Hmmm. I have an old worn out bar and some old chains, and I just built a barn that I need to bury a wire to. I was going to rent a trencher, but now you got me thinking....................I've had a guy come in a loong time ago for new bar, chain, and sprocket after using it to cut a trench around his yard to bury a wire for his dog fence. his bar had a line painted on it 6" from the tip... that was his depth gauge mark. He shrugged his shoulders and said it was still 70% less than paying for someone to install for him.
make sure you use a rim drive so there is only $6 to spend to drive the next chain.Hmmm. I have an old worn out bar and some old chains, and I just built a barn that I need to bury a wire to. I was going to rent a trencher, but now you got me thinking....................

Prime example of why I don't loan my **** out. LolMe and a friend did something remotely like that with another friend's edger. Of course, the standard blade was not going to cut it through frozen ground, rocks, gravel, etc. And the shroud wasn't gonna hold up either. So, we did some mods on some mower blades, like 8-10 inch shorties form a 3-4 blade deck, and put em on the edger, and replaced the blade shroud with something made from a 5 gallon bucket lid. Must have been like 600-800 yards in length all told, ate up 3 mower blades, and generated a spectacular amount of sparks. Got the job done though.
The friend who owned the edger got it back with the frankenstein mods and some stories to tell his suburbanite neighbors, but eventually, he replaced the mods with the original blade, and a new blade shroud.
But then for the owner of the edger, this sort of thing was not "odd" his parents were GE engineers after all, he'd seen far crazier ****.
lol! He knew we were up to no good, but loaned it out anyway.Prime example of why I don't loan my **** out. Lol
