  • What are the benefits of getting a firewood chainsaw ported and the muffler modified? We chat with an expert ‪@dynojoemods2764‬ about how he got into saw work, the benefits of porting saws, and a whole lot more! I will be getting a few of my saws ported and in a future video will show the side by side comparison of how they cut as well as the before and after Dyno numbers! The Makita 7900 and Echo Cs-501P will de running better soon!

    Your Echo will show the biggest gain in my experience... Plus I see he has a poster of my most favourite saw on the wall to his left.. To bad they don't make them anymore

    Been watching Joe for a fair while now. It's really nice that he's a tuner who actually has results to show that something is working better rather than just saying that something "feels" better.

      Alan, I agree. I am looking forward to see how they feel different too though. But the dyno and test cuts should tell the story.

    I enjoy using my Stihl chainsaws but certainly not an expert by any stretch. Dyna Joe did an amazing job explaining all the ins and outs of modification. I really enjoyed at the end when he precisely told you how the entire shipping process takes place and what you can plan on along the way!

    I really liked Joe's answer to his favorite? He made it perfectly clear it is about performance, not the "brand"Some people are "purists" by nature, but putting a "Stihl" motor in a "Husqvarna" frame doesn't affect the performance in the end and vice versa. As Joe said it's the build on the power head that creates performance, not what color the case is. This applies to a great many other areas.

    Great video explaining why you would want your saw ported. Chris from In the Woodyard and I attended the Logging Congress in Escanaba MI the last couple days and spent some time with Johnston Performance Saw who’s also based out of MI and learned a lot about chainsaw mods. It was nice to see the difference in performance. 👍TCT

    About time. You will be shocked at how the 501 runs after the porting job. The Dolkita will be a monster but you’ll notice the biggest change in the 501. Joe did a great job on my 572.
    Next Heath will be getting his weed eater, log splitters, furnace, and box fans ported. 😂

      @@hardworkingmanoutdoors Joe is a good guy. Smart as a whip too. I actually agree with him on the 60cc saw comments. I love cutting with my 620p. If I decide to keep the other one, I’m having Joe port that one.
      I use a tach and fine tune in the cut too. Takes a little practice but you’ll get it. Just make sure the stupid limiters are off the adjusters…
      Are you having him do your STIHL?

    Get your saw ported? Do it! My stihl 460 needed to be rebuilt, I found a guy local to me here on CZcams, New England saw works, he did an great job and was affordable. He is currently rebuilding and porting my old faithful husky rancher 55 at this moment, I should be getting it back this week, I can’t wait. My 460 has a factory dual port muffler on it, I plan to try some other mufflers on it cause I just like messing with stuff and seeing if I like it. The 55 however, not many make mufflers for that but I’ll try whatever is out there.

      A good tuner can really wake up a saw. Some saws are pretty hot “out of the box”. Joe made my 572 a great saw from a good saw. I’ve got a ported Echo 620 as well…

    My next saw will be a ported 500i... gotta save for that one though. Lol😂
    I've always wondered about how ported saws last over time, tuning them to max power and torque, to me always lead me to believe, or think rather, that it would dramatically lessen the life if a saw. Its nice that he discussed the longevity of them.
    Our 044s make awesome saws when they have some mods done on them... wink wink.

    • @hardworkingmanoutdoors
      @hardworkingmanoutdoors  Před 11 měsíci +1
