using a 880 up the tree

That is indeed a tall tree to create a change in atmospheric pressure.

That explains why I'm gasping for air at the top!

Rgularlarly have. Dipped out the top half of an ash last year at about 40'- had to do a dog tooth cut and the tree was over 3' at that hieight too hahaha. Great laugh.

I've done it, it's not really the weight of the power unit, but the bar, a big long bar is a pig to start the cut. As others have said once it's in the cut it's no different to any other saw.

I climb with a 3120 or 88 every couple months at least, once he woods bigger than 42inches in diameter, the 66 just takes to much time.

 

Now climbing with the 090 with a 5 foot bar, now that was less fun. i doubt I could do it now.

used fair bit mostly for crane work, saves work on moving round the stem. always clip it to your system as mentioned before, defo the go. i find if you lock your arm you can start the cut not bad, can move around abit at the start. easier to use smaller saw but takes more time.

 

i would never climb up with a 88, thats way you are chogging down or crane. make sure you leave it running, starting if a pain in the tree.

 

Key is good work positioning fellas
