    Stihl 200T - still worth it ?

    hmm makes sense. now I gotta decide the old 201t vs t540xp thing....I just bought 2 new chains for my old husky before it went down too. Can I use these chains on a brand new stihl 201t or husky t540xp? https://www.husqvarna.com/us/chains/x-cut-s93g/ 16" 56 DL 3/8" mini pitch .050 gauge...

    Stihl 200T - still worth it ?

    What do you all think? Is the 200t still worth buying at around 600 - 700$ for a rebuilt one? Or do you guys just go with buying the the brand new 201t or husky t540xp now for roughly the same price?

    using a 24 strand for both single and double technique

    awesome thanks all ! I'll most likely refresh the same vortex rope, although I sort of want try this true 13mm rope by edelrid. small diameter ropes and my hands do not agree ;) https://www.treestuff.com/edelrid-direction-up-13mm-climbing-rope/

    using a 24 strand for both single and double technique

    Hi all, Should I consider changing this up for any reason ? Buying a new rope and wanted suggestions. Currently I climb on a 200' samson vortex hot because I use the Haas +foot ascender technique for ascent and I like this rope due to the low stretch and thickness for primarily this reason...

    Hey all, Since my return to tree work I have been thinking nonstop about becoming a licensed crane operator. However, I wanted to ask you all for any advice, recommendations for training as well as any advice on just what the best overall path to take here is? I am located in Massachusetts and...

    346xp rebuild...

    soooo I ended up spending this week inside working on all my saws (and purchasing new ones...shh) as for the 346xp I decided to go for a rebuild. I have a new OEM top end kit arriving today :) wish me luck. I am hoping that replacing the ripped intake boot, new piston+cyl will fix this saw...

    346xp rebuild...

    It has the grey cover, here are the specs I found from when I purchased the saw. Pretty sure it was scuffed when I bought it. But now I would love to get it running. Anyone know of a local saw guy/porter around Boston ? -2010 346xp - Non limited coil - tabs trimmed - non carb muffler

    346xp rebuild...

    Ok this is an odd question/request but I have an old 346xp almost completely disassembled sitting in a box for about 6 years now. Is there anyone on here that knows a guru with these things who would be interested in helping me diagnose/rebuild the saw ? I am no mechanic whatsoever and do not...

    Spiking leaners, any advice?

    Makes sense to me what you are all saying. I have never tried anything quite like it myself but what intrigued me about it was 2 things: it does appear to keep you closer to the trunk and second as you work down you are tied in still around the spar as you go down. Perhaps a simpler way to...

    Spiking leaners, any advice?

    I will admit, all my experience and bravery goes out the window when it comes to this type of situation. I believe I have the experience and conditioning to accomplish spiking a large gnarly leaner but without another tree or good tie in point I pass these up almost 100 percent of the time. I'm...
