Hmmmm......did some checking on the "chizzle chain". That seems to be the same as "chisel chain" or some other names. I get the part about it's shape, etc. but what I'm finding is that while it may cut fast in softwoods, it won't stay sharp for long in many dry hardwoods, which is what I'm up against.
At the same time, the PMM3 "safety chain" that came on the Stihl 170 I bought truly sucks when tackling anything larger than pruning green limbs, etc. Time from nice chips to fine dust measured in minutes vs. hours.
Guess what I'm trying to say is when it comes to saws, what may get drowned out in all the noise is the chain factor. When using that 032 Stihl with a freshly sharpened chain, I could feel the press of those big fingernail sized chips against my leg as it melted through a 1 foot log. The saw being part of it, but the chain and condition of the chain being used on it, being the other half of the equation. Perhaps with most on this list, that is a given, but not everyone is as aware of this as they should be.

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
