Finally had the opportunity to try my Iggesund Forest R2 bar and give my Dolmar PS-7900 a workout she never experienced thus far!
It cost me a dull 115DL round filed chisel chain though!
The workout object?
A walnut root ball which had been unearthed a year ago, about 44" wide at the narrower side, still dirt infected.
Cut two slices intended for table tops, the first cut went well, the second not so much as I must have gotten into embedded dirt about 2/3 through the cut. Also the second cut was directly through the roots - needless to say that the chain wasn't very happy and refused to bite. I had to reduce throttle to decrease chain speed and give the chain time to grab on to the hard root wood.
Pictures below.
Never mind the loose chain, I was about to switch the bar out for a 20" when I thought of taking some pictures, as such the bar nuts were already loose and the chain loosened up.
