It was a beautiful day here at Clinton Camp Farm in Central NY. I lit out this morning to cut wood with my Kubota 2150 and splitter, and chain saw, about 9:30. Blocked up a couple of small stacks of Dead & Dieing trees that I drug to piles along woods roads last winter. Over the past few years I have seen mannnny posts about sharpening saws and how to cut all the blocks and limbs at the same lenght. This my easy to use and durable length gage to maintain block length, within an inch. The plastic 3/8 PEX pipe is 18" long ( the length I need) and clamped on the handlebar with two tielocks and a peice of tape to keep it from sliding. The PEX has memory, so you can kink it or whatever and it will return to form. I normally block logs from L to R, but if going the other way simply place the bar against the cut edge and eyeball where the end of the tubing is. Fast and easy! As far as sharpening a saw chain, I rarely do it. The edge lasts a long time if you don't rin the tip in the dirt. When I do sharpen I eyeball it on site, without a file guide or even a handle on my file. (My Dad taught me well at an early age) I touched up this chain before I cut this maple log which was about 3" biger in diamiter than the length of my bar. All I had to do to block this log was to squeeze the triger and guide the saw with my left hand. Just let the weight of the saw cut down, no prying against the on the crowd teeth on the saw. The only time they are necessary is when felling a tree. Anyway here is my days acomplishment. Even took a few breaks with a barley pop, and watched the squirrels play in the leaves. Loren, the Acg.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
