Redmax 5000 ported work saw I traded for and since I have never
ran a stock redmax 5000.
Old Iron Logging how do these compare when ran stock to the 152
346 261 260 026 246 and any others in 3 cube size saws you have
ran stock.

Here is how they run here. These are not set to factory specs,
they are set where they work best. 260 at factory specs would be
down the list further. When I get time on the 261 it should be
at the top.

260 German
346 OE

Forgot about adding the Partner 5000 and Dolmar 5100 to the list
of stock saws. Just curious.

Other than the 246, there would only be a second between the
saws. I prefer high rpm over torque.
I don't block firewood with 50cc saws.

I can understand rpm and what you were after by running that
EHP redmax 5000 from you.
Had to be a good limbing and what ever you call pulp saw? Can
you describe that so I know, pulp saw? guessing 6" 8" tree and a
lot of falling and limbing.

Pulp saw is light and fast. I cut random length 10-16 feet. Take
them down to a 2" top. Small logs go down to 3" top. Will take
the camera in and get pics and video when it warms up. Hard to
explain unless you know what is left for timber here.

Around these parts pulp wood is soft wood, mainly poplar and
spruce, that ends up getting cut in order to skid the $$ wood
out. Its the easy grabs for a few extra dollars.
Just for fun (and a good deal at baileys 15" Carleton Sprocket
Nose for $3.90!) I ran it on my 372 with an 8 pin
rim...............a very nice set up for pulp wood at the
landing.............

All of our local big mills have shut down (within 270km) so pulp
in down to $11/ton and logs (thankfully there are some small
mills still operating) $27-42 dependant upon the mill. So very
rough times for those that can't adapt. I think the biggest and
most profitable option in to outlast the unemplyed cutting a few
loads of firewood till he finds his next job, and be the one
that always has wood available, goind rate for a single here in
town delivered and split is $60.........and hours away in Ottawa
$150-200!

Man I thought it was bad here. 3 years ago we were $95/ton on
logs. We have 1 mill left, 280 km away.
