Sounds smooth, yet aggressive.

2nd run at about 14300. Much better here. Saw is super strong. Loves to cut with dogs in. Nice.

Your saw is running great. I'd be hesitant to rum that chain though, for fear that it would spin or beat the PTO bearing out of the case.

Mofo Worksaws ported 044 fat at 14k still breaking in, I turned it up to 15 k shortly after the video and it likes that. Pine is fun to cut

I was wondering about the way the saw was dancing in the cut? All the more reason to wear chaps.

Believe it or not this was an out of the box bar and chain. I believe the issue was the wood. Very hard and dry. But I do see where both of you are coming from.
And I do usually wear chaps when I cut, but I only made about 5 or 6 cookies for video purposes only. I need to find some green wood to try. I had my prior chain that was much worse than this setup in the same wood. I took the rakers down too much on that chain. I have to file some more off the cutters to smooth it out.

Save that chain for softwood. It's already set up to eat fresh pine and such.

A good friend of mine went out to trim a few branches one day, and he was only making three cuts....

I've had some Oregon lgx that was aggressive out of the box before.

And his sandals didn't save him from discombobulating his ankle?

Interesting. I always thought the new box chain was fairly mild. In my video it does look like it was biting. More related to wood than chain I think. I gotta go find some green wood and do a couple more vids. Saw was wicked strong though.

I've had some stihl full chisel chain out of the box before that was borderline violent it was so aggressive

Not a saw video but put some 32:1 klotz in the kids' 49 cc scooters and enjoy the smell each time they go by. They are waking up plenty of power got em set at 9000 and they still 4 cycle at top speed. Running cool.

I find that bigger dawgs/spikes exaggerate the chain a bit and make it seem more agressive especially if you don't let the saw start biting before you push. I watched the video again and it seems your spikes are hanging up on log. Hard to say without actually being there. Does it jerk like that if you hold the saw spikes away from the wood? Many things could be contributing to the jerky cutting.... agressive chain, big spikes and a moving log?
