Back in the 60's when I was a kid, we had a mill on the river that was a bowl factory, making bowls out of ash, we call the owner old man Rice. I gave my saw to father to sharpen, he tried it and said I must have been working for old man Rice because he said it was cutting bowls, I know the felling.

That’s funny pulling hard to the side. I was actually pretty pleased with my saw it was cutting a lot better than previously. Chains can be so frustrating you have them cutting great then one foreign object and you’re done. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks Obie I think I’m going to like the saw after some tinkering. It takes more time and effort to maintain old chains but it’s worth it.

Congratulations on the win. Well deserved. With your Echo, I think you said it’s not the bar. When you said that did you file down edge of rails?
@OGAOutdoors
@OGAOutdoors 9 ай бұрын
Thanks I’m going to have some fun with the little saw. Yeah I try to file the rails occasionally especially when I can feel a little lip on them. I put on a new chain and it cut perfect. I’ll just keep filing and cutting. Thanks for stopping by.

I finally got my 4409 splitfire in . I got it on the excavator but not all hooked up . This rain here in Nc is a mess . I have started KZbin but have a lot to learn there . Yadkin Valley Outdoors. I am definitely going to make some videos with it .

I had the strato gasket mod done before I fired mine up. Let it run rich for the first tank before tuning it. Man it rips now!

I have two cs 590s, great saws. I also have junk chains for dirty wood. Good video, as always. Thanks, Ben, for making it.

Chris they are for sure hard to beat. Junk chains are great as long as you can keep them cutting. Thanks for stopping by take care.

Hi Ben. You are always working hard! I was just wondering, have you ever thought of building a simple log cabin with some of those logs you have cut?
@OGAOutdoors
@OGAOutdoors 9 ай бұрын
Christie actually I have not. If I did I would probably decide I need more firewood and just start cutting lol. Thanks so much for watching.

I've talked about how to buck logs with mud and gravel stuck good to them. I'll cut down into the log, roll it over, then finish it off with an underbuck to spit the dirt and gravel away from the cut. Now to extend the life of the chains, have you tried going down one file size? You lose the shape of the gullet over time, costing you 3-4sec in a cut of oak say 20in diameter. Go down one file size once past halfway in the cutter length. Might take a couple of resharp jobs to make it cut like a new one.

I have used the smaller files. That seems to work pretty good.

If those Echo saws are out of warranty, pull the limiter caps and do a muffler mod. They wake up a bit. Wish I had never traded in my Echo 590 on a top-handle saw that I have since sold.

I did the muffler mod on my Shindaiwa 591 and pulled the caps. I need to do my 590 as well just don’t have the time. Especially now since I have this other saw to work on. Lol

I’m not sure that said they must not have too hard of a time because they aren’t knocking down my door. I have a few that drop here they just aren’t in my area a lot.
