Full or Skip Chisel on a 570

[bajapower]

Anyone think a 570 with a 24" bar would have a problem pulling a full chisel chain? or should i stick with a skip /semi chisel?

We don't know how it performs in your wood, so just try the different options!

This should be an automatic response for any chain related question. Thanks Troll. I like no BS blunt posts.

The 570 should pull full comp on a 24, but it definately would be happier with skip, and filing is a heck of a lot faster.

Try both, and I think you'll like the skip for everything but whippy limbs, even if it is a bit slower bucking.

Stay safe!

I don't really agree regarding the filing, as you obviously have to do it more often, with 2/3 as many cutters doing the same job.

Nah!!!

Touch up every refuel break, and there is no difference except less time spent.

HARDWOODS Troll.

What kink of wood are you cutting?

My 570 does a great job with; red and white oak softer maples and white pine w/full comp 24 inch bar. I like the skip in the realy pulp stuff for chip clearing.
I would recommend as stated above, try them both $20 is not a bad price to see if it makes your work easier.
