The equipment manufacturer probably used double pitch chain because by the foot it was cheaper than single pitch chain because it has half the pieces per foot (the double pitch chain). And if the maker was big enough, casting sprockets with double pitch was a good enough product. And I know I have IH planter sprockets that were cast and only the bore was machined, not the sprocket. Then there may be a slight argument that the double pitch chain will handle trash a little better. I see in my Shoup catalog that it depends on the source and the size whether double pitch chain is cheaper than single per foot. Its true sometimes and in manufacturing quantities is more likely to be true. Gerald J.
