Ripping chain vs cross cutting chain

[Drew87]

BillPierce,,

Thats my understanding of the Difference in the Chains .. Ripping Chains should be much faster than X-Cutters.. as they are designed to rid MORE material.. (ie: Cutting teeth & Clearing teeth) VS (Cutting teeth Only, which run blunt quicker too) If not,,

There's something pretty wrong with the Set Up..

(My understanding of the two Chains designs)

OREGON Ripping 73RD 3/8" x .058" (1.5mm) -  64 Drive Links

73DPX064E - Oregon 73DPX Chainsaw Chain - 64 Drive Links × 1

 

 

 

 

Rob.. Could the Nose Sprockt of Failed because the Bar & Chain isn't a good match / just simply not compatible.?? And that be the reason for the failure.??

Im using slighty diff chains as that on 42" bar,, same Oregon (75RD-3/8) but is 1.6mm

 

Are you sure they're all Matched Properly Hunter.? (Drive Sprocket, Bar & Chain.?)
