Pardon my ignorance, but do you use the same bar for bucking/falling as well as milling? I know a ripping chain is best used for milling purposes versus a regular one but can you buck and fell using a ripping chain as well or do I need to get multiple bars and multiple chains for multiple purposes? Thanks
As Dave said, the same bars are fine for Falling, Bucking and Milling, but I have been Happy so far just using a Full skip chain for milling as well.
I haven't tried a ripping chain yet milling to compare the difference. Technique is as important as chain. Most find it more comfortable to mill with the bar at a slight angle, rather than perfectly perpendicular to the log, typically with the Nose of the bar slightly leading the powerhead. what is important, is to pick an angle and hold it consistent, NOT sesawing the nose and powerhead back and forth while milling, that can leave marks
