    And I'll carry that beast slung over my shoulder too. The cadence of blocking out trunk wood, cut and chuck, is so streamlined, with engine continually running setting brake between movements, that this will change your life and movements with the tree. PS obviously I'm talking using smaller...

    First objection: Oh, that's not legal dude... I am a self employed sole proprietor so OSHA has no say in my work protocols... That's the same reason all the contract climbers in Germany got their start. Until the late 90's it was illegal for a German employee to use a chainsaw in a tree unless...

    ...with accuracy. ALL BUTTS FACING THE CHIPPER and advancing !!!!! (This is the one and only stipulation.) My premise is that if you carry your chainsaw on your ass you will never physically be able to handle limbs and wood, while cutting & chucking, with the ergonomic efficiency, speed...

    Brand new STIHL MS 200T

    No offense Mark (maybe a little) but you're sponsored by Stihl and now you're taking advantage of the biggest product downgrade that I've experienced in my career. I purchased my first 020 in 1977. The last three 200's, 201t's and whatever the f*** they're calling them have SUCKED!!!!! Used to...
