I don't run much skip chain expect on the 36" bar.

I think you would be happier with a good non safety semichisel. Carton semi chisel is great for the sandy/rocky areas i cut in. Holds an edge about 5 times longer than regular chisel chain.

i try to use chisel all the time, but sometimes i have no choice. Semi chisel seems to hold up a little better in the barbed wire trees I have ran into to an extent. You still have to sharpen it once in a while. LOL

A good ol sparkler when a chain hits a rock doesnt seem to do as much damage as the cutters seem to glance off the rock, but to me, skip would seem to give a better chance for the rock to get into more of the cutter, doing a lot more damage with skip chain?

Right now I run 33RSC's on my 044. Just wondering if anything would hold up better or at least give me less sharpening time.

Skip chain will be much faster and easier to sharpen if you dull it.
Semi-chisle will dull just as much as any other chain if you run into a rock.
Skip sequence will not dull more than full sequence chain if you hit a rock.
Stop hitting rocks.

I know I know. And no matter how careful I am I just seem to just touch one and I freak out. Ugh, it's frustrating sometimes. :bang:

You could go with semi chisel semi skip or full skip semi, or semi skip full chisel.

Don't cut all the way trough the log from one side if it is on the ground, cut about 80% trough and roll it over to finish.

It may also help to use as short a bar as the situation allows.

I know I know, I even do that too. Problem is where I cut mostly is tall tall grass and a bed of leaves about 6" thick. When I'm cutting, even if it's only half way through sometimes, they'll be a stone on the backside and POP, it gets me. I've even used one of those log holders that you put the log up on, most of the stones I hit are attached to like the bottom side of the log and no bigger than say a dime. I was wire brushing like every single cut, but dang, that takes forever, I gotta have some productivity, lol... I guess most of the time when I really hit the stones is when I'm cutting on old stone walls, the log will roll and make me just touch a stone for a second. I don't even file my rakers anymore because of it. Whatcha gonna do eh?:bang:
