Out with my TYM T474 and Tajfun AGV45A Forestry winch cleaning up downed trees from early 21 in the pasture. This thing is slick as snot.

Are you surprised?Sounds like you like your winch

If you have to use much pressure, it's probably time to replace your file. (One of the quickest ways to dull a file is back-dragging it. Make sure you lift it off the tooth when returning the file for the next stroke.)I cut some more logs into firewood length today. I own a Stihl MS261 and MS250. Yesterday I used the 261 and didn’t think it was cutting that great. I used the 250 this morning and immediately knew the 261 wasn’t sharp. The 250 was throwing nice big chips. I ran a tank through the 250 and went and sharpened the 261 and it was much better.
How much pressure do you use when sharpening? I sharpen after every tank of fuel and often don’t use a lot of pressure on the file if the chain isn’t that dull. I may need to use a little more sometimes.

Interesting question so I did an experiment. I put a file to a saw like I normally do and was cognizant of the amount of force I used. Then I took various weights of stuff and put them on a small scale. I used weight from 1 to 5 lb. So going back and forth from saw to weights so I'd get an idea of muscle memory, I came up with the file pressure able to move a 2 lb weight about a half inch on my work bench.I cut some more logs into firewood length today.

More importantly, that looks like a Challenger in the background pic but I don't recall a grill design with vertical slats.I feel I’m generally using the right amount of pressure. One thing I knew but haven’t been doing is back dragging the file across the tooth. I don’t use any pressure but I need to take the file out of the tooth and put it back in.

Road Runner perhaps but looks too short to be one?
