Hi, I would appreciate some advice please. I have been using running a Tajfun 480 processor on Eucalyptus for 2 months now with the OEM chain and bars. It seem to have excessive wear.
Chain is Oregon 3/8" as below. I am swopping 3 chains and 3 bars daily after dressing and sharpening. I am using a Timberline sharpener for the chains.
The Tajfun process up to 480mm diameter logs. Wood is processed green, but we are in peak summer with temperatures up to 40 degrees C. Fresh cut logs have 23% moisture, yes tested next day in lab, unheard of. Wood is tough and hard.
Can anyone recommend what is better option for this application? I try to keep teeth both sides of the chain at even length. It seems that bars wear more than chain.
