Death of the silky..?

[Rich Rule]

My 150t has been Exhaust modded since I got the thing and the timing has been advanced recently by 6 degs.

 

As long as the chain is super sharp it will pull bar length (10") in softer woods like conny, willow, pop etc.

 

Now the timing has been advanced it is even better.

 

You can see the 150t in use during this little vid. This is before the timing advance.

Benny and couldyajust i certainly hear what you lads are sayin and am in agreement with your great posts...an opened up 150 sounds a superb tool and nice to hear that you still have a Silky as your sidearm...can't be beaten for those fine tuning cuts!

Sometimes when you're climbing to Anchor point a Silky is just the tool to remove the Pesky Frith and twiglets that hamper your way😎😎😎

[Rich Rule]

I use mine as an extension of my arm to retrieve hangers or ropes. For rope though I hold the back of the blade and use the handle

Good tip Rich,i do the same....i also favour a small silky for smaller cut and hold logs....

In answer to your query about the husky topper....if you are choosing between the 2 then the 150 will be the better choice, mainly because you can use it all weathers unlike the battery saws.

Case in point today,pruning an alder and every route i took involved bits jammimg in my harness or ear defenders,no chainsaw only the zubat but had the visor down most of the time i was in tree,had a near miss with a twig in the eye ball last year-i was lucky:001_smile:

Your arms are 6 foot each! Like you need and extension!

 

When I saw you climb at the c&c you barely left the stem to hit the targets

I'm tired just at the thought of using my silky on a piece that big! haha
