I think he's being facecious...a 362 will fall on it's face with that combo.

A few follow-up questions.

I appreciate the help gentlemen! For those of you that went beyond advice of "a sharp one" and suggestions of .404 chain, I have a few follow up questions?

It seems the consensus is I should check out both the RMC and RSC chains.

I will do my best to keep the chain sharp and the saw well maintained. When I spoke of dirty wood, I was thinking of dirt/sand lodged in the bark. I do try and keep my bar out of the dirt.

My final questions:

What makes semi-chisel better for dirty wood than full chisel?

Which chain (semi or full chisel) cuts "faster" when kept up?

Is one or the other easier to sharpen and do they require different sharpening techniques?

.50 or .63 guide bar. Thoughts?

What is a 079?

Stihl 079 av saw

 

[ticat928]

.404 .063 gauge 16" bar 9 pin sprocket, square ground full skip.

This would not be safe to use, the large diameter of the 9-pin .404 rim (if available) would allow the chain to side step the bar groove on the much smaller mount profile of the 362 bar.

This is a joke of course to weed out the Greenhorns (getting whacked with a chain is not so funny)

Is it true that Stihl chain is made of harder material than oregon or Carlton

RS chain has sharp point that is very easily damaged and game over

RM doesn't have the sharp point

I believe it's a 33RSF your looking for. That's what I run on my ms362 w/25" bar. Very fast cutting.
