    Subbing out cleanup

    I bought a used boxer 320 from Dave @ top-notch 5 years ago (I think). Bought a bmg with it. Best move i ever made. Think all said it was 11k and they shipped it to me. Paid for itself in 2 months. For a 1 man operation it saved my back and all it ever asks for is grease and fuel

    throwing a large asah top over a maple

    Dan How far did that top travel? Was your notch made with 4 or 5 kerfs of the saw instead of a 2 cut notch? Seems to me the kerf cuts would make a taller hinge (more flex and hold) and not launch the top as well as a narrow narrow trad face cut? Maybe with the dead ash you needed it to hold...

    Ms 661 full wrap handle

    Yeah it's a bummer. Thought it would be awesome and I haven't really used it much at all. At the moment we are cutting some quality hardwood and stumps need to be low. It is a huge hindrance with the wrap catching in the snow etc to get that low stump. I think it works out west coast cos those...

    Ms 661 full wrap handle

    I have almost a brandy new one on. I don't Ike it. Mostly logging. It gets caught up in the snow can't fit in the machines and is heavy! I would like to trade handles with someone. Half wrap only. I will pay shipping on the whole transaction. I am using the saw everyday so I I need your half...

    Tapping Maples

    Get some 5/16 taps. Not the old school 7/16. Be conservative. Only do 2 taps. You may only want to do 1. A big silver could put out a couple gallons a day for 1 tap. Which is a lot if you don't know what you're going to do with it.... I always have worried about tapping yard tree and...

    Best chainsaw pants

    The steins are the only pants I have worn that have made it over a year and are still in great shape! I've tried sips, pfanners, husky, forestwear, and others. I destroy pants. Hands down the most rugged and the strongest crotch to boot. Very well made. Bit heavy, hot in the summer, but...

    Did you ever contract climb for somebody who is kind of a hack?

    I did a pile of work for the competition in my earlier days. Great guy. Just underexposed to industry standards. Kind of a hack. That was 5 or 6 years ago. Now he is running top notch equipment, makes good cuts, climbs srt etc. I am doing very little tree work these days, and have no...

    Gerasimek's Tree-mek

    I have been doing more logging than tree work. I work on a partially mechanized cut to length crew. We use forwarders and a cut to length processor. Did your design stem from the dangle head harvester design? It is very similar. It is really neat. What is your capacity of control with the head...

    Pacific helmet: Looking for compatible face shield

    I got the Pacific Helmet.It is great. But the peltor setup is a complete failure with the helmet. The earmuffs are fine, but the faceshield hits me in the chin... the angle of attatchment is botched! I have tried doing all sorts of terrible things to the screen to get it to set right, and it...

    Alternative to Alturnamats

    I really like the horse stall mats because they conform to the terrain you are working on. You can go over curbs etc with a bit of padding. The mini turns on a dime as well. Bit greasy when wet, but you just got to slow down a bit. And I love that we can just roll them up and put a strap...

    Alternative to Alturnamats

    horse stall mats. 4 ft wide, and you can roll up 20 feet and pick it up with the mini. Super heavy duty and very handy
