Mike, I only jumped in because it sounded like you needed a ported 75cc saw to run semi chisel.

Glad you posted, as usual. 90% of my cutting is recently dropped wood, 90% of yours is dead Oak that throws sparks, that is why we have different preferences, and why we choose different chain most of the time. But as you see, there are times I go with what fits the situation.
I like Oak, and I cut a good deal of it, but I cut Maple and Ash just as much, and upstate a lot of Cherry. Also run into Locust now and then, but not as much as the others (but when you find it, it is usually in a stand and there is more of it).
In clean wood, the square file holds up just as well as RS, and it cuts a little faster.

Yes they are. Ive got onr like that a few years newer but essentially the same. 300cc that can pull like a 600. And they take a good beating.
We'll see how much of a beating they'll take when I get it running , the previous owner spent a tonne of dough on it , parked it for a year , now has a fuel issue .
I wasn't looking for a trail runner , just a small traktor

Dan, your photos show TWO ATV's - did you get both FREE?
The first one was free but the parts list was just too large to make it a runner so I started looking at the local ads for a complete runner , he was asking 1800$ with a pos trailer , I offered less than 1/2 and he keep the trailer but he had to deliver it to my shop , he settled for 800$
The nice thing about these old Suzuki's is that they have a high ,low and a super low range plus a front differential lock making it a true 4x4.
The first one is almost the same so it's now a spare parts department

While out of the house yesterday, I passed a tree company doing some work. I noticed they had stacked the wood- and quite a bit of it, along the driveway. So I stop and ask about it and the boss says take it all. I go,home and get my dump truck, pull right up to the wood and proceeded to fill it twice....that's 4 cords almost all oak in just under 2 hours! I tell them I sell wood and the boss asks for my number and says, you are my new firewood guy! What a great find.

If it aint broke, it aint mine!
I was able to go get an 8' trailer full today. It was storm damage layimg on the side of the road waiting to be picked up and hauled to a Dump. I did not even need to bring a chainsaw. It was all cut up to 4' lengths! It was mostly (what I call) Black Jack Oak. It is loaded with figure and color and hell on a chain.

That's why I added a backrack...after the Wife bounced a round off the back window...it didn't break, but no sense tempting it.I'd get some screen on that back window guard , I''ve not popped a back window yet but I know plenty that have LOL
I've started the process of mechanization for wood scrounging
I picked up a free atv that fits in the utv

Mike, I ordered two loops of sq ground chain today. Will give it a shot, but will mostly use it for racing...
Use it on any fresh cut wood and you wont want to use anything else! Enjoy.
What files did you get?

I didn't order any yet. What files are you using?
I'm using the PFERD Three Square files, they are almost like using a round file. It is the only one I have used, but I'm happy with it.
Even in clean wood, it is good to touch it up after about 2 tanks. Square is much better if you keep it sharp. Remember, you now have to go from the outside in, and keep the corner of the file in the corner of the chain. Your experienced at sharpening, you will pick it up quick.
