Has anyone tried any of the factory square ground Husqvarna chain? I didn't even know it existed until this morning:

You sharpened a loop of that for me 18 months ago😉. Worked great until it came off the bar in a chain throwing incident and 6+ drive links are damaged beyond repair. It was a 28“ loop and i‘d like to see if I could take those out and make it 25“. H83 was their number for it.

I guess I never realized that it was Husqvarna x-cut chain :roto2nuse:

Have not tried thier factory square but C85 filed square is the peak of clean wood chains for me.

I'll die on this hill - Husky chain is the best stuff out there now. I have had quality issues with Stihl and Oregon lately while the husky chains just work from new untill the end. I just need to them to start making 404

Husqvarna made the right move a couple years ago, with X-cut and started making there own chain in Sweden ,

I've been running the C83 Full Chisel a little while now. I like the chain but it doesn't seem very durable with my "big" saw.
I've sheared off a few cutters in dry standing White ash and Rock Maple.
The teeth were ground down to about 1/2 original length and the "big" saw is a monkeyed 500i with a 7 pin.
It did fine with a monkeyed Stihl 440. The 500 must be a little too zippy.

Aww mannnn, I should have thought of taking some pictures... I tossed the chain in my metal recycling bin for the chopper.
I'll go out and look now to see if I still have it.
Stuck at home with covid for a few days.

Edit: Just looked. Bin is almost empty. I must have recycled after I tossed it in there.
I've been more careful to run the sharpened X-cut in softer wood.
If It happens again...I'll get some pics.

If they offered it in standard sequence, I might order a roll to give it a try. Being they only have it in skip, I thought I might try a 114dl loop and see how it does.
I bought a roll and a half of this h83 skip square ground, I can make you some loops if you want to try it out. The seller just labeled it as 3/8 .63 chisel when I brought it.
