Yep.

The chunks just get bigger as your iron gets bigger. I have had trees to big for the atom splitter on the mini. Noodle, sledge/wedges, and some times a bottle jack. But Sancho’s donkey, Domingo, has helped cut down the need to break down chunks.

Another tip is to not dog up tight to the chunk give yourself a few inches. It will help keep the noodles form packing around the sprocket.

I wouldn’t bother switching chains. Ripping is harder on the saw overall and is slower. You want to noodle the logs with your regular chain. Your chain should be pulling long strips of wood as the saw chips, hence the noodle reference.
