what about the other motor you mentioned?
4.2 gpm at 1,500 psi is 4.1 hp. That motor is working pretty hard at that pressure. 1,200 psi is 3.25 hp.
That’s a good score! What gpm are you running for the two stages? Mine is 14 gpm total, and 1.8 gpm on the high pressure side. It usually...
Your cord becomes a limiting factor as the amps go up. I have a 100 ft 12ga cord on mine and it does fine. You should be ok with the same cord...
I can double check, but I’m pretty sure it’s 17 amps.
Tonnage is over rated. I converted my splitter to electric and have it turned down to about 17 tons and it runs a 4 way like a champ. I am using...
That sounds like a house that is out-drafting the chimney.
cezar, that looks good. It seems top down might be good for smaller fireboxes with secondaries above. That may be the difference in opinion and...
I put my splits in the box and then a few smaller pieces or slivers of wood in front. Sometimes a few pieces of paper on the side just to get the...
There is nothing quick about a top down fire unless you are lighting a pile of tinder.
How does the “air velocity push back on you”? How does it heat the stove faster if it takes longer for it to get going?
I can’t speak for him, but we sometimes get s backdraft if tge wind is out of a particular direction. It makes high/low pressure zones on...
You didn’t miss a thing. Top down is something some people like. It works, but why bother? I light mine from the bottom or close to it and I...
Having your own splitter is definitely on the list of items to have.
That sounds like most of us….missing screws….
Let’s see some video of it running!
I have picked up perfectly good saws that way. Turns out the people I got them from didn’t know how to start them. Check out the carb and get...
Longer bars really make a saw heavy. No wonder he liked the 500i with only a 20” bar. I have run several 660’s and was not really impressed....
Sounds like fuel might not be getting to the fuel bowl as quickly as it should. Could also be low oil. Could be some crud in the carb also.
The bigger saws are heavy, but they really shine when you have to cut some big wood. I used to be a stihl guy, but now I run mostly husky.
