    Echo dcs-2500t howto replace “harness ring”?

    Love the saw, but the harness ring attachment point broke and I got the new part and on one side there are two bolts but on the other it’s retained by plastic. It looks like you’re supposed to maybe pry on it but I’m afraid I’m going to break it. Has anyone done this replacement or does anyone...

    I have been using a secondary rope tied maybe a third of the way up the trunk when felling (pulling over) side leaning trees with questionable hingewood quality. Does anyone have a formula or guideline of the best placement of height and angle when you have a side lean on a tree or spar that...

    Triple ring eye/ loop sling: Update - Half Brummel?

    Hi, I’m pretty much a beginner with splicing, but I watched this video, and I’d like to make the prussik style sling this guy uses. He’s got the triple ring sling tight in a locked Brummel, but I can’t tell if the rest is an endless loop or one large eye. Also, I have no idea how to make it...

    I hate bucket trucks.

    they are loud- all day long they are expensive as hell they tend to encourage pruning of the outer extremes, denying the arborist the interior point of view they crush root zones! (in yard) they are loud (sorry, i didn't hear you the first time) they encourage skipping the cut if the bucket...

    wtb - old style Snapcut pole saw heads

    It's getting hard to find these- right now you can only buy them with a 16 inch blade attached. If anyone has some of these stashed away they'd be willing to sell, let me know. I can buy them new with the big blade for about $20 plus shipping, but I'd like to just buy the heads, and bolt...
