Firewood fella says in a 9 hour shift on the saw I'm cutting 35 crates worth of hardwood. Some of it is pretty rough, cone split stuff as well. Messy but I'd say that's a no bad result. 

You animal you ! 😁

If it's that bad I'd look seriously at some semi-chisel, cut is a bit slower but you'd spend a lot less time filing and the chains last longer.

I've a reel of full chisel now so I refuse to buy any loops or anymore reels as I'm tight af. Otherwise I would. 
 

@Stubby Not sure if that's sarcastic 😂

Try sharpening a standard full chisel chain with a hexa file... Sublime in softwood. Thank me later.

I run semi on my 261 all the time, fed up hitting rubbish in garden trees. I'd guess it lasts 4 times as long so even if you bought one loop it'd save you money.

I would if it were hard af all the time. But cutting for harvester drivers so got to be a bit quick when going.

No that I'm quick. Slower than a bank holiday weekend in the cell

In production forestry you would soon get frustrated by the lower performance. When skidding out softwoods in the bad old days the guy crosscutting at the landing would used an 80cc saw with 15" semi chisel and wind it in to the cut because the dirt would knock the tip off full chisel in no time.
