You are probably right Bob - I resolved earlier today to learn more about sharpening the chain. I have a grinder/sharpener that's been sitting in a box for a few years, and some homework to do !Thats the sort of cutting speed I would expect in wood that twice as hard as white oak.
There should be no need for two people to push on 2ft wide cuts so it sounds like you still have a chain issue.
Have also been poring over the milling stickies and Maloff's book as well.
