Sharpening them doesn't stop them snapping.
...and yes, hence the "generic Chinese chainsaw comment".
I got a professional in for the bigger trees...5-6ft girth on the trunks...he snapped a bunch of chains too on his high dollar professional gear.
Edit: cutting a tree down is harder than it looks too when you've not done it before and don't google it...
Lesson 1. gotta get that wedge just right or your saw is stuck in the trunk with the weight of the tree on it. -

2018-10-24 at 1:30 PM UTCSee what this idiot did...he cut the wedge and then continued cutting diagonally on the same side as the wedge, up to down...should have been on the other side of the wedge.

2018-10-24 at 1:37 PM UTCI've had a couple of McCulloch chain saws but I've never broken a chain.
One thing that a lot of people don't know is that the bar will develop a lip on the cutting edge from the friction of the chain. You can feel it catch your fingernail. You then need to file the lip off. You should also flop the bar every once in a while.
Stupid foreigners and their broken chains. SMHThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

We use a wench, with a Jeep Cherokee here on the little Ponderosa.. I've never seen a broken chainsaw chain, but I'm sure they can occur... -

No, but the wood seemed hard...I know when I was doing it (with a new chain) the damn thing had a hard time going through it and often "burned" the wood so it was black/smoking.
Don't know what sort of trees they were but it was like cutting through iron on some of them. -

If your chain was getting hot it may have been due to a blocked chain oil hole. To test hold the tip of the chainsaw, against something clean, like some paper or a window and rev it up - you should see chain oil spray on whatever it is. If you don't notice chain oil emptying at about the same rate as petrol, same deal.
Or the chain might be a bit blunt, you should carry a hand file that works with your chain and use it often. When you can lightly rub your hand against the (stopped) chain without feeling it catching, it's blunt.
Or it might just be really good wood. I dunno, wasn't there. -

3 chains per tree or a chain per three trees? are you cutting solid black oak or are you cutting giant ass Sequoia trees a mile wide?
I used the same chain and cut every fucking tree and broke them all down with a cheap electric chainsaw. kept kicking at times but I got through it.. no injuries or nicks. -
2018-10-24 at 6:08 PM UTCI learned about trees on this last property we bought. cutting all the existing trees out except a few.
this is retarded. don't cut anything below 2 feet.. use a stump remover.
