I have a little Craftsman/Poulan ATV/Jeep trail saw with a 16 inch bar and the low kickback chain was worn out and I don't like the low kickback chains so I installed this $14 Oregon chain to get a good aggressive cut
91VXL056G Oregon 16" Professional chainsaw chain 3/8 LP .050 56 DL Pro S56
And the little saw cuts green pine ok but if I get it into a green Oak the chain gets too much bite for the little saw in the hardwood and stalls the saw. (some of this model Poulan saw came out with a 10 inch bar)
I wanted a aggressive cut chain (so I thought) but I have to just use part of the 16 inch bar and even then hold back and not let it get a big bite in Oak or hardwood. I'm thinking it might be ok as the teeth gets worn back somewhat or the chain gets little bit duller.
Any ideas? (such as sharpen the teeth at more of an angle when I hand file it sometime later)
They are now at 30 degrees and the drags are at .025 on the new chain
