Flail chain including interlocking chain links, at least one chain link being a passing link, the passing link having first and second segments and outer and inner perimeters, wherein the first segment is generally semi-circular and includes a weld section and the second segment includes a stabilizing portion on the outer perimeter opposite the weld section. The first segment includes rounded portions on each side of the weld section and the second segment including two rounded ends on each side of the stabilizing portion and the two rounded ends being continuous with rounded ends of the first segment. The stabilizing portion including at least two spaced apart points on the outer perimeter that stabilize the link on a surface such that the link can slide on the surface without changing its orientation relative to the surface. The invention further includes debarking devices and methods of manufacturing flail chains. |
