When I took down that cherry with a nearly horizontal top half I experienced something during the bucking process yet encountered. The 395 felt as though it wouldn’t always grab and cut. Like it was floating on top of the kerf. I know the rakers are set well and the chain is sharp. It didn’t pull into the cut as usual. Pulling it back out and pushing it back in helped. When it cut, it cut well. Also seemed like the bar would pinch even when not in compression. Is this due to fiber structure being twisted and under immense stress due to the extreme lean and common in a tree like that?
