Heavy-duty harvester chain specifically engineered for mechanical harvester machines and large-scale commercial logging equipment 

Part of Carlton's "HC" (Harvester Chain) series

Designed to withstand the extreme speed and hydraulic pressure generated by harvester heads like those found on Komatsu or Ponsse machines

Technical Specifications
Pitch: .404" (Large pitch for high-performance cutting)

Gauge: .080" (2.0mm) (Extra-thick drive link to handle high torque)

Cutter Type: Chamfer Chisel / Semi-Chisel (Provides a balance of fast cutting and durability in abrasive or dirty conditions)

Application: Mechanical Harvesting / Wood Processors

Cross-Reference: It is often used as a replacement for the Oregon 18HX chain

Key Features
High-Strength Alloy Steel: Built with nickel alloy steel for maximum durability and resistance to stretching under the intense heat of mechanical milling

Industrial Chrome Plating: The cutters are coated in hard industrial chrome to maintain a sharp edge longer during continuous operation

Pre-Sharpened: Like other Carlton chains, it is sharpened after assembly, so it is ready to work immediately out of the box

Roto-Blasted Components: The drive links and cutters are shot-peened (roto-blasted) to increase tensile strength and reduce the risk of chain breakage under high tension

Important Safety Note
The B8HC chain is not for handheld use. Because it is a .080"-gauge chain, it will not fit standard chainsaw bars (which typically max out at .063" gauge), and it lacks the low-kickback safety features required for manual operation
