Sprocket wear

[Mother Theresa]

It’s a solid Sugi bar, £65 I wish...  without other opinions the pictured sprocket will go back on until the chain is kaput.

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.

Depends how many stones, nails, washing lines, chicken wire, staples, fence rails you hit - I always imagine forestry to be cleaner.

I run semi chisel on my 261 because always hitting something in the tree, although to be fair chains on my 201 last ages.

So I'm a sinner and a cheapskate.

 

Most of my working life I used a 60cc saw with an eighteen inch bar and I would choose a lightweight bar and the sprocket bar sprocket would be the first thing to fail. I still have many part worn chains kept "just in case" after I replaced a bar and put a new chain on for it.

Always put your barrow near your muck and the best way to keep flies out of the kitchen is a barrowful of warm manure in the living room.
