Recently purchased a Husqvarna C83 100' Roll

[Lightning Performance]

No one dones any advertising because their is a fair amount of work to be done.


Money talks Kenny

200- 300 should say a lot. I really don't have 30-40 hours to spend on a chain. I will buy a JR chain ifn he would sell any. Have cores to trade in

30-40 hours??? Must be a pretty big chain....

Is there any metal left after 30 to 40 hours of sharpening???

He did mention a 4” grinder.....

 

[RI Chevy]

Well. He said sharpened.
Just didn't say correctly...lol

I was told it takes that long to do all the work on a race chain. No? Maybe I was miss informed.

Just funnin ya Kenny. I basically do a simple hack work chain. Sometimes I put an hour into one getting it to cut the way I think it should. Just my preference. I do not like to lean on the bar. I prefer to let the chain do the work.
I don't do race chains. Far out of my league. Plus, my saws cut real wood. Trees, round ones with bark. And stuff...lol
Ding, ding...

You tell'em Jeff!lol

 

[Funky sawman]

You slackers cut anything yet

Yep, I actually wore it out already, been cutting blowdown with the 462 24 inch. Cuts great for a stock chain, don't take two strokes off the rakers with a this chain when new, it is quite grabby in stock form

New Husky chain arrived today.
26 gold colored tie straps for making loops and 26 boxes to put them in.
Very sharp on the roll.
Have not spun any up yet. Had plumbing work today and helped the neighbor a bit and now it time to slow down for the day.
The week is looking pretty full. Will post a note after spinning a loop or two.

The only saw I have .050” bars is my 346 on a 16”.

Same here. Husqvarna is "a little light in the loafers" for not making .063.

Schedule got a little discombobulated...
Spun up a couple chains just now.
Punching out the old rivets went the same as another other chain I've dealt with.
When spinning, the rivets seem softer than Stihl RMC 3/8 x 050.
Actually, the rivets feel pretty soft. Was using Schaeffer's Moly grease to help lube when spinning.
When spinning other chains, found the grease keeps my spinner from "creaking." Oil does not.

I like the gold colored tie straps. Directional arrow is easy to see. Once one the rivet part is oriented, just turn the gold side out on the strap and good to go.

No woodcutting lined up in the near future. Have about 16 1/2 cord split here at the house...So, could be a while before I get to try the new chain out.

Top chain was first attempt, bottom was 2nd.
The rub marks may indicate I was a touch too deep with the spinner, but the chains should be fine.

Looks good!

 

[I saw a lot]

Picked up a roll a couple months ago, but don't make loops. Gave to Edwin @Wood Doctor and he made me a few loops, but haven't tried it yet. I know he made some for himself and is liking how it cuts.

 

[PA Plumber]

It is very smooth chain right off the roll.
Have some I've sharpened once, but haven't ran it on a saw yet. Used the normal setting for Stihl chain on a USG (Stihl grinder).

Doubt I'll be doing much felling or bucking anytime soon. During covid, ended up scrounging around the neighborhood for wood and have so much right now I'm a little embarrassed.
Is there such a thing as too much firewood? Probably close to 30 cord here now. Neighbors have been asking if I sell it. Nope.
BTW, I live in a development. Looks a little funny all piled up in the back.

No worries. When they ask for wood to burn in their fire pits and fireplaces sell them a few sticks

Still no cutting here so haven't tried it yet. @Wood Doctor , how's it been working for you? Haven't talked in awhile.

This chain is every bit the equal or better than Oregon 72LGX100U. I have had no trouble with the loop I made whatsoever. My Husky 257 loves it. I'd recommend it to anyone.

But, lately it's been so blasted cold and the heavy snows have shut down my cutting for awhile (and all firewood deliveries). Operating the splitter and loading the truck would have been virtually impossible. Warming trend is on the way, but they are talking some more slippery white stuff tonight. Can't wait to see you again. Cheers!

That's what I paid for mine. Hmmm, wonder if I should order another roll. Got to think about it.
