Bryce I've never worked with the unit you have, so I can't give direct advice on the chain, only general advice on some strange things to look for. One thing I have encountered with drive chains is brackets or supports bending under severe load, throwing the sprocket alignment off. Everything might look lined up straight with the machine not running or even with someone riding along watching it run. But once in awhile there will be a heavy surge load that will spring things just enough to cause a misalignment for a second or two. Most times the chain will stay on during that stressful second or two but once in awhile the chain will jump. I about pulled my hair out on three grain platforms on combines throwing the reel drive chain till I finally figured out a little wear caused the support that holds the orbit motor would spring sideways and throw the chain but only under a short shock load. On one of them I finally had to adjust it so the sprockets ran misaligned all the time, then the chain stayed on. Go figure!
