Log Processor chain spec

[AndyChalmers]

Hi Guys,

I am after some advice. I have a Japa 370 PTO & Derv Japa 305 log processor. Both run Husky bars & .325 chains. I am running std semi chisel oregon chains. I just file to std chainsaw specs by hand on the machines however on my 370 15" bar keeps getting stuck in the log even when sharp (has always been fine), so think my angles are wrong so just purchased a granburg precision grinder from chainsawbars to correct everything which got me thinking.

 

I was just wondering what would be the best suited chain type & spec for a fast cut? eg full chisel, depth settings, different angles etc

 

What are others useing?

 

Thanks

Hi Andy

 

Run a 15" bar on our Farmi. Now use a full chisel Oregon chain. To help avoid it stopping in the log make sure you don't over file down the rackers as taking too big a cut can do this. Used to use a semi chisel but find the full chisel faster but less forgiving if not perfectly sharp. Both types sharpened to normal angles by hand with a file and guide.

Check your bar as well, make sure the sides are smooth and not got burrs on.
