The only difference between green and yellow chain for most people is when plunge cutting (green won't plunge worth a crap). If you're just sawing firewood, then you may never notice the difference between green and yellow.

I have yet to get this myself. The green chain has the same cutter as the yellow. If the depth gauges are kept at the correct height tot he cutter, then the cutter gets the same bite, and cuts as good. Yes plunge cutting suffers. Yes the depth gauges or "rakers" require more work. The chain still cuts as good in most situations.





Yes, those are nice! :msp_smile:


WOW, ST & I agree on something :msp_sneaky: :laugh:
