    I rally dont care how loud mine is as I wear mugs running it anyhow. They sound cool the larger the opening is. More throaty.

    I forgot my D-ring and only had the quad pulling slightly. The strap was almost on the ground, because I couldn't cut and give it throttle at the same time. It was more a fail safe.

    But yeah, everything normally goes on a clasp or D-ring on the hitch.

    As for the saw, I like it more and more everyday. The 036 will be back from Mastermind very shortly.. So I will see what is what in the 60 cc shootout. I have a feeling based on my chat with Randy that the 036 will be an angry little chit. And my 460 is Very angry.. :thumbs:

    I was just messin with ya on the quad rigging. I've done much more questionable stuff with mine :emb:.

    I'd be really shocked if the 036 didn't whip the 362 after being ported.

    I got another tank through mine last night, which makes 5 or 6. The difference between the first and last tank is huge. Its pretty mean right now...mean enough to make firewood...and make my cutting buddies' 290's look silly.

    The question is which one is king with both saws ported. You can see where this starts to get expensive.

    :popcorn:

    Luke, as 1 saw guy, I'm starting to think getting your 362 ported makes sense. And would make your buddy's 290 look even sillier. But that's what happens when it's not my $$ and I get to sniffing the carburetor cleaner again....:whistle:

    Just wait until the ported 362CM vids hit YouTube from the major builders. I'm sure Dex will get his done as soon as his builder of choice frees up his schedule a bit.

    I have two saws under the knife right now. And yes, I let someone else wrench on my equipment! o_O I can't wait to get them back! :saw:

    LOL! I'm enjoying the thread direction. I have what I needed answered about 2 pages back.
