    are lighter tools beneficial to a long career?

    It's still 325 .63 I square file the chain though thinking about switching to 3/8 .50 just to have more chain selection but kinda wondering if it will noticeably effect performance.

    Rope cleaning.

    Did a nasty pine the other day and my climb line is not basically unusable even that parts that didn't go in a pitch pocket got dusted so bad I could barely get down it with my rope runner. What're you guys using to get sap off has anyone used krud kutter or know if it's rope safe? It's...

    Echo ground saws. 590 vs. 620P

    No oiling issues on my 362 been running out with a 28" for 9ish years no extra signs of wear or heat compared to my other saws/bars. I pulls a full skip much better than a full comp, I square file my chain as well so it'sa little faster/easier cutting than round ground chain.

    are lighter tools beneficial to a long career?

    Big fan of the 261 as well light, and handles a 20" bar fully buried in oak very well.

    Echo ground saws. 590 vs. 620P

    I run a 28" full skip on my 362 and it's only a 59cc saw it runs a 24" better but 28 is fine and it saves me having to pull a heavier saw up the tree. I do agree stihls are the better built saw by far though.

    RRP and lumpy rope

    Yea I haven't had any issues with mine the only time it was weird was when I had some htp that had a really loose cover, I milked it and no problems since.

    When a customer declines your quote...

    I had a regular at my buddies bar tell me "he had someone else with a sharper pencil do it" I think I quoted him at 2800 for a decent sized oak that had been heavily impacted by snow and had multiple leads that never lifter back up and were in striking range of his house and a probably 120ft...

    arborwear dogwood chap pants sale

    The protection blanket feels a lot fluffier to me not heavier, puffy. They have bigger vents but don't seem to actually vent as well, the zeros have that mesh type liner to help keep the air moving the inner fabric on the dogwoods feels really clingy and hot. Outside fabric on the dogwoods sends...

    Chipper Knife Sharpening?

    You could build a slide table/guide for a belt grinder probably get in around 2.5k with variable speed, could add a mister to keep things cool if desired, if you're using fresh ceramic belts you can do a pretty surprising amount of work without over heating a blade dry though even at 5000sfpm...
