Husqvarna chainsaw questions
Some of our chain. Project chain. Our good chains are on the fire engine and Hotshot buggies. When the chain gets sharpened down too far it’s retired and we use it on prescribed fire, brushing , and clearing projects.
The teardrop shaped bar is a brush bar used for, well, brush. The tip of a regular bar has a pretty tight radius and the brush bar is big and round allowing for less chain speed to be lost going around the tip. They aren’t used much anymore because you can’t cut trees with them. In our work we might be cutting brush and come across an oak with fire in the top. We can’t waste the time on the fire ground to switch out bars or call another saw over that has a regular bar on it.
One of these chains ain’t like the other! One is a full skip and one has a cutter every four links. Kickback city but cuts aggressively through big stuff. These two chains aren’t good for the inexperienced or in brush where you’re cutting 3-4” diameter or less.
