    I ain't gonna spend quite so much time on the 84dl chain race...
    In case Stihl bro didn't know yet, there's a chain race happenin' Nov 1 at the GTG in Carthage if he wants in on the fun...
    It's a lot of cutters, ain't exactly an all out race chain build, unless someone's feeling sporty..
    It'll run on a ported 562xp in clean, wood.. Cottonwood most likely...

    I'm sure he'd like to get in on this. I didn't do a whole lot to the chains I plan to send. Mostly clean gullet and good angles.

    I may have to try that too. I'm a sucker for trying new stuff with chain.

    It was for a ported 088. I ended up filing it again with less hook to get it able to run it without stalling. I put too much hook and hit the rakers when I did it.
