Hello all,
I have just rounded out my small stable of saws with a new MS 192 with a 12" bar for limbing, on the ground, and have been reading about people putting different chains on saws for different applications. My other two main saws are a 20" 361, with a bad-a$$ muffler mod by Bowtie, and a stock 28" 385 XP. I really only use them to cut firewood with, which is usually downed already in the woods, and occasionally drop dead trees for neighbors, if it's really safe. I only use the 385 for the trunks. My question is what type chain would be ideal for me, as I hear people talking about skip and others I don't know about. I don't do any plunge cuts, and I'm pretty careful about kickback situations, so the fastest cutting is what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.
