what logs have you been chopping today!

Yes the processors really well made, had no breakdowns with the old one so hopefully this will be the same and they're cheaper than alot of other makes.

 

If you're cutting clean hardwood for 9inch I would expect 25-30cube out of chain and going up to 18 inch length would double that.

 

I wonder why they didnt go for a harvester spec chain and bar?

Sharpening every 30 cube must be a bit of a pain?

It's not a big issue, I usually have 5-10 chains and just swap them and sharpen a few when I get the chance. We did ask about harvester bars but they just asked why I would want to waste more wood and I suppose they have a point.

 

There's plenty of space in this model so you could probably run what you want with very little adapting.

Fair point on the waste, never looked at it that way.

Do any of you lads with processors that run chains use tungsten tipped chains? I really like the tungsten tipped blade on my 350.

Just getting through this pile at the moment. Mixture of Ash, beech and alder

With the small diameter cord, do you split that or sell it cut but still round? Would imagine if it was split would be too small to sell?

[ash_smith123]

Yea depending on the size it says in 10" long rounds! Most of it is perfect size for a split into 2. Doesn't look like it but there's a lot of 4 way stuff in it as well! Perfect for the Posch 350!

Not tried one but will speculate.

 

From my furniture making days TCT was very brittle in comparison with HSS or tool steel. To compensate for this the sharpening angles were coarser to support the tip. This left you with a blade that would hold a less sharp edge for a long long time. On a processor I imagine the kerf of your TCT circular saw blade is appreciably less than a chain on a processor so what it might lack in sharpness it can make up for in brute force. Also you could use a less sharp TCT chain but this would result in heavy bar ware which is not an issue with a circular saw blade.

 

Quite happy to change the chain on our processor once or twice a day as it gives me a break and doesn't take more than few minutes.
