So this is the first, while also being the last (posted anyway), in a series of videos that looks at the progression of a Jonsered cs2166 going from mild to a little wild. There are 6 successive clips showing the timeline of taking the J-red (mostly) from a 4.8hp machine to one that runs better than a 461 rated at 6.0 and a 390 rated at 6.5 hp. It also showed around the same time as a 066 in the downward slice.
I was allowed by the owner to alter the air cleaner cover and element choices of which we see the 0.5, 1.0, & 2.0 renditions in the video log. I did install a HD flocked Husky element in the end before sending it back. I also showed the difference between using the flocked HD filter and the HD winter version that has a nylon filter medium in one of the videos.
Initially I was going to only make one cut each but in the first J-red run I cut out of the log. So....
It's important to note that the Husky had the worst of it as the test log was growing in diameter quickly while getting into the knot section.
Timed runs:
J-red 2166 8:88 & 10:30 Both Knot free
Husky 372 9:24 & 10:36 Getting Knot Full
Based on the operator's feedback - my interpretation - the 372 felt like it pulled a little stronger. While having the tougher go of the increased diameter and more of the knot section while running pretty similar times, I think my assessment is supported.
I am currently available for custom saw modifications. If you are interested, please shoot ma an email.
