Husqvarna chains don't play

[TreeTard]

Well ive cut through one metal stake before but here's the latest. Took a 36" and 32" chain totally smoked to cut through this bad boy. It wasn't fun and I ended up cutting it out with an axe but here is the bolt that was 8" deep in the face cut. If you try hard enough they can totally cut through metal.

Yeah you can but why? No way to cut the tree down a little higher then work from the back of stump towards the screw and cut lower if possible to take stump off. Wrecking 40-50$ in chains on one tree doesn’t seem worth it.

Not exactly. A 46" diameter tree. The bolt was found in the bottom of the face cut. Not a logging felling scenario either more of a technical tree felling scenario. If that makes more sense of it. I guess I should have painted a better picture. The point was the chains are definitely tough

My buddies that do tree work always Start with the flat on their face cuts and I’ve seen them try higher or lower after they change the chain out if they hit something in the first cut but you must have been in a different situation.

I run a X-Cut 3/8" 56DL on my PS-550 and it is the bomb.
Since I have absolutely NO spare chains in 56DL I am getting two more ASAP.
Great chain!

I went through a 8p nail with x-cut sp33g and the chain was still “ok” or still cutting well enough that it wasn’t taxing the saw. When I took a file to the chain, only a few of the teeth were damaged, and not that bad. I like the .325 a lot. When my need some 3/8 loops, I’m going to try husky full chisel.

The new Stihl .325 is fast chain but I don’t think it would hold up well to nails but I may be wrong.

Yeah, I think they have a NK full chisel that’s supposed to be really fast.
I try not to make a habit of cutting nails, so I should check it out.

I am liking this X-Cut, RS never felt right to me.

The new 26RSNK Pro is a laser

Pro only comes in .050, 23RS P. .058 and .063 are still old style RS; and all .063 chain, stepped down drive links on the .058 and .050(you can still get it)
