[@InTheWoodyard]

Right on!

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

I have run both the 3120 as well as a Stihl 880. In my opinion, the Husqvarna has a far superior oiling system for running a long bar.💪

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the info!

[@markfeagans9679]

Husqvarna is a superior saw. Owned chainsaws since I was 11 and only once did I buy a Stihl. Lasted all of 2 weeks. I've stuck with the best, Husqvarna!

[@aldredske6197]

Good morning Chris!!😀😀 The 5 foot bar is nice. But I would hang that puppy on a nail and only put it on when you have a 5 foot diameter log. The rest of the time I would have a 3 foot bar on it so it would be much more efficient and manageable. Take care my friend!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al

[@m9ovich785]

Thanks Chris. The chain on the shorter bar looks to not be so sharp on one side as I can see it made a curved cut.

It was a skip tooth so yup, it can do that.

[@chuckhenderson2312]

Dude how many saws do you own. Don't let anybody ever tell you you have enough. I own stihl. 500 i, 461, 462 c, a 271, an older super 029, and a small 170. But I'm going to get me a 261 c. My favorite big saw is the 462 and the 461 . for some reason I don't really care for the500 i. Selling it as of right now. It just seems flemsy to me for some reason. But I have friends who absolutely love the 500 i. Its probably me. But to each his own. I love your videos. Learned a ton. Good night Irene.

[@InTheWoodyard]

The right amount of saws is ...more.

[@jackdawg4579]

I'd never seen one of these big girls worked hard before. I was a bit disappointed, it seemed to struggle / bog more than i was expecting, obviously the myth and hype around these saws had me expecting more! Got the job done well enough though! the old saw with the smaller blade was impressive, that's probably what i was expecting of the new saw with the big blade, which is probably a tad unrealistic!

You're a better man than I. I wouldn't even want to rip a 4 foot long log. Hard to manage heat build up and keep the saw cutting straight. You have fun with that. A lot of work is right. Fun for you, but I'm not that strong anymore. It's simply a lot of work - and too big is not as safe for me.

[@InTheWoodyard]

It was fun!

[@iffykidmn8170]

In defense of longer bars in the western woods in logging situations not in a firewood yard most trees are not laying flat on the ground and are elevated somewhat with limbs and slash debris. IMHO in the upper midwest day to day it is hard to go wrong with a 70cc Pro saw with a sharp! 20-24" b&c.👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, I agree 99% ...the big saw and bar are fun toys for the most part here!

[@timrydman-mr5hp]

Great video Chris. Those saws are something else. I've had farm bikes with less horse power than those. What a pleasure to see those noodles pouring out. When I do ripping like that I'm under instruction from "she who must be obeyed" to bag them and bring them home to put under her strawberry plants and round her shrubs etc. Got a wee bit out of hand when after a week on big old man pines I came home with twenty odd sacks! Don't get asked anymore. Cheers mate fromHB NZ

Ripping the log with the long bar is much faster and easier on the saw than using a Alaskan Mill set-up. Ripping with the Alaskan Mill is not actually ripping, because the saw teeth are cutting across the fibers not with the fibers. You could cut some nice parallel planks free hand with that big bar.

Crazy question. . To cut those 2 pieces all in 2 quarters, and 16" with a 70cc saw. Or do it all with a 119cc saw. . Approximately, Which used more fuel? . Feal free to stick the old one in a USPS flat rate box. and sent it out to pasture, out west. no bar required. LOL

[@InTheWoodyard]

I do not know for sure but it would probably be faster with the 592 and a 24" bar cutting from both sides on the cross cut THEN ripping them down. The 592 is way faster cutting. This was just for fun and to justify the purchase!

[@BGWenterprises]

@@InTheWoodyard i find a 90 somthing cc saw is plenty big for 99% of everything done. Mabe for are slab bundles from the mill, cutting it to length would be about the only practical use. . A 36" light bar would do it wonders in the logistics department, of just moving it around lol.

[@allupinski6339]

All the logs I cut are 12 to maybe 18 inches so I have never had to ripped any. My question is do your saws go thru the logs faster when your cutting rounds or ripping ?

[@InTheWoodyard]

if you have the right saw and it is sharp AND you cut right it should be close but mostly cross cutting is faster depending on the wood and the diameter.
