Hey all, ACG's post about skidding logs got me thinking...
I have tried a few different methods of sharpening my saws over the years... Hand file - I struggled to get it real sharp...never quite got the technique right. Dremel - lacked consistency tooth to tooth. Cheap electric - got it nice and sharp but angles were never super accurate and I burned through chain faster than I should have...
Wife got me the Timberline sharpener for my birthday two years ago. I love it.
It is a hand powered, bar mount rotational file...easy to use...can do a chain in 15 minutes...does an excellent job of keeping the angle and profile of the tooth....gets them razor sharp and no chain removal...
During wood season, I keep two chains sharp for each saw, and that can get me through 3-4 half days of work.
I burn 15ish cord and think this sharpening system has been worth the price for me.
Didn't know if anyone else had seen it or used it?

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
