    Echo 2511t bumper spikes

    Those look AWESOME!! Still have 'Lrg' 3-point dogs on my 2511t even though I don't (and fear) using them :p (Is that set from ebayer "CustomChainsawParts", by chance? Have gotten my 660's and 590 spikes and skid-plates from them, all have had OEM level quality cannot recommend them highly...

    How would you go about choosing an entirely new location to work as a climber?

    I like how you put it Re the gene pool / variety am going to do some googling on that, the trees where I'm from (MA) are far better (not interested in returning to MA though, and while FL lacks a winter the summers are just brutal especially if you're climbing w/o any shade which is a VERY...

    "New Member" description under username even on >3yrs accounts?

    Feel very silly posting this but thought it odd seeing myself still tagged as a 'new' member after a few years' participation, I know it's the most trivial thing to ask about but here I am being trivial :D

    How would you go about choosing an entirely new location to work as a climber?

    What things do/would you look for in locations (anywhere in the US) when trying to evaluate where you'd want to live as a climber/arborist? I've been climbing in central FL for several years now...cannot say I would recommend it, lol! I got sick of a few aspects of contract-climbing so I went...

    Chainsaw-hooks that "stay in-place"? Loved Edelrid, HATE my Evo...

    I've checked photo&video of the Evo today, in-hopes that this week perhaps I'll find it to be more useful than a large wire-gate 'biner which is basically all it is right now, I've tightened it using the top, middle & bottom 'grooves' on its spline and it always flops around, always more...

    Possible to make a 3' long loop (6' cordage) of 3/4" Polydyne?

    Thanks guys appreciate the replies, think I'm gonna pass on making loops as now there's 2 pieces (1/2" polydyne as well as the 3/4", was using my 355t for pruning type cuts lol) so just gonna make spliced-ends (maybe 1 end maybe both), using those generic steel thimbles, have found them soooo...

    [Climbers] Any reasons to hold-off (or reconsider) buying an Echo 2511T?

    Re my 355t, I am still very interested in hearing thoughts on what's better: - throw it on the bench, have it apart / port it / power it up, and - in that time - find a used ignition coil (or buy one for $70, if/when I have a "hot-ish 355t" except its coil :P ) Or, - "Part it out", I mean...

    [Climbers] Any reasons to hold-off (or reconsider) buying an Echo 2511T?

    Sorry, ADHD + passion = rambly sometimes, thankfully your post MORE THAN answered what I needed (just got one this afternoon, had to pay nearly $500 with tax, seems the entire lineup has jumped-price recently even the 590 was $40, IE 10% more expensive, than what I was charged like ~3-4mo ago!)...

    freezing point of canola oil

    I always forget how lucky I am in this context, being in FL, have not even considered a petrol-based bar oil for probably a year now, being in-tree breathing a mist of Oak dust & bar-oil, and subsequent cleaning & maintenance, even storage & transport, are so much nicer knowing it's simple...

    Possible to make a 3' long loop (6' cordage) of 3/4" Polydyne?

    LOL I forgot, may as well add the same Q but for: -1/2" polydyne, - ~5.15' long Yup, also nicked that one yesterday....was kinda over-doing it on the ropes, even used them to hold the fatter logs so I could make my under-cuts before placing the log on-ground :P solo rigging FTW lol!!

    Possible to make a 3' long loop (6' cordage) of 3/4" Polydyne?

    (to be clear, am not looking for "how to", am plenty comfortable w/ the doing, just hesitant because I can't get the bury-length I'd want for 3/4"....but I am getting that end-of-bury crossover where I can further bolster things, guess in my mind that if I nail that tails-crossover in the middle...

    Possible to make a 3' long loop (6' cordage) of 3/4" Polydyne?

    I guess I mean "Possible to actually make, and have at least 4/5ths spec ABS"? Just nipped one of my p.dyne slings yesterday and now it's too-short to use with the anchor on its end, but it does have a nice unmolested ~6.25' section (yes I've nipped other spots on this thing before, it's a...

    [Climbers] Any reasons to hold-off (or reconsider) buying an Echo 2511T?

    tl;dr -- IF you're a climber looking for a climbsaw, what reasons should give you pause from running to the Echo 2511t? ~~~~~~~~~~~ I loved my 25cc default/go-to climbsaw but it died recently, didn't replace it and was gonna do so w/ a 2511t but, loving my 355t (18") so much, I just began...

    Looking for the ideal rope.

    Too bad to hear that Re Scandere, had thought it was Yale's "bigger type of Mercury", obviously BiFrost is their 11mm, newer/marketing "answer" to Samson's amazing Mercury!! How, precisely, are you noting this 'elasticity/bounce'? I ask because I hear this complaint enough that, when swapping...

    (pics in-thread) Q's on how much $ you'd ask for removing this limb, also what # of pieces you'd take it in?

    I was a contract-climber but wanted to "go solo" so I didn't have to give so much of the total $$ to people who don't even want to work (ie just want to get more crews & income..) SO...tl;dr.... What would you guys have charged for removing, and disposing-of, this Oak limb over a vinyl fence...
