After about 1/4 of a tank on a PS-5100S, I grazed a moss-covered rock, and "ground" off the chrome on the top of several cutters - no salvage for that chain (Oregon 73LGX-60). :sad4:

My Dad was cutting a city Tree in Elkhart IN It was this huuugeee walnut! He was just bucking off the end with his 075 and WHAM, it woudlnt cut at all took the saw out of the cut and there wasnt any teeth left on the saw. Turns out there was a cannonball in the middle of this crotch!
I hit a 16" saw chain in center of a 30" maple . Bad part i trimmed a cherry tree next to it back in 66 and hit wire fence and i think i left it laying their .
I have killed a chain within minutes of starting. It is going to happen sooner or later if you cut enough.
One thing that surprises me though - it sounds like a bunch of you guys don't carry spare loops with you? Really? I always have at least 1 and usually 2 spare loops, a spare bar, bar nuts, pull ropes etc. It all goes in a kit bag so I don't have to remember to grab the stuff.
In fact I typically carry a second saw as well to deal with demon possessed trees that pinch or crush my primary saw.
When I am on a cutting mission, I mean to cut dang it!
