It will depend on the wood and raker depth. It should be fine as long as it's in a softer cant.

Knowing Matt it will be a soft cant.
I was over at his place a couple wks ago and he had a pine log that was the hardest pine I have ever ran a saw in it must be the dirt around there it just makes hard wood.

 

[mdavlee]

Yeah he told me about the junk pine he found.

Still think he should find a ditch and cut a Cottonwood outta there. [emoji106]

That's cool... I always wanted to run one of your 066's...
I'll distract Randy with a pie, and go run it while he ain't looking...

Thanks. That chain was an old work chain I use every now and then for clean wood. It would really cut and I'm sad it doesn't have enough tooth left to file maybe one more time.

I know. I thought about pulling that chain apart and putting it together as a 60dl

I've been buried with stuff for others. I've got about 7hrs in my chain so far. I still need to file and gut the left-hand hand cutters, tunnel, some inside work on the rakers, ugh... lots more. I better get a 30-pack.
