The wood shed is around 50 ft away, but I have pallets of wood spread out in different locations up to 1500 ft away.
I would hold off on splitting for at least a couple of weeks. You will stress the injured arm if you are using the other arm heavily.
Looks like 2 or 3 of the chains can be square filed. Great for clean wood!
Where skip chain works shines is with longer bars/bigger wood. It is grabby with limbs/smaller wood. With a standard length bar recommended for...
This is the one from Harbor Freight I was referring to: [IMG] Large rounds on edge will center on the center tubes. If you flip the round flat,...

I put around 100 hours a year on mine.
I got almost 500 hour on mine before the idler bearing went.s
Since most of the wood I cut is clean, full chisel is what most of my saws run. I do have one with a 17" hard nose bar & semi-chisel chain for...
I also cut limb wood down to 2 to 1.5" depending on time. Only potential negative is the extra bark = ash. To me it is not a concern. However,...
