I've been getting a few e-mails of guys who tried the .325 on their top handle saws and are saying the only complaint is the chain stalls in the cut easily.
Well I can admit when I first switched over to .325 I was so used to pushing on the former 3/8 LoPro,that now with the dogs set with the .325 's aggressive bite I had the same problem.
Of course with guys who "one hand" a top handle saw use the dogs. But get used to the new aggressive bite of the .325, let the chain do the cutting.

For the guys who "properly" use these saws with 2 hands ,get rid of the dogs.
People have to realize that running a top handle saw aloft doing aerial work, the bar /chain is usually inches away from your face and upper body.
 Another reason why Stihl put all the safety links on the new aggressive Picco chisel sawchain, knowing alot of climbers cut 1 handed.
