28" Carlton bar and 91 dl Calton 30 RC chain

[webie]

Started with a 18" a few years back..Quickly went to the 20" since my inlaws think you an't a man if you don't have a 20" bar....

I wonder what they think now I have the 28"??????

I ran my FIL 361 yesterday for one cut bucking a log and he grinds off the rakers way to much.. When I touched the log it bout pulled out of my hands lol......

I have the rakers on my 360 ground down to .025 on a 16 inch bar with a .325 chain . It works great for this set up I cant run it on my 026 it either grabs to much and you have to hold it back and it vibrates like B***H .

I have a .325 - 20 inch bar that I am going to try on the ms 460 and I am going to try takeing down the rakers a bit more and see how fast this one will blast through the wood .

460 going to cut faster at highier RPM lower rakers are going to slow your rpm down....sweet spot is out of the cut around
14,000 rpm there not tourqe monsters there rpm junkies!

True but I have not knowen anyone to run a .325 chain on a 460 yet so I may try the 16 inch bar and chain on it first before I make up another chain .

lol the .325 is not strong enough to hold up to a 460.......nothing worse than a snap chain on the loose!

I have use a lot of woodland pro and stihl no issues yet knock on wood...I hear on a snap chain the chain catcher will not always catch it and could just go flying.

I am sure it could . Both of my experiences were similar to popping a chain off the bar only to find it broken .

Your a cat! lol I got hurt for the first time yesterday smash my pinkie loading a large round its black and blue...I hate pain so uaslly take the time need in the right places but there was two of us on this round...

 

[webie]

I just dont deal with big rounds anymore you can get really hurt that way . I Cut tree down , brush out , tow with tractor to processing area , buck up , back up tractor with splitter and log lift , girlfriend throws split pieces on trailer . The first time I really touch much wood is pileing off the trailer.
5 years ago I said enough was enough and I took a big look at how I processed my firewood , My biggest issue and handicap sat right in the splitting area . Thats when I purchased the Timberwolf TW3 . Yes it was a big purchase , the last of my lifetime but it has made processing firewood so much faster and easier on the body .

26 in. slabs but you can do larger logs if you make cants out of the log and then mill into slabs if need be

Good luck with the milling . I know there is many times that some of the wood I cut up for firewood should be used for boards . Well at least if you screw up you can still use it for fire wood.
