    Got to work on the trees we took down to put in our driveway for a few hours today. Hopefully will get to fire up the splitter tomorrow. [​IMG]

    It might be time to take the chains in to a pro, Seems like I can only get them so sharp with the hand file. I don't seem to make it a full tank before i'm seeing mostly sawdust

    Probably a good idea but if you do, then don't cut more than a tank full of gas before you sharpen and you should not have a problem keeping the same angles. And don't forget the depth gauges or rakers.

    Nice work! And holy crap your grass is green there! It’s still very “wintery” where I am.

    Nothing wears you out more than a dull chain! Been there done that. My reset button is the grinder. Seems to take more material, but sometimes a good option.

    Got time with the splitter tonight, excited to see what took a little over a year and a half accumulate before we lived on the property, has only taken 5 mos to refill. Should be on to year two before the end of the month. Also had some helpers that were excited for tractor time before bed
