    Revolution wheel vs green teeth

    Looking for a comparison between the revolution wheel vs a wheel with a full set of green teeth (20 teeth). Has anyone here had user experience with both? I switched to green teeth 900s about 15 years ago. They are great compared to those old shark teeth. Looking into a new machine so I am...

    Unless someone in the crew is highly allergic to poison ivy, I wouldn’t sweat it too much. I’d be most concerned about treating my clothing afterwards since household members can get it indirectly…and they might complain

    CMC fatality

    That is interesting. I was under the impression that for every foot an object falls, it gains a unit of its own weight plus one. So a 25 lb log should have a force of 50 lbs… 300 lbs doesn’t sound right to me but maybe I am misunderstanding something here

    CMC fatality

    I think so. CMC should be sending their clients brand new booms (re-engineered).

    CMC fatality

    CMC and all access point the blame on the operators. Obviously their booms are not engineered properly (under built). What pisses me off is that I met with the owner of all access years ago (Lenny). He claimed that the CMCs are the most “rugged” compared to the other manufacturers. In an add in...

    Biggest tree lie you’ve heard (or said?!)

    When the neighbors tree guy tells my client that her oak is dying and should come down. (This particular oak happens to be blocking the neighbor’s view of the ocean). Truth-The oak is not dying. Actually it’s in excellent condition. 15 year later it’s still in excellent condition!

    They sell a 1/8” file for the micro chains

    Tracked Lift 72' ... thoughts?

    I think that those little vibrating diesels cause the hydraulic fittings to come loose on a lot of lifts.

    Husqvarna X-Cut

    These chains suck bad. I purchased a few loops for my 18” and a few loops for my 24” saws. It’s all that my local dealer had in stock. They don’t cut right after very little use (no abuse). I have been using Oregon, Husqvarna and Stihl chains for almost 30 years and have never had such poor...

    ISO Echo 2511

    I don’t like the Stihl double raker “safety chain” either…it doesn’t cut right after a couple sharpenings. That’s good news about the Panther chain

    ISO Echo 2511

    It sucks. We tried the stock bar and chain for about a month. Switched over to the 1/4 pitch and haven’t looked back. Like night and day.
