7 pin sprocket vs 8 Which is faster? 

B! I am super honored that you put my handle on a saw (and on video). I would hate to have it fail during a race, so I won't be offended at all if you take it off. I designed it soft to mimic the elasto-start from Stihl, I am super excited if you think it helps. For those who are curious, it's Overture TPU 95A printed on an Ender 3. I have been pretty mean to mine, havent broken one yet, that TPU is way tougher than I could have imagined. I have them installed on a J-red 80 and an 056 mag II. I have a 281 as well that pulls like his, that gets one next.

You’d def need the 7 pin at Saw Fest. If we had all softwood in that event an 8 pin might work.

Hi, for me 7 pins on 80 plus cc saws is better when I fall big trees cause doesn't get stuck easily and is more important to finish my cut and run safely than do it quicker...then if I'm cleaning logs from branches I prefer switching on a 50/60 cc with 8 pins on it to get more chain inertia, so is less likely to kickback if I touch something with the top of the bar tip...if I wrote something wrong forgive me, I'm italian 😂 anyway thats how I work generally, but I like to share my knowledge and watch others to learn their knowledge, have a good one

Exactly the results I'd expect👍🏻 limbing or big saw small wood, I tend to like 8 pin. Most everything else, 7 pin. Haven't tried a 9 or 10 pin rim yet!

I think you could even lower the rakers a bit with that 7 pin. I wonder though if the 8 would be faster yet in pine or poplar

Before I wised up and switched to Husky I used to cut timber with 066 mags for a few years and they came with a 9 pin back then and I used to drop them to 8s and I always thought they felt so much better but I'm not sure if they actually cut better. Those were the only saws I ever messed with the sprockets much. Once the 385xp fell into my hands and Stihl started making those saws ending in 1 I moved from Germany to Sweden and still reside there...lol

Technique in each setup is where it’s at!!! Try taking two or three stroke’s off your rakes until you are just too grabby…. Then resharpen or take 3strokes off of each cuttter…. That’s how I find my most “race ready cutting speed! Try doing the top…, 3/4 like 9 o’clock plunge in then down and up!! Technique

That things an animal. I like the 200 series saws anyway but I really like that saw.

I have a 8 pin .325 sprocket on my husky 238 but that is used exclusively as a limbing saw cutting pencil sized spruce branches.

My 372 7 pin, my 395 has a 8 pin. Mostly I cut hard wood.

Higher the gearing lower the Torque, Lower the gearing higher the Torque. It's all about finding that sweet spot for the application. Hard wood , lower gearing more Torque, soft wood higher gearing more speed.

I think the 7 pin is more forgiving of operator input. When your skills mature I think you will want the 8. As far as how hard to push it , it's no different than sawing planks on a table saw. You learn how much you can get away with. I really enjoy your videos.

Hi Boedy. I am a new subscriber. I am a Pioneer “P series” enthusiast, and I have several in my collection. I am enjoying your videos, you are a talented and funny guy. Keep it up.

When I was a young kid we always had a slogan called if you can't back it up go back to home to Mama

Great video and an extremely strong saw.

8 will always be faster as long as you have the power. If you are under powered or over bared you will slow it down from lack of power. It’s simple gearing just like changing gearing on a bike.

That's a quality build 👌

Dude if your running a hard wood competition run they 7 . If soft wood run a 8

I've tried both and always go back to 7 pin.

I just dropped one of those handles in the mail last night to you. It's probably going to be a little stiffer than that one. Let me know if you want any more of them, they are for snowblowers, and I don't think you have many of those down there. I put a couple more little items in the package you will probably like as well. I hope it gets there in a reasonable amount of time.

10:16 is the start of the comparison

Man you make the greatest videos

Cajun built an amazing saw that don’t care what sprocket is mounted!! That’s a strong strong runner!! Everyone has a personal preference on how they like a machine to feel. I think more time with that saw and your opinion might change about the 8 pin. I tune a little differently when I mount bigger gears. Fatter for bigger lol.

I’ve tried a 9 pin on my 600sx with a 18” bar skip tooth , cuts like crazy on small wood 🤟🏻

Love that saw.

My “House Slipper Homeboy!!! LMFFAO!

I prefer the 7pin but I have a real aggressive grind on my chains. I tried the 8pin once and it just made my saw bog down to much.

Also I noticed when your paying attention to your rpm gauge compared to when your not . Your cutting faster watching that rpm gauge then when your just " feeling the saw "

B, did you know there’s a full skip low pro chain available for the Wildthing? It’s semi-chisel tho.

I've been curious for a while about throwing a 620 clutch drum on my 590 and running an 8 pin on her, maybe I'd get some extra speed out if it and be able to run my 72dl chains on that echo bar I never use.

That is one mean saw!

8 Pin and Use The Weight of The Saw To Do The Work Maybe Even Use a Longer Bar and Harvester Chain 😎Dont Need To Push If Your Chain is Sharp and Rakers Filed Correctly Cajun Built a Screaming Husqvarna 😊❤️😊

Thought i seen a gosh dern bigfoot but it was just a goat.

Soft starter for your Charmin soft hands.

With your long bars… don’t try to drive your dogs and twist up…. Make that top cut for your face…. Then you walk to the center and 6-8”’s below that line in the tree flip your saw horizontal and with the back 1/2 of your bar cut horizontally up towards your top cut from your center in 3” inches then take your running saw up into that corner on your left side… by the time your into your corner area you’ll be able to half moon your front section up at that right side corner.,, then make your left corner and then you go look at how many more inches you need.., use the basic geometry until it’s more and more and more natural feeling!!!! 😉👍

That's a strong saw!

Try that silly drop rakes until grabby… then scrub your cutters 3-5 strokes…,

I'd take the speed of the 8 for limbing but the torque all day long for bucking. I mean that's what's so fascinating when you first run an XP, that speed is very welcome but if it comes at a cost of power, it better be well balanced.

You got to have enough torque to pull the 8+ pin sprockets

What about trying a skip and eight pin? I find that my 32-in bar on my dolmar with an eight pin and skip chain seems to cut faster than my full house 25 in

👍🏽run how you like it. Soft wood small cant can’t really say

8's are faster, 7's transfer torque better. The 661's and 500i's have enough umph that I run 8 pin on everything for production falling, the only noticable difference is if you stop in a cut, you can restart with a 7 pin, with an 8 you have to back out of the cut a little, get the chain moving and then hog back in

I feel like if you get some more practice with the 8 pin it will be faster overall. Just my thoughts.

Is there a video for the intro where the tree came back on thw saw?

Is anyone else having problems with their screen being black while watching videos sometime, but sound works just fine?

I prefer 7s in hard wood unless it’s somthing just nutty like some of my personal 660s.

I’m a 7 pin guy and a 60cc saw I can do about anything with that I don’t use my bigger saws much at all

I have found the 8pin is only faster on my ms880 it has the power, on my smaller saws it makes little difference.

An 8 pin with faster chain speed and less torque may not make for a faster cut than a 7 pin that has more torque but less chain speed, in oak.

What is that rpm guage?

Good video

If you dog in them use the 7, if it glides then use 8.

8 pin is faster you can see on the down cut

👍🆙BigGuy

Did he design it to run in oak or pine

Bagus 👍

👍

smaller sprocket-faster chain speed

8 pin les power but faster 7 pin stronger but lower speed on chain

8pins are noce if you limb.

Too much talk
