Most of the breaks I have read of were at the master link, or where a crimped link was not crimped properly.
I had an acquaintance who bought one 300D I had considered buying, They were more decisive than I. Some time later their mechanic convinced them that their T/Chain needed replacing. They allowed him to replace it and 2 weeks later the new chain separated at the poorly crimped master link.
Just about broke their hearts. It was a peach of a 300D - IMMACUMATE.
