Today, I tried to kill my new chain. The new VX chain did awesome! I had my 85 F-250 loaded down heavy (@2ft over cab). I went thru a gallon of gas and the chain kept on cutting (lodge pole pine). When I go home, I decide to hit that nasty tamarack that killed my factory chain in a couple of cuts. This chain ate it up like it was butter and kept on going :coolsmile:
Gave the Husky 142 and new chain a work out

I had no idea what a Tamarack was so had to lookup . .looks like its a Northern tree (Canada, Alaska) but also grows in AZ ?
Tamarack or tamarisk, I have been told either name. It grow in washes, what we call dried up streams that only run when it rains. Lots of silica and dirt in the wood.
