Chainsaw sharpeners

I got a 12 volt clamp-on-the-bar model.

My thinking was that wherever I am cutting wood, I might not have a 110 volt AC outlet handy, but I sure as heck will have a 12 volt battery nearby.

Here is the link..... but I don't remember it costing this much......

Chainsaw sharpeners

Now I remember...... I was running a 36 inch bar on the biggest saw Stihl makes.......... it took forever to sharpen that thing with a file.

I was trying real hard to keep pace with a tree service company that was taking down an ancient cottonwood.

I ended up with 15+ cords out of one tree.

Randy.... I may have mis-spoken. I have a MS 660, and I thought it was the largest one they made, but it may have just been the largest one the dealer had access to.

Yup, that was a BIG tree. That was fifteen full cords. I am burning the last of the wood this winter. The remaining stump is just about 100 inches across and five + feet tall. That's about a cord by itself.

I could not lift some of the 20 inch thick rounds with my FEL, so they were over 900 pounds. All I could manage was to use the FEL + forward motion to stand them up so I could section them with the saw.

I assume your saw is similar in size to mine, 16 pounds without the bar and chain.... at least it has the same sort of model number.

Yes, it was very wet wood. The saw sprayed me with water as I cut it.

Even with our hot summers and low humidity it took a couple of seasons, but it finally seasoned and burned well.

I posted some pics..... #6, #19 and #20
