Of course dirt should be avoided with the chain at all costs, but my thought is that it may be less dulling to the chain if the muddy side of the log faces you when cutting. That way the mud and dirt are not neccessarily cut and dragged thru the cut by the teeth, but sort of pushed out and quickly expelled by the teeth. Agree?
It gets tiring using scrapers and wire brushes- especially with frozen mud. I wish I had an extra $50K to get a debarker because I HATE the tedium of sharpening chains.
