Climbing with a heavy saw.

[bumble B]

Modified Stihl strimmer harness with just shoulder straps takes the weight of big saws. Or if your harness allows you to clip a sling on the back, over shoulders to the bridge it acts as a pair of comfy braces so stops harness hanging round your knees.

It depends on the job entail. I don't mind climbing with a 880 when chop and dropping a big single stem. But it comes down to what's good for the climber

If i'm lone working on a dismantle (i know i shouldn't be alone but....) and need both my top handle saw and a ground saw i simply tie both saws onto my climbing line but attached as far apart from one another as possible. I pull them up and tie off the ground saw tight to the main stem and under a lateral limb to protect it, i proceed with the dismantle and eventually collect the ground saw when it comes time to chog down.

silky and 660. job done.

Get the ground staff to send it up running ( chainbrake on of course), nothing worse than cold starting a big saw up a tree

 

trees, waves and cakes!!:-)

I take a loop from my hitch climber and send that down so the groundy can pull up the saw on a 2:1

Same as mistabenn. Works for me and gives the groundy something to do....

I had a Husky 390xp up the tree yesterday. There was no way i was going to climb up with it! Just get it warmed up on the floor and then sent up!
