Husqvarna X Cut C83 Chain - 3/8 x 050 ~ some videos

[PA Plumber]

Finally got out to cut a little today.
Bark to bark: 37" Diameter Red Oak
C83 ~ Husqvarna 3/8 x 050 x 105 DL Chain
Saw: Ported Stihl 440 with 32" Bar.

Well....the tube just disabled my account. I'm guessing because of the "X-Cut" name of the chain.
Here's what I noticed about the C83
- Was not jumpy in the cut with the 32" bar like Stihl RMC is. In fact, it's incredibly smooth.
- Noodles similar to other semi-chisel chain.
- Husky approx. cutter size is .379 long x .167 wide. It's shorter than all the 3/8 x 050 semi-chisel chain I had to measure including, Stihl RMC, Homelite, Windsor, Total.
- Width is a touch wider than most.
- Chain is very free spinning around the bar when getting ready to use it for the first time.
- Loosens up like every other pre-stretched chain I have ever used. After snugging it up 3 times it seemed to quit stretching as much.

I do have 3 videos from today.
Will link them if/when I'm not in banned camp anymore.

Did they permanently disable your account, or just give you a strike? YT has been hitting a lot of saw guys hard, especially if you're not monetized.[emoji19]

Thanks for the info on the chain! Sounds like it's smoothe, have you ran the chain enough to get a feel about the durability?

They permanently disabled it. I did send in a review request. Just a sawing vid. Seems kind a odd.

Blocked 7 rounds and noodled them into 4-6 pieces each. Starting to notice it’s not noodling as well but still crosscutting fine. Still has a “grabby” point .

Got my videos back. Nothing fancy, just some cutt'n.
