Has anyone used Tallox chains? They have pretty good reviews on Amazon. I don't use the chainsaw that much, but it's getting a workout right now, as am I. Thinking about a new blade for now and maybe sharpening later. It seems that the cost of a 16" blade is about the same as professional sharpening (or even cheaper). Hand sharpening tools can be had for about as much as a new blade, but I'm sure would pay for themselves after a few sharpening sessions.
I really hated to see this huge white oak go, but it wasn't going to last much longer and the power company thought it was time. No, I did not cut that with my 16" blade. I'm not that good. But they pretty much left it there for me to clean up. Still it saved me several thousand bucks. The neighborhood will be warm next winter. It was the focal point of my street. The neighbors are sad that it is gone, too. As a matter of fact, the foreman on the crew that took it down stood there looking at it with me before they started and said he hated to take it down, too. You can see how big it was. 50" at the wide point where my feet are.
