I get deeper cuts and much faster cutting edge speed converting all my cordless 4-1/2 grinders to 6" guards either by buying the larger guard (DeWalt uses different inside "lumps" I guess to prevent production interchange, they grind right off with a die grinder!) or cutting the center out of any stray 6" guard then welding that to the removed center of the stock 4-1/2" guard. I keep the guards on for the big disks for obvious reasons (like having ten fingers) and it works a treat. I've cut truck axles (the axle, not just the housing) with the larger thin kerf 6" discs which last much longer and wear down to small disc size so ya can use them like the baby cutting discs later on if the size matters or ya need the small OD for close work. 6" cutting discs are nicer for long sheet metal cuts because they cut faster (edge speed) and take longer to wear out. Since cutting uses a light touch it hasn't hurt any of my grinders.

Wood chips or any plant matter turns into soil, very good soil, dirt and in this situation it's a win for the farmers as they didn't have to pay to get rid of it.. They surely didn't invest in all their machines to accomplish this task for fun, right? As to chain repairs versus replacing them I'd think it comes down this long the chains last when repaired versus you fixing them as close to new or usable as possible. Only the Farmer knows what's best. Lastly, you had a fairly easy job in which your paid well. Most farmers that Attempt to do their own repairs end up making everything Worse!!! I've witnessed that first hand. Never buy a fat ears old p u truck, trust me 😭 ❤️..

Grrrr...6 (or 7) tooth sprocket is common but utterly stupid design on these live bottom systems. Each sprocket tooth causes a 13.4% speed variation and when you have many tons of product being yanked by that chain, that constant speed cycling hammers the chain (especially the pins) and cross bars. Welding the cross bars solid to the chains is also really poor but common design. Those 2 chains are NEVER the same length due to uneven wear patterns so the chains end up fighting each other through the cross bars and usually break welds due to stress fatigue from that--so people make heavier welds to compensate and it tears other things up like the chain sidebars being torn off the chain pins. (9.9% speed variation with each tooth when using 7 tooth sprockets) Add that to people putting a new belt on without changing the old sprockets. Od sprockets will cause a new chain to wear quickly to match the old worn sprocket teeth so should be changed out whenever a new chain goes on. It's one of those "everybody does it this way" things that is terribly bad practice and design: A design where engineers who copycat these mistakes should get a kick in the ass with a steel-toed size 13 boot and maybe they'll eventually learn. If you ever get suckered into changing that white UHMW polyethylene sheet used for a low friction floor, it really should be black material in that climate. White is not UV resistant and its life can be shortened due to that.
