I have an HF sharpener, and it has always done a good job. With the cutting that I do, there is a good possibility of hitting something like embedded barbed wire that seriously dulls the chain. I find that it is more efficient for me to keep several sharp chains on hand when cutting, and if I hit metal, just replace it. If a guy is reasonably patient with the sharpener, you will not take overheat the teeth when cutting. I keep a grinding wheel dresser handy, and when the end of the wheel gets too rounded, it helps to square it with the dresser. Poor grinding wheel maintenance will lead to poor results with any sharpener. I have done the kind of cutting years ago where I could cut all day with the same chain, just filing it at lunchtime. One of the advantages that I believe I get from using a sharpener is that my cuts don't lead either direction. I know that some guys could file a chain five times and never have that problem, but I am not one of them.

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
