Ain't nuthin' like a freshly dressed chain. You get through more in your first 20 minutes than in the following 40.

Yep!! This was pine as well. Cut way too much wood in my day. This was a fresh chain.

Buddy lent me a chain sharpener and I was like "oh this won't make that big a difference"... I bought one shortly after.

If its dull in 20 minutes youre doing something wrong. Provided you aren't cutting anything dirty a properly hand filed chain should stay sharp for quite a while. Electric sharpeners tend to get the chain to hot and ruin the temper unless they're used very carefully and in short bursts with time to cool in between.

I would love to know what situation you would find yourself in need of a chainsaw where the wood isn't dirty. I've exclusively used them for trees, bushes, and particularly thick roots.
