Semi skip is almost as smooth as full comp. It's no where near as grabby in limbs. It's my favorite choice of chain for over 28" bars.

A 1/4" hose.........going to the shift valve bank on the side of the trans of my dozer.. just a half turn loose.. is apparently enough to make it loose up to 2 gallons of trans oil a day......... WOW... I found some other interesting tid bits too while I was under there.... some cracked gussets in the frame and a missing pin I have some work to do that's for sure. Slayer... I'll take some pics for ya ..

I really like the Oregon JGX round chisel full skip. If ya keep the chain speed up it's really not that grabby. I find Oregon less aggressive than stihl generally, so the same may not apply to full skip stihl chisel. I rarely use bars less than 24", so haven't bought any full comp in a while

I have used full comp on a 130 DL bar. There's a whole lot of teeth to sharpen on them.

Ive been running half/semi skip for a few years. The way I came to use it I got loops of full , semi skip, and full comp in 32" lengths. Did a bunch of comparison in some big doug fir and came up with semi skip. For me it cut faster than full skip but was less boggy than full. Differant cutting styles heavy handed or light handed makes a differance as well. I run it on 32" bars on an 066 and ported 372xpw

I have some big 'ens to drop in the morning! Super nice oak set in a drawl, look like (6) cutters if they are sound...and that's a big "IF".
Had to butt off almost 50% of what I dropped today. Ran into one of the most vast sets of oak bore kill I have seen...gonna take pics of it 2moro, upwards of 40% dead not counting what will be dead next year. Oddly enough, the bigger dead standing timber is almost always sound, to where the live timber has rot and shake, plus fire rings.

I can't believe I'm getting pulled off this set after 2moro. I now estimate another month of solid cutting on this tract. Meh...I want to go cut the massive pine set anyway!

No kidding. A grinder really helps. It's still a pile of gullets and rakers to file.
