So I have a part worn chain on it, probably a third of the way through its life so do I swap the sprocket with a new one (with the part-worn chain) or wait for the death of the chain and swap both. It's a 25" chain so not keen just to toss it.

I would just use the rim at least until the chain is finished.

 

Rim £8 probably last for 3 chains or more

 

25" chain £25

 

25" bar £65 should last for 10 chains in forestry probably a good deal less ringing up firewood.

 

Production tree felling gets through comparatively more chains than arb work because felling close to the ground is affected by soil contamination of the bark, worse on sand and negligibly on clay.
