I don't get it. Are you saying you would just "pinch them off" with the splitter, or you wouldn't waste your time on rounds that small.
Either way I make a lot of cuts on wood that size. I don't want to waste great wood, and I don't want to damage my splitters, that black locusts is very hard and it burns great.
Currently I am not burning any wood. In the past, I have often burn wood of that size, often not even splitting. I also have often used my splitter as a shear for the few limbs and other small stuff. Mostly just to keep from having to crank a saw. My splitter would already be running and splitting, it was just a matter of inserting the small rounds sideways to the wedge, shear it and toss it in the pile. My wedge is a knife wedge and very sharp, locust or not, it would shear that small wood pretty easy.
 
Beautiful out today!! My best friend asked for new areas to scrounge so I loaded up the skidoo and visited my wood lot! Cut a few blow downs with the 036 but the mission was to scout more firewood for us. I didn’t take any pictures of actual cutting but what the heck, I’ll add a couple anyway.

EDIT: I suppose I should add, the only important thing on the map for him would be the 3 colors and the writing in pen. For you folks, welcome to my wood lot and where we lived for 4+ years until recently.. I should've maybe included a better colored map, I didn't know I was going to post it here :)

I see references to Saw King, but can’t find it in a search. Anyone know where to look? Supposed to be able to help with bar conversions.
Rich is the guy you would need to talk to, that's who did August Hinkleys saws(the guy who's video you posted last night.
Rich is in Oregon, I watch his videos on YouTube.

All many guys do is mod the stihl bars to fit.

Here's a link to some pictures of my 2511 and a craftsman 2.0, probably similar to your saw.

I messaged August on YouTube, he referred me to The Chainsaw Guy, I found him on eBay. If it’s the right one.
