I think that using chain lube for street motorcycles, carefully, would be the way to go. That kind of lube is made to stick to chains moving at high speeds.

That's what he said. Also to take it off before lubing, otherwise it will throw lubricant all over the clutch, rendering it useless.

Motorcycle chain lube is exactly what I tried, except I did not take the chain off. Lubing the chain was the start of the loss of pulling power on my winch. I lived with it until my bearings started freezing up (which prevented the clutch from grabbing properly), then took it to forestry equipment repair guy down the road from me. He replaced bearings and bead-blasted the clutch.

When I spoke to one of the techs at Hud-Son, he offered two options for the chain:

1. Don't lube the chain at all, (it will wear faster, but replacing the chain is easier and much cheaper than replacing the clutch)
2. Remove the chain and use something like motorcycle chain lube which dries on, and wait for it to dry before replacing the chain.

Learned my lesson the hard way.

That's what they said in the video, also.

Are these a little better instructions for the hudson??

Who needs wedges anyways but it sure was a nice to do some cutting.

The manual reads as though it were translated from the original Croation into Swahili by a native Chinese speaker before finally being translated into English.

Sounds like the government got involved in that process, must have saved them hundreds of pennies while costing the end consumers thousands...

Still working on the big oak. 15° F today. Not bad. Lots of kindling. Toasty warm inside the cabin right now. Supposed to be -6 at sunrise tomorrow morning. Looking forward to it.

Do you know the btu? Looks like it would put out a tremendous amount of heat.
I assume you can cook on it?
