Bigger question from this chain race:

What did Ethan learn about styles of chain on certain wood? I know I learned something.

And:

How many beers were consumed in the process of making video?

The guy from PA?

Congratulations to the winner Nate Blakeslee, he was letter K and turned in an average 1.6 sec cut time.

Yup. great operator, and apparently, a pretty darn good chain filer.

I thought that was him but wasn’t going to post his name. He’s a good operator for sure.

I learned that although every chain was different, many of them cut well! This wood liked lower rakers, I’ll take that into account in the future.
A chain with no chassis work won, crazy isn’t it?!

I would consider the rakers on my chain fairly high.
The Carlton chain I sent came off the same square grinder with lower rakers. So how much sense does that make?

I do have an idea why my 3 cube chain was faster though.

Less voodoo

I didn't touch the rakers on either loop.

The way the saw was loaded up more on the DQ chain, maybe I should have lowered a little.

DQ has pretty low rakers, it seemed like the lower the rakers the better, except in Deets’ case, not sure why.

3 cube chains are pure voodoo[emoji23] I sucked at making them for the most part

The wood is important...
Wet or dry, it can make a huge difference.

The cottonwood up in Iowa will pull and rob power bad. As will the cottonwood here., but not everywhere apparently. Some growing conditions must make it more like aspen or popple.
