Forty years ago at our forestry school we had a poster on the wall.
On this poster was a chainsaw with a cut out. In this cut out you could see a gnome on a bike propelling the chainsaw chain. Next to the gnome was a pot with porridge. On the throttle handle was a stick that poked the gnome in...
I have a question about our most loved tool in the box.
After years of use two of my Rockets have puffed out. Luckily still not spilling their guts.
When ending up in a puddle they ooze out white milk.
I just ordered a couple new ones at SafetyGreen here in the Netherlands. :rock:
My question is...
Hé guys, I'm back.
I spent my Christmas holiday this year for a planned surgery from Doomsday 21 December till today in hospital.
Surgeons repaired on 12/21 the stage 4 defect on my Mitral heart valve.
Two days before I still was climbing trees.
The picture was taken seven hours after surgery...
Does anyone in the US already use the Rugby Pro?
Nice specs but not yet available in Europe.
The telephone that I use right now is the Samsung Galaxy Xcover. It has a 800MHz processor and 160MB internal storage that is used for most apps. That's where the limits are right now. I can't install...

Since my 201 issues I'm a bit reluctant to try this one.
I love the weight but I am a little...
Just got my 026 replacement in. I got myself a new Dolmar 5105 after some disappointing encounters with my last couple of Stihl's and nothing but good on the last year bought Dolmar 7900. To bad the weekend started. Now I have to wait another two days before I can play with it.

I was able to try this little gem yesterday.
It's still a prototype but probably very close to the production version.
Compared to my Dolmar 3625 this Husqvarna T536 LiXP is a light year leap forwards.
Is the Dolmar a rough saw that takes it's time to cut the wood with a chain speed of 8.3 m/s...

Did a little take-down job on an old dead horse chesnut tree. Nothing fancy and didn't use it long enough to really make a statement about the 201.
It's my second new saw in one week Last week I exchanged my 14 year...
Wouter AKA Treestyler found this one and placed it on our Dutch "Treehugs" arborist forum.
Will this one become the next saw to beat?
