TOPS Chopper Test DART vs Tom Brown Trackr 1

[bigbill1989022]

I posted this elsewhere a while back and never thought to post it here.

While at my buddy's house helping him clear out a small pasture for his horse we decided to take a break and test his tracker against the dart and see which was a better chopper and hands down the dart won. It was all about blade shape and grinds, the tracker's grind was way to abrupt to bite deep into the wood while the darts thinner grind let it bite deep and clear more wood.

Thanks Bill

Always liked the DART's design. MistWalker also has very nice review of it sometime back.

What I see from your video though is not that the Tracker couldn't out-chop the DART (it even looks like it has more precise "bite" marks) BUT the thing is it has a limited "sweet spot" on the hatchet side of the blade. You really have to hit it on that specific area to get the most of the action. The DART obviously doesn't suffer from this. Is this accurate from your experience?
