    Ours came with a 72 link chain on an Iggesund Forest bar. Impossible to change without taking the bar and sprocket off. Changed to a 73 link chain and now it's a two minute job with plenty of scope on the adjuster. I have to agree with bilke_user regarding chain life, we easily get a day between sharps when cutting clean Birch. Oddly enough we have to sharpen more often when we're amongst Sitka.

    Geese are hands down the best!! 20 of the bastards and a massive testosterone flooded Gander and you ain't getting robbed! Just make sure your yard is fox and badger proof!

    My garden this morning. Now, if only I had a fairy I could decorate the tree! Any volunteers?

    Typical! First snow of the winter and orders for 15 cube of hardwood tonight! Not so much "just in time" as "just too late"!!

    Looking for someone to do first thinning of approx 20 acres of 17 year old Sitka. Cutting and extraction to roadside in 3 metre lengths. Central Aberdeenshire. PM me.

    If you do decide to get a six-way made rather than buying the Farmi one I'd strongly recommend having the cross knives made double sided, the same as the vertical one. I find that on the Farmi one, which has the side blades sharpened on the top only, they tend to curl over and need resharpening frequently when splitting knotty hardwood. This doesn't happen with the vertical knife. It doesn't only apply to the six way either, we get the same problem with the four way, which has the same one-sided sharpen on the cross blades.

    Here's one I made a couple of years ago. If I did it again I'd make the roof hinged in sections, it would make it much easier to fill.
