Logosol M8 Problem

[Greenland South]

Ran into an issue milling cedar power poles this weekend. While milling, the saw was climbing in the cut and jamming the bar about 4' in. Checked everything I could think of, made adjustments but nothing worked. Curious thing though, if I started at the other end and milled backwards pushing the saw, all was good. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe flip your bar? The rails might be worn uneven on one side and not the other?

Tried that. Flip the bar every time I change a chain. I have 10 chains I cycle through on a milling day. I have a new bar at home, I'll try that next time out.

How even is the chain?

Chains are as even as I can get em using my electric grinder. I sure don't use a micrometer.
Haven't done any milling, since the p"roblem" happened. I did have a look at the carriage the saw bolts to today, and I think it's bent.
Stay tuned.
