    I got another video uploading now. You may not want to watch. Lol
    I think they have done a great job with keeping up with the amenities but at the same time keeping them simple and robust. The price doesn't hurt either.

    Congrats on the new 421 buddy! With 12 less cc the little 192 was in over its head from the start. You got a nice 3 saw plan going now!

    Now gut that cat muffler and let that 421 breath!:saw:

    Muffler already gutted.
    Sad news I had to trade the 192 to be able to afford the 421.

    Took the 421 out to unwind some stress. The is a fun little saw. I can't wait to see how it performs after it is broke in.

    I put an 18 in GB bar with 91vxl on the 421 and tried cutting the same piece of oak.
    The 421 makes a interesting sound with the 18in bar buried.

    Took the 421 out to fell a smaller leaning ash tree. This is why I wanted the 421 to many sub 12 inch ash and hickory and I like bore cutting those.

    Nice job and clean fall Corey. I like to bore my back cut most of the time. When bore cutting I follow the the 80-10-10 rule. Face cut width at around 80% the diameter of the tree. Hinge at 10% the diameter of the tree and trigger section 10% the diameter of the tree. Don't sell yourself short, your stump looks like it would grade out well.
