    The blue one is the trailer I pulled it holds 7000 lbs but it's filled with roughly 1.5 cord right now. 2 cord is a lot of work driving through the Yankee springs area with all the hills. Because of that I like to go a little lighter on the truck. It's in post 31.

    I guess the trailer is larger than the photos make it look.
    I was guessing maybe 1/2 a cord in there.

    Your chains ride better than mine do! Mine are tossed in a bucket with tools like files, scrench , chaps etc or just laid in the truck bed. Looks like you use my approach, just swap chains and grind them later.

    Yup it's faster and I can make a chain last forever using the bench grinder. I only swapped once yesterday and the second chain is still mostly sharp.

    The trick is simply stopping when it starts to feel dull. If you push it then they end up needing to be sharpened a lot to get past the Knicks. I took three chains for the 034 super and brought home 1 un used and 2 for the 021 and brought back one un used. :thumbs: Makes me a happy fella! :drunk:
