From what I am hearing here I am going to have to try one. This last couple of redesigned Oregon chains have been a PITA.

Its big saw chain.

 

[Yogi]

I didn't know they made anything bigger than the wild thing What kinda saw do you really need?

 

[ourhouse]

Alot of our Maple is 2-3 foot across. 28" bars. We have been ordering rolls of it for 29 years now. Never thought of changing.

I run the same skip tooth chain also even on shorter bars to. Cuts fast and fast to fix if you hit something.

 

[BikeMedic2709]

I run a narrow kerf skip-tooth on my HomeLite Super XL. It doesn't bogg down as much running that type. I really like skip tooth, but I have never tried it on my larger saws.

Not trying to hijack the thread or anything, but Yogi's high ratings of the "wild thing" made me take a little interest at sniffin' at the specs. I CAN'T find any! Even the Poulan website doesn't state hp ratings. The only thing I found is that at the BEGINING of the manual is states "For occasional use only". I can find cc's oil/gas ratio and stuff like that, but nothing for the motor head in me.

 

[BikeMedic2709]

jags,

I found this.
Poulan Wild Thing- 40 cc, 18" bar. 50:1 12, 600 max rpm. 11.2 lbs It did say for "occasional use."
I also found a site that listed a Poulan Pro Wild thing. & it was listed at 2.6 CI/42cc, and also one that was listed at 34 cc w/ a 14" bar. But nothing else.

The bore on the Wild Thing is about the size of the bore of the carb on the 3120XP.

 

[suematteva]

That 3120 is a bear..

Have you done any modifications to it?

 

[ourhouse]

bobo that is some big hardwear. What do you do for a living?

 

[bobo]

Make firewood.

 

[ourhouse]

NNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCEEEEE. How many cord a year do you do.

 

[bobo]

Every year it is different. We remove top's after the loggers are done. We also clean up windfalls that can make for alot of firewood.
