A buddy clears trail for the iditarod... says chains shatter awful easy at some certain temp so they just shut down the maintenance if it gets that cold.
Sorry Jeff.
I've run one down to -40 to -50 in Fbx. Never shattered a chain. In fact never even heard of it until this thread.
That sounds like a Reality TV statement.
ETA: After a minute of idle, the chain should be plenty warm to not be stressed. At those temps they will stretch a lot when warm and if the bar is not not loosened when done, the chain will tighten enough that they could break.
Could well be, I trust spencer ,but then again I don't recall if they actually shattered them, or were told to quit before it happened. I believe it was close to -50/60 at the time.
I'll have to get on him now, seems like a cheap way out of working, eh, boss, the saw will shatter... LOL.
I know it dang sure won't down here, not in our friggin 85 degree temps lately...
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
