    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    It’s challenging to have more than 1-2 people a fellow can count on- I would consider myself blessed in the 2-4 range. My opinion, A platform chip truck that can haul the mini Along with at least a 15” drum chipper is a good setup. Some sort of loader with a lift capacity of around 3k lbs is...

    Big saw purchase.

    I find it odd they don’t like the 7310. Ima Stihl head personally but other than felling saws I have been buying more ECHO products- Pole saws 355T PB8010 So far I think they are good value for the money. I would suggest putting a 28” bar on the Echo- $110 Oregon 283RNDD009 .063" Gauge...

    Climbers for Christ

    I believe it is because we are away from all the distractions of this fallen world & are more self-aware of just how small “I” really am in the grand scheme of things.

    Coming: No new gas saws in CA

    We used the dual 18v offerings during the 2017 Upstate New York Chainsaw GTG in Greenwich- this gtg was at the Dolmar dealer. These saws were the size of say a ~40cc limbing saw but had (2)- 18v batteries on the top of them. I was impressed with their plunge cutting abilities but felt they...
