Talk about poor timing. This happened 10 seconds into the back cut. That was the end of the cutting day for the 026. Luckily had the 460 close by and grabbed that to finish the cut. 18" dbh ash. Love finding nails in a tree. Ripped off almost all the left side cutters. Right side looks fine. Glad it was a 12' spar and not the whole tree. Looks like the chain has beaks from sharpening too far into the tooth. Guessing that might have been a contributing factor.
