Why can't they sort out the problems & charge £35? Simples

I'm not having any issues with my PI. I'm curious to see if it's all ropes or construction dependant.
-
That does not look kind on the rope. Has anyone had issues with ropes other than Imoi & tachion?

Ty - it's too easy to hate & if thats all you can do you are weak & myopic. With those on the streets, have you ever considered how & why they ended there? Not a proactive choice for many I guarentee -
nice job

A pile of brash behind the barriers seems to help. The idiots will walk around barriers, duck under tape etc but the don't like lifting there feet to step over branches

Ash Barber chairs, been seeing a few recently?

If a tree is favoring to fall very strongly, why do you need a wedge? It's not going to sit-back or require any help getting it moving -

This looks nasty -

Keeping cutting, although reducing the chance of barbers chair, can leave you standing at the stump & exposed. Most of the time that is OK, BUT the rest of the time that can be dangerous at the least. I would rather not be there -
Nice job. Looked like fun with a big fell to finnish
-
If your not felling for timber & the tree is sound, then fell it where you want
-
Climbing SRT means the rope is static. If you start running access lines across branches etc your going to ruin them quickly

Clean & accurate

If you change the carb & muffler on a 341 to that of a 361 then you have a 361!!!

Carb & exhaust

Pegs where needed & non otherwise, and as for having to use a cambium saver to descent of your not professional - what a load of rubbish. Cut a notch or come down the back-side away from the small peg. All 3 options function equally, but the smashing of my cambium saver onto the black-top is my least favorite.

Sawpod Press Release - Announcing the new Throwpod
Pete Mctree replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
Looks interesting. If it works through crowns that easily, it would be a good addition to the tool kit -
I rigorously inspect AV mounts to the best of my ability. This includes paying attention to how our saws "feel". I look after 29 machines including blowers/pole saws ets I work wit the saws I fix, so I can gauge (often by comparison & a 2nd opinion) there condition & act when needed. The ones most frequently replaced are for the 200t's front handle, which, when replaced, I will replace the rear AV rubber at the same time. Hope this helps

In frenchish, so it will be a surprise when it happens

I'm not usually a fan of cutting through a hinge when topping. A thin one - yes, but a mistimed cut can send a top side wards, or even over backwards. Control is everything
-
WOW you got a 560 - bully for you . Why don't you run around, telling everyone like a 5 year old with a new trainset, whilst holding mummys hand. Oh hang on a minute, you are This is getting so tedious, (especially coming from members who have not even run the saw). Why not discuss someones choice as opposed to blitzing a thread - someone might need help, or information hence posting!!

Proper job

Tha's gonna catch a death of cold

Stihl UK do supply dual port mufflers - I have one. Ask a dealer to get you one. You only need to buy the front cover as you can cut out the internals yourself. There is quite a noticable power increase making it a worthwhile IMO as your saw will also run cooler as well You MUST richen up the carb however or you will kill the saw!!
