Not really. Feeling better in the joints, but some internal issues are causing trouble.

Out of curiosity. I just took the very aggressive 3/8 square chain with lowered rakers that I ran on the DP muffler 440 046 both stock, poulan 445 475, husky 372. I put the 3/8 72dl chain 7T on my EHP redmax 5000 that was built for cutting pulp wood and higher rpm use up to 16.8k for cookie cutting. I have been running it a super fat 13.8k for years now even at gtg's. Not seeing much use in my stable with maybe 5 tanks or so and owner before me put 150 tanks through it in 3 weeks use.
Anyhow cutting the same ash log 14" wide, 13" deep I have been testing the above saws in. The ported redmax 5000 was right there with them in the mid to high 10's.

Nothing wrong with that little saw. Thought about buying it back many times.

I read shipping rates have really gone  up between us now days.     

The locals have no clue on the redmax name, but get all bugged eyed when they test run it.

Welcome. Mindfork

Also Art was the original owner. = old iron logging   He is from Nova Scotia and the saws run a bit different there with his air.

I dont remember if I got a owners manual with it or not. If not 1 online I bet.

I'm trying to find a manual right now, in fact.

Found the manual for the 2007 model... There was also one for 2008.  Can't be that different, can they?
