The Sugar Maple worked out real good, started my cut from the top then came from the bottom and both just dropped to the ground. I spent time filing my chains after I posted.

All you cuts look good, I just notice things like that because I watch cuts and saw dust tells alot. (chips on cross cut more dust in milling)
 
The bucking was going good then after 3 big rounds it was like cutting it with a butter knife (left the file in the garage) change chains and the same so the best chain I had with me was a 16 inch so I finish what I could then went after the ironwood.

Subject: Chain

Smokin I think one of my problems is with the cutters, they are getting small from sharpening. Stopping tonight and grab two new chains for the 20 inch bar, I'll put a picture up tonight unnder GEAR and you guys can tell me what kind of condition it's in.

Silver maple is very different than sugar maple. My brother taps silver maple for syrup in a suburban neighborhood.

Sugar is rock is hard maple.

This would be my understanding to...lol around here you have to ask a lot of questions you ever know....
