciarfella 3 місяці тому

    Dogs DO NOT give the operator LEVERAGE!
    They do, however, give the operator secure pivot points when cutting, making cutting easier and more precise.
    Another misuse of the word “leverage”, just like using the word “leverage” instead of “torque”.

    • @jefftheaussie2225
      @jefftheaussie2225 3 місяці тому

      Torque is leverage measured in ft/lbs or the number of pounds that can be lifted over a foot of leverage. Imagine driving a Mack V8 Superliner with 2000 ft/lbs of torque, capable of lifting a US short ton with only a foot of leverage. The more torque the more work can be done. Torque is more important than horse power for many reasons. That is how a brake dyno works, keep adding weight on the brake lever till the motor can’t handle it. I am talking old school dynos and we did a bit of this when I studied tractor and engine testing at Ag College. One of the dynos we used pumped water with the flow restricted for the same result. Very interesting stuff.

    @wttw4942 3 місяці тому

    Very good video. The bucking spike helps you bite the wooden trunk as if it were the incisors of a beaver but in this case with the chain saw. This way you can secure it and stabilize the saw. So that the log or saw does not jump in your mouth and hit your tooth or lip. This way you can have more leverage when cutting the wood with the teeth, I mean the teeth of the saw you are using. It is also important to use safety glasses as long as it is not the first time that a saw bites into a piece of wood, the pieces fly and hurt the worker's eyesight. Always wear glasses. It is also important to clean the teeth of the saw after you finish using it and inspect them carefully to locate any defects and correct them. Teeth are the most important thing and it is worth ensuring their life. For this you can get a large brush at any hardware store. You won't need toothpaste for those types of teeth. Some simple detergent can do the work in this case. Just make sure your teeth are always clean and the chain is always lubricated. Greetings to all.
