Fabtek 3/4 harvester chain 11H055E vs 11H056E

Good Day,
Just wondering if the 11H056E chain will work on a Fabtek saw system which currently uses a chain 11H055E.

I'm think it would be one drive link longer and it should work, may have to remove one link.

Got a chance to buy 14 chains at a good bargain but its not good if they don't fit

.

Thanks for your help.

Other than the extra link, it is the same chain. You will have to remove one drive.

How rough is your sprocket ? Could always jump up 1 pin size. The price of the gear to spin 3/4 has gotten nuts, but a set up is worth it if your mending enough chain.

Like said, I think it will be to loose and fly off. Remove one. My chains have gone up about $12 in the last two years. Not bad if you compare it to other inflation. Also if you can try the bc chain over the H. It's much better in hardwood in my opinion. And better for hand filing.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi All,

Any one know how to adjust the saw motor hydro pressure, also is the saw chain suppose to spin backwards after the cut ?

It looks like the chain spins in reverse and runs of the bar causing it to break.

Thanks for your help.

Just wondering what methodologies you guys use for the auto tensioner or some tips and tricks on how you replace your bars and chains.

I've swapped them out a couple times when I've ripped the nose off the bar or broke a chain.

I just put new noses on the bars and now I'm struggling to get the new chain on.

Thanks in advance!
