    You can make a quick and dirty one if you don't mind sacrificing an old chain. Just file/grind the teeth to a 10-15* angle, and completely grind off every 2nd tooth. Doesn't work as good as purpose made ripping chain, but works way better than stand chain designed for crosscutting.

    Anyone have a picture of their ripping setups? I bought a Granberg and a ripping chain for my saw just have been trying to figure out the slickest way to get a good first cut.

    My buddy just uses 2 2x10s about 14' long shimmed and screwed into the log. Really easy to get them coplaner, and it's pretty much all you need to get the first cut started. After that it just rides on the already cut surface. I've seen guy used ladders before and that looked like a pretty slick way to go. I know I got a picture somewhere on my phone

  6. Unicorn seemam creates even more hp than adding stickers to it.

    That’s one way of doing it. Otherwise, you can cut slits into the muffler and bend them in a way that pushes exhaust gases forward.

    It provides the kind of power only found in gallons of unicorn spooge.

    No it’s not the biggest saw Husky makes the 3120 is which is 120 cc his is a 80 cc . I run a 288 which is 88 cc’s, they also make a 90cc. Husqvarna is the only one that uses the last two numbers of their model as their cc. Johnson read uses the first two numbers. Just for your info. I’ve been running a saw for 35 years. And our local Husqvarna dealer is the first Husqvarna dealer in North America.

    OK. However, the "they" referred to was NOT directed at Husqvarna. And its "Jonesred". (Running a saw for 45 years; also had a Husky 250 WR that dated to 1972 as well, so there). :beer:

  11. This reminds me that I need to order a new piston for one of mine, I got a bit greedy with the jetting being an idiot with a saw with too much compression. Well that and was too lazy to swap jets when I only had access to 89 octance.
