Normally on the 42’s up to 50’s I’ll run semi skip depending on the power head I’m running and the 60’s up will be full skip.

These are roughly my square ground teeth look, out of the box chain don’t cut. Even a brand new chain I’ll sharpen to get what I consider a good fast cutting chain, also don’t forget to check the rakers on a new chain they’re normally pretty high.

I’ve also thought new chains weren’t that great.

My hat is off to Skeans and anyone that can sharpen better than factory

I would love to give that chain a try...whew, it looks good!

One of my biggest passions; wood cutting in our forrest and stocking it for the winter.
It's good excersize, and in the best case firewood heats you up three times; cutting, stacking, burning

The Mahindra I bought my better half is proving to be very capable for a smaller sized machine .

Neat little video. I really like that handle/log clamp on that saw ! Much better and safer than the way we ran them when I was a kid and just used our hand to hold the wood.

That's a nice set-up, Ernie-32. I've often wondered about making of buying something similar, but my tractor is often tied up running other implements as it is, and so many of the longer logs I use for firewood are larger than I want to pick up by hand.

I'm always interested to see what others have come up with to handle their firewood. I echo Gordon's comment about the handle/log clamp. That was a good idea.

By the way. Welcome to TractorByNet. Where are you from?

Maybe we’ll see what we can get worked out so that can happen.

Hi John, thanks for your reaction, I'm in the south of France now (Gers), but other vids on my channel are from the miditerranian side of France (Hérault) and before that center of France (Corrèze). Here life at the countryside is still the good life, a little bit like The Shire in LOTR People talk to eachother, take time to help, there calmness and quiet. Nights are like they are supposed to be: pitch black!
I bought myself a Hitashi 50U2 and a Husqvarna 372xp to handel the bigger trees cause oak is so incredibily heavy to manouvre and cut. But bit by bit the forrest clearings come back, deers are hopping through, wild boars scan the grounds, so lovely to see.
