Picking a race chain with video

[Sty57]

Yuuup

Hmnnmm..... Guess I need to get a few to try.

That's what I was thinking Cole.
Is it better to push or let the chain feed or both?
Balancing act between the 2?

To me it’s a balancing act based on how you operate a saw and how aggressive the chain is. A really aggressive chain won’t like a 9-11 and you pushing on it. Unless your saws an animal.

Balance of chain, how you run a saw, and the saw itself.

Like Clint said...get a few different ones and take a vid making some down cuts. See what’s the fastest.

I have up to an 11...you can try out a few if you want. I can send them to ya.

Thanks Cole.
I might take up that offer.
I'm not quite ready yet but I'm getting closer.

I like animals..

And large gears...

 

[Hedgerow]

Don’t wanna have to push to hard..
It messes up the changeovers.

 

[Redfin]

And spatchcocked changovers just suck.

 

[Hedgerow]

Tru dat..

Most big saws cut faster on the way down with a bigger sprocket. A 12 was 25% faster than a 10 on the 394. But they're too easy to stuff in the upcut. I went back to a 9 .

My hybrid was faster on the upcut with a 9 at Randy’s place

That's what the 7900 runs too

Probably depends on sharpness and raker height as much as cc though. I'm sure we could kill a 394 with a 7 tooth if we wanted, or vise versa and run a 9 on a 346.
