Here's a video of my Disston KB7. Another extraordinarily powerful saw but sure is heavy. I think the Titan was a lighter animal, less "stuff" on it.

Here it tried to take my head off. Lesson learned

Seems slow in the 24" wood. Consider that it wouldn't cut any slower in a 60" piece. Takes a lot of load to smooth out that engine tone. Otherwise, you'll have it bouncing off the governor.

We don't see bars that big around here. Guy on the west coast once told me all we had were twigs, not trees! You guys were doing a lot of sawing that day! You are right about the Titans being bare bones--no frills on the engine at all! I don't know why the Mercurys and Disstons have to be so complicated--I think the magneto is the first part that is bolted on! I don't saw with the Mercurys any more since our 12hp kicked me twice at a antique show. I have no idea why, I've never had another saw to do that.
