Gettn' ready to pull the trigger on a Farm Boss. Dealer can put on whatever chain(s) I want on the 18" bar. I will mostly be scrounging roadside utility logs, tree service dumps, and generally wood already down. Not a lot of felling...
I am somewhat of a newb, so the green chain seems to be a safe bet at first but I have also read that it really is not all that much "safer" if you pay close attention to where the end of the bar is.
Planning on getting a timberjack of some sort (probably a peavey w/stand) as I will be lifting unbucked logs up to cut them to 16" or so.
Anticipating cutting wood that may have been on the ground for a while. Lots of locust and oak here.. So, high density wood that is probably not real dry and most likely has dirt on it. Stock sprocket on the Farm Boss. Which chain will serve me best?
