    Just finished bucking up a load of wood
    I got from a tree company . I'm going to take the saw to the dealer this weekend under warranty. Hopefully it won't be tied up to long because I still have a couple of pick up loads to grab from another connection. Here are some pics .A lot of this was 20" and some bigger.

    What reason to run so much oil? I use 50:1 in my stuff.

    More oil won't hurt..

    Plus a ported engine that pushes close to 200 psi has added stress and wear and tear.

    There is still no smoke, and for the extra amount of oil, it's added insurance.

    I run 32:1 in all mine. Plenty of lube in the bottom end and better ring seal.

    I love turkey for meat. Elk is awesome but it's so far away from me and too expensive to hunt.

    On 50:1 some saws will be almost dry on the inside when pulled apart. I run motul 800, maxima K2, or klotz in my saws. 50:1 seems to be an EPA thing more than the oils are that good.

    The tom was there also, I just didn't get a pic. You can kill 1 hen in the fall season as long as you don't kill two toms in the spring season. Two birds per year total.
