I’m not sure if your cutting an extremely hard wood with a dull chain or that saw is not properly tuned or not properly fuelled? Because you would think that saw would pull better than that.
Howdy its a brand new stihl .404 full house chain on a 36” bar cutting green hardwood. Like any saw it could benefit from a good hand filed chain and touch up on the rakers. And being a new saw it wasn’t run in at this stage. Definitely a beast but more suited to slabbing than anything else…
@kdrweld8518 Steveo here. Mate, this was the first run of the 881 Magnum. Learnt a lot. The saw pulled plenty hard enough, but for green hardwood, it was a bit of work. Hopefully, you are in Canada or the US. That way, you have no idea how hard the timbers are here. But if you are in Australia, feel free to grab a new 881 Magnum and try it out. That way, you can also figure shit out the way we do. Merry Christmas
I dont know about that,the bigger bars and chains generate a lot of heat you dont want to have them too tight… totally diff to smaller saws i reckon. Cheers shaino
