Is there a noticeable difference between 50cc and 60cc saws?

    Haha that's seems to be cutting pretty good! Any chance you can make a comparison video between it and factory 3/8RS? If you do, no rocking of the saw, just one nice level cut with medium pressure though the log. So far I'm pretty impressed with what I'm seeing from 63PS.

    I have a 16'' 3/8 bar and RS chain for it. I could do a comparison some time. I really need a another clutch drum to lightly mod to make this setup work better. I did not know if the chain would take it since it is only designed for 3hp. The dogs were hanging up on the wood. When I do the comparison I'll use better technique. I guess since I am doing this comparison I might as well throw .325 in the mix. I have a 9 pin for that. I need to find some wood for this test. I might be a week or two before I can get to it.

    My favorite "guy behind the counter" story is when I was in Autozone about 10 years ago and the guy in front of me asked for plugs for a 98 Camaro. The guy behind the counter said "What make is that?".

    I know a couple guys.... lol

    I have a rather nice loop of PS3 that had the humps ground off the drivers, cutter filed square, tunneled and heels clipped. (Work was not done by me) It hangs in the shop and sometimes I take it down just to look at it and figure one day I'll have time to get back into that kind of stuff.

    I like others would suggest skipping the 60cc and get a 70cc for 2 saws. Use the 70 to buck and fell bigger and the smaller for limbing and small stuff

    Square Ground Stihl chain is RSLF (full skip) They may have full comp RSL as well. I use RSLF. Cuts very well. Pain in the butt to sharpen
