    Stihl Fuel & Oil (flippy) caps part number cross-reference

    I browsed the Stihl website and the interweb, but can't find what I seek. Do any of you have, or know where I might find a cross reference of Stihl fuel and oil flippy caps? I ask because I just received a pair of non-flippy caps to fit my MS441C. I ordered them via eBay, and they can be...

    Stihl recalls MS461 2/14/2017

    I was searching a different subject and came upon this RECALL NOTICE for the MS461. I don't have one, but I heard several Buzzers here mention using that saw. EDIT: The date was 2/23/2017 and not 2/14/2017.

    Stihl MS880 M-Tronic?

    I have seven Stihl saws MS150(2pc), MS201TC-M, MS261C(2pc), MS441C and an MS661C. With bar lengths ranging from 12" to 36", these have served me well. All have the M-Tronic fuel management system except for the two MS150s. I REALLY like M-Tronic and have not had a moment's trouble with any of...

    Redwood tree for only $100! What a bargain. http://norfolk.craigslist.org/mat/5866743156.html Here's the text copied from that Norfolk, VA CL ad: I have a very large Redwood Tree (purchased from a local nursery as a seedling years ago) that I want to sell on the stump for $100 cash or credit...

    Questions for Ropetek Wraptor owners

    I'm an older (58 y.o.) part-time hack and the idea of owning a bucket truck is way out of my league. Besides, most of the requests I get are in areas where a truck can't access. Hence, I recently bought a new Wraptor. It was somewhat convenient in that Ropetek is located only a 2-hour drive...

    Tree Shredder

    Efficient way to clear a site of small trees. Might still need to bulldoze the stumps, but maybe not if the site is being cleared for a utility.

    Am I the only one?

    Lately, this forum has logged me off every time I leave the website. Yes, I click the "keep me logged in" option every time, but to no avail. I am not having this issue with other online forums. Has anyone else been having this issue? Thanks in advance! <Ken>

    Stihl MS201TC with M-tronic

    After reading a couple reviews elsewhere, it seems the new MS201TC has corrected everything climbers disliked about the MS201T. I still dislike its weight compared to my MS150T saws, but a 16" bar would come in handy at times when bucking down a spar. The MS201TC may also cause prices to drop...

    Haas Device ... I think I'm doing something wrong

    I admit to being a gear junkie and have both a Rope Wrench and a Rope Runner. While I like both of those devices, it's the Haas device which is causing me some discomfort. The Petzl Croll in the Haas hits the inside of my thigh and causes it to bruise. Am I taking too large of a stride? I...

    RADS question

    I enjoy using RADS to ascend and descend via SRT. This is especially true when my ascent route is up against the tree ... allows me to use my "free" foot against the spar to assist a bit with upward movement ... plus, the "free" foot is also used to stabilize my lateral movement. (Not...
