    Well after posting this .... I have given the chain another hand sharpen ................... And cut the rest of the trunk up without any problems. As soon as I got about 2metres along the trunk ... the bark wasn't a problem any longer. Amazing. Who would have thought ****ty soft pine could dull a chain almost instantly. The bark around the lower part of the tree must have been full of dirt and stones as suggested.

    I can cut pine all day and not have to resharpen....you either had stones in there, or sometimes wire has been known to be in a tree, where the tree grows around the wire. To cause sparks, you had something other than timber in there!

    I always use full chisel - especially on green wood. Semi chisel chain is crud.
    I used to run a Sachs Dolmar 166 cutting good quality firewood (mostly white box) with full chisel with the rakes well maintained and it would sail through it.
