Glad you found a system that works for you, although it seems more of a niche scenario more than the norm for most wood cutters. Toting around a slew of chains and extra bars doesn't sound enjoyable. I don't cut as much as I used to but when running 1-2 8 man crews I wouldn't have relished buying or making enough chains that everyone had 6 spares. Seems an expensive way to get out of using a file is all
I cut for myself, the amount I cut each load generally fetches between $250-$300 per load depending on who you purchase from locally ...it costs me $25 to cut and transport to my back yard.
I do this for personal use on my weekends off work.
I generally buy five more chains each fourth season and these cost me $120 for five Carlton 72 .058 3/8 delivered to my mailbox.
I also drive right up to the wood I cut.
It works for me.
PS...and if I can figure out an easier and cheaper way I shall give that a whirl too.
