Ran into one of the local loggers today and since I've been on a chain kick lately I had to ask him what chain he uses. He completely surprised me I was thinking stihl or oregon 3/8 chain , he answered 3/8 Husky skip chain !! Said its all he uses he can sharpen in the field fast and can't see any difference in cutting speed . With less cutters I thought it would definitely be slower cutting but was used for long bars on saws that were under powered or chip clearance . So whats the scoop his info is accurate I'm sure ,he makes his living with a saw why isn't skip chain the normal chain to use.
