    Echo top handle saw

    It's mine indeed. I love it, but don't use it on a daily base. It's my bad weather pruning saw for the rainy days when I can't use my husqy battery saw. The Echo is a little monster. I use mine with a Stihl 1.1 mm groove bar and Stihl chain. These are not as wide as the standard Echo/Oregon...

    Echo top handle saw

    This little Echo CS-2511TES has a 25 cc engine, weighs 2.3 kilograms and produces a whopping 1.1 kW. Just for comparison the Stihl MS150 weighs 2.6 kilograms and produces 1 kW. Wolter

    Bar oil/friendliness

    [emoji15] Guys, I'm amazed that after all these years there still are professional arborists here on this forum that use petroleum based chain lubricants in stead of canola oil. Every now and then this topic pops up. For all disbelievers hear this. I use canola oil for over 20 years now, summer...

    Echo top handle saw

    The saw you probably are referring to is the Echo CS355tes (US, same model different name in the rest of the world). That's probably the last Echo model you'll see with those tiny holes. After that Echo put the little CS2511tes on the market with better openings. Wolter

    Echo top handle saw

    What saw are you talking about Craig? On the 2511 both fill holes are very wide openings. Older Echo models have the really awkward tiny openings.

    Small clip of yesterday's crane job.

    Your right. The non locking hook is wrong. Our cranes don't have a ball. The cable isn't fixed but runs through 'a pulley'. In that setup we aren't able to secure our big ring. Sometimes we rent a crane that is in use in treework more often. On that hook we have an extra point where we can...

    Small clip of yesterday's crane job.

    Hello Royce, My company is even smaller. I don't have any employees. All my mates are self employed. We don't do crane jobs that often. Only a couple of times a year. I make a good living doing what we do but I'm not self employed to sheave off those minutes. We don't do our stuff billing by...

    Small clip of yesterday's crane job.

    I know. We talked about comms but still not convinced that forking out that kind of cash is the right thing to do. For the customer this was the most cost effective way to take that tree out of the small confined space. In and out took us 3,5 hours. Crane operator, Rick and me dismantling the...

    can hanging a clothesline harm a mature tree

    No harm done! Screwing an eye into the tree will not in any way shorten the lifespan of the tree. It's better to inflict one wound that the tree is perfectly capable of to incapsulate than choking a tree with a forgotten band around the trunk. I would advise a nice sturdy swing hook. Turn it...
