Does it make a difference? I've been running 8T on my 066 with a 42" bar / 36" mill, and a properly sharpened skip tooth chain seems to work fine. I picked up some (insanely cheap) Oregon LGX chain (non-skip tooth) and I'm worried that at 42", I'm going ot have trouble pulling that through 30+ inches of oak.
Can any of you tell me your experience with 7T vs. 8T rim sprocktes? Do I get better pulling power with a 7T, or is it just a rumor?
I now sharpen my own chain after a dealer "messed up" one of my expensive chains and I'm very carefull with the depth of my rakers... not too deep, so that part of it is taken care of.
One of these days I hope it doesn't matter.. I've got a 2nd 066 so I hope to set up a double ended bar some day... vroom vroom! Know of any used double ended bars for sale?
To the collective wisdon of AS, I offer my thanks,
