What chain do you run on your processor.

Recently bought a Farmi and it is a great machine but surprised it uses a micro chisel chain. I only ever use full chisel on my saws and wondered why a processor would need the a micro chisel unless it is expected that cord is always dirty.

 

What do you recon?

Blokes I cut with use semi chisel chain to cut hardwood as they say it holds a better edge. Don't see it myself always use full chisel.

 

A hakki I used only had full chisel on it but did need sharpening at least once a day.

Likewise harvester chain usually semi-chisel. Abrasion resistance... Reckon full-chisel could judder like hell on a processor.

I used to use a bindenberger 450 with a full chisel chain on and if you were in some oak the chain used to normally last an hour at best before it needed sharpened. least little bit of dirt in the rough bark and that was the chain goosed. stand back when it was sharp though

Sounds like I should I stick with what it came with.

Thanks all

Don't mind a bit of sharpening and think I am not to bad at it but current blades do about 15-20 ton before needing a sharpen so will not mess with setup.
