Definitely could drop the rakers a bit. New chain with one grind/sharpening. But i definitely don't like a hungry chain when felling. I've made that mistake enough for the both of us 😂. Thanks for your comment.
I dont either lol i started my face cut in a hard wood tree with a chain i forgot i adjusted for soft wood. Only had one chain for that bar at the time so i was committed and it wasnt fun. Had to fall the tree between a house and a big open hole that was dug for a house foundation.
I have those same dogs on my 372xp and I hate them. I should have gone with the over sized 4 point set instead of the 5 point. At least the saw would sit flat and still serve the purpose
man that Huskey rip's, I don't see the need for me to get a 390xp or 395xp right now, I just got myself a 572xp and haven't even ran it but I do love my little 550xp, for a 50cc saw that thing rip's. Man I wish I had them dead pines on my property, they would make some fine lumber on my Woodmizer LT35hd. Keep up the good work bud
I've actually never ran a 572 yet, i just have a 550 and 562. The trees I cut in my videos are actually all Douglas Fir. Fairly large beetle kill patch from a few years ago.
@@Sensei948 not necessarily, it depends on your choice of oil. Some burn cleaner/have detergents in them to help with the carbon. But personally I've felt like 50:1 the bottom ends were a bit drier than i like and 40:1 was a happy medium, of good lubrication without carbon building up(with oils i use anyway). Hope that helps.
Great video. Nice to see those big standing dead Doug Firs put to good use. In one of your previous videos, when you showed your rubber boots i was asking about I forgot to ask you how easily the chainsaw pants go over them. In the previous video you only pulled them halfway down over the boots. Maybe in your next video you can show them going all the way over the boots to show how easy it is to get them over top? I noticed you've got them all the way down over the boots when you're cutting which is awesome. Thanks.
For sure I can do that sometime. Basically they go on fairly easily but snag on the top of the boot where the layered protection of the pants starts. So i need to squeeze the boot and pull down to get the pants to go right to my ankles. I hadn't noticed that before, so I didn't pull them right down. But it's actually pretty easy despite these boots having a fairly wide calf. Thanks for your continued comments!
Great video , solid workout ! how do you like your Drolet wood furnace? We run a chimney and Woodstove business I’ve always wondered about that furnace I’ve never installed one yet.
Been working very well, heats two floors about 2200 square feet(total) quite comfortably. Be nice if i could manually dampen it a little more to make it last longer at night would be my only gripe.
@@BenOfficial94 that’s great to know thx bud ! I really like SBI they make an excellent product. Are you cutting on crown land ? Need a permit ? Beautiful timber that’s for sure. Have a great week.
@@gboz4245 I honestly don't know a lot about furnaces, i never had one up until about 3 weeks ago, I decided to install this one as i had to quarantine for 2 weeks because of covid. I'm cutting on lease technically. But yes you need a permit on crown land for sure, but it's a free form that you basically just sign to confirm you've read the regulations.
Hey Ben, nice video. What chain are you running on it? I really like the 3/8 pitch in chisel bit on Oak for some reason. I definitely wouldn't want to get aggressive on the rakers though. Still, at 88 cc's, it's a beast. Best.
@@Sensei948 is it an xtorq? If so I'd set it considerably lower. Around 12,800 warm. Non xtorq can handle a bit more. But I'd stay around a little rich for break in.
@@Sensei948 start around 13k and lean it out a touch as you burn through a few tanks. After 10-15 you'll probably be where you can set the more permanent tune. Likely around 13.2 to 13.4. but be sure to always set rpm when the saw is hot. And ensure it is missing when you back off on the load in a cut. Stock Coil is limited around 13.5. so don't try to get too close to it, because you may mistake the coil cutting out for four stroking and set it a lot leaner by mistake.
Hey thanks for your comment. My belt is just a funky setup i put together myself. Definitely not state of the art haha. I'll try to remember to go over it in a future video. Thanks for watching.
I see you like most home owners .don't understand..better drill that bar oiler hole out bigger on both sides and thin your oil it doesn't oil the bar properly..even on 20 inch bars let alone 24 28 32 36 .drill all your bars out..and Tapp the oilers..resess
Hi Ben how did the strong heat wave go in your area? They trasmitted it all over Europe. Is your Douglas fir forest still there? I hope that something concrete can be done against this climate change.
We had temperatures between 40-44 for two weeks. The trees lost a lot of needles from the heat and now we have lots of forest fires. Hopefully it will rain soon.
@@BenOfficial94 Between the mountainous area on the border with Alberta and the one north of Vancouver (Dean Channel) which one is worse? Always Douglas fir forests
@@Jona_Villa Drought wise you mean? I'm unsure, but this year we're all very dry and hot haha. The fir can withstand it if they can stay healthy, but here we've been noticing increased amounts of fir beetles.
@@Jona_Villa I'm actually not sure if hemlocks have suffered. We don't have any around here. Douglas fir are everywhere from low coastal regions all the way up to high elevations. I'm honestly not as familiar with hemlocks.
