I'm the proud new owner of a vermeer 625. Yes, I wish I would've read some of the posts here first and got the Bandit 6x12 instead of the 6x6 but now I'm kind of stuck with it. I recently noticed that on the feed roller, a couple "cogs" (for lack of a better word) seemed to be shorter and sharper, I thought it was normal and would dig into the tree better than the rounded, longer cogs. Thinking about it later on though, I'm wondering if the cogs didn't break off leaving them shorter, am I right? It must make a heck of a racket when the broken cogs go through the blades! How much can I expect to pay for a new feed roller for my 625? Is it very hard to install? I'm kind of handy at this stuff.
also, I went to that Zenith site looking for blades and saw about $43, is that each? (gulp) Can they be sharpened by me or is it best to send them out?
Thanks much guys for any help you're able to give me.
