I'm scared. Hold me.

Nice saw, awesome score.

 

Alright, didn't want to do it; here is my final offer



Even trade?

 

OK, how about this mint gem new Wild Thing! This PLUS the $200. Comes with a case and oil... its never been fired up. A virgin saw!

 

Well, that was fun. I can see why an 8-pin rim would be worthwhile with the shorter bar; it certainly doesn't bog down with the 7-pin.

 

Yep, torque to spare and then some.

Nice vid.

 

I run an 064 with an 8 pin, & 24 or 28". They will pull it, esp. with skip chain. Nice job on the saw, & yes you suck. A C

 

Hey, there's a segue opportunity. How do you (and others) decide whether to use skip, semi-skip or full comp? So far all the chains I've tried have been full comp. I understand (or think I understand) that skip-tooth patterns leave more room for chips in long cuts. I imagine that each tooth might bite deeper, and probably behave poorly when cutting smaller-diameter wood. I'm not sure what I'm asking. Maybe specific examples would help illuminate this -- e.g. if you've switched tooth patterns in the middle of a particular log and noticed a big difference.

 

I prefer full skip on bars over 24". Very little difference in cutting speed (In my experience anyway,YMMV),gives you a little more engine power + clears out chips/shavings better in long cuts.Plus it takes less time to file since there's 1/3rd less teeth...

Can be a bit grabby in short cuts under 12" sometimes though.My rakers are set a bit deeper than usual,especially for milling & regular cutting big rounds of softer woods like White Pine,Eastern Red Cedar & the occasional Silver Maple.That really flies through the big stuff.Some months ago I milled some Pine & forgot to put a less aggressive chain before starting to cut some super dense Honey Locust a few weeks later.... Was a bit grabby & vibrated a little at first,but that 2100CD just took hold & chewed through it no problem.Nice thing about a 100cc saw,you will rarely find anything to bog it down,even if saw is 30 years old...
