Just be careful when switch filters from one brand to another especially on hydraulic filters. The may fit the same filter head. But have a different micron rating. Had a few problems with a 1672 rayco from running the wrong micron rated hydraulic filter.
On co dominant stem trees I have used one rope tied to say both both leads with a running bowline. (One end tied to 1 lead one end tied to the other)then i would put a block in the belly of the rope attached pull line to block. Figured it would help to equalize the pull on both stems. Tried it...
Have not used one personally. My dealer wanted to get me into one over the tx1000 wide track. That i was going to trade in.
Some things I noticed. The boom seems to be build well. Also appeared to have a larger radiator. Which would be nice for those continuous flow attachments. Plastic hood...
Most drive sprocket bearings on stihl saws dont have a metal cage on the bearing. With heat and duty cycles the can become malformed, and need to be replaced.
Husqvarna and dolmar/makita use a metal cage.
Not that one is better then the other just saying.
If you have an inboard clutch take the e clip off so you can remove the clutch drum. Bearing usually stays on the crankshaft, but sometimes sticks in the drum.
On an outboard clutch you have to remove the clutch.
Some Husqvarna models had a hole drilled threw the crankshaft to allow the...
It is called a drive sprocket bearing or at least what Oregon calls it. It rides between the clutch drum and crankshaft.
I dont think the spray type lithium grease is going to last. Or recommended
When I grease the ones on my saws I pack them like a wheel bearing. Here is a pic of STIHL...

I would be interested in the Morgan block as well. Seems like a well thought out, yet simple design. That will be very handy to have especially for solo rigging applications. And if you are running a lean crew. You could continue to work the tree out while your ground man is hauling brush or wood.

Is there a torque spec on the bolts that attach the engine cage to the wraptor. There are 2 on the lower front of the engine and 2 on top toward the front right above the grease fitting.
I need to pull the cage to do some engine work. Mainly just a service spark plug, oil change, fuel...
A x rigging safebloc may be an option for you. It would give you the flexibility to put your rigging point any where. It would also help in giving a consistent amount of friction.
I really like and use quite often a small portawrap. In the canopy. I can control and lower from my position.
Some thing that really helped me in the beginning, is to make a plan of how you are going to do the tree.
Where am i going to tie in.
High central lead to help with rope angles to get out on to the tips of the limbs if need be.
Where am i going to set my main rigging point. You may have to...
I have bought 5 saws from robin over the past few years. Everything is as described and he is a good guy to deal with.
I dont know that it is worth much as a dont post much here/ i am not well known.
I would bet that it is the ignition module going bad. From my experiences on saws when the saw starts jump around on rpm its the ignition module. Thats assuming everything else is in order
