Nah I tried I tried it on my 441 and a 20" bar and it would get hung up in the knots of the softest firs. Went back to a 7 pin and it is unstoppable.On the trees in the PNW, using full skip square, it should be fine. Louisiana? Dunno.
Yeah, but that's a 441, never run one that felt as strong as a 44. I've run 8 tooth sprockets on 044/440s with 28" bars a lot. Have to keep your square ground chain sharp, can't run your rakers lower than .025. On the upside, you can just let the saw eat through the wood with very little pressure and let the chainspeed stay high. That setup can run fast... if you are conservative with your raker height and how hard you push the saw and if you are in softwoods. The 7 tooth is more forgiving for sure.Nah I tried I tried it on my 441 and a 20" bar and it would get hung up in the knots of the softest firs. Went back to a 7 pin and it is unstoppable.
