Good that will save you some frustration !! I only had the starter pull break under warenty the band lasted over a year.

Ha ha yes , it's worth keeping a spare!! I have only done one though...and there's a knack to refitting husky brake bands.. I think from memory its doing the end nearest the front of the saw first. ??

3-5mins full bore burried deep with the chain razor... This can be done any time you need to recalobrate the auto tune. Try not to let the saw run dry as the auto tune can calibrate being run lean in to its settings thos can make them a pig to restart after fueling and run a bit off untill its re calibrated itself, dont leave the saw ticking over for an amount of time either and also do not be tempted to run the saw dull or blunt this also seems to effect running.. Hence why I do not let others use my saw , they are a one person saw IMO.

Good job !!

Why the cuts .. Did you fell it with a 200t?

Sugoi is an aggressive saw I would choose the nanantanko over the zubat or gomatro all of which are great saws but the sugoi is for larger stuff the nanantanko a good inbetweener .. The larger the better on the ground!

Bahco are the ones !! A big old sugoi silky though is what I would rather have , although I'm tempted to buy another bahco!

Last time I saw him josh there was a couple of loose sheets of ply in the back:lol:

Never wear a watch , they have lasted about 5 minutes if I have ... I remember my grandad when he retired working for us chipping up and wearing a kinetic watch one of the first of there kind his dad had brought him as an officer in the war as a birthday gift ... He noticed it missing and I found it in bits after in the chip box like terminator still trying to work !! I felt so bad for him , worse was it was valued at 2k !!

Great pic mate.

Carbon geckos all the way, Never liked the bashlins myself... Kliens I can get onwith though.

Si gimme a shout when you want to tip I have a couple but about 5 miles out of Royston.

Big old sugoi .... Cuts faster than a 150 and 201 does not have 200 carb problems and is not a dirty noisey saw...

My hand ascenders are all right so gave my right pantin foot to me dad!

Don't any thing about the husky ... The stihl is ok but all seem to wear out the wiring for the on/off switch in time.

Nice job tommy, my only critasism is I would of cut the stumps on the stick flush before felling it , if on a garden job and you have no teleporter to lift it they can be very frustrating to work around preventing rolling the stick to finish cuts and moving timber and also cover them selfs in dirt when they burry them selfs on impact blunting your saws if you have to cut them. A lot easier to fell on a bed and good target practice.

Left or right foot pantin though, some thing to think about if you want to combine it with a hand ascender.

Mines still being sporadic about oiling cleaned it out many times...some times the chain will get tight stop working I leave it ticking over and rev it up and all of a suden it will start oiling ... Maybe too much !! its a great pruning saw but I would not dream of using it on any thing needed to chase cuts like felling... But it is only 23cc.. That's tiny !!

Tidey Stevie !

My land lady gave me this poem that one of her friends who recantly passed away wrote..Not really a fan of poetry but found it quite interesteing to see a poets view of us! The tree feller All at once there was a man in the tree. I'd misseed his quick ascent to fix the first pulley two houses high,thread the red lifeline. i discovered him in the branches,broad belted like a warrior dangling iron loops and clasps,coils of rope ,the thigh bands that would bear him if he fell. When he nonchanchalantly let go his chainsaw, let it swing down on its long strap, i felt the shock of its weight on my own body. He monkeys up a limb in a sudden gusts gripping the bark with spiked boots that leave scars, wraps rope in intricate thick knots then sighns to an earthbound mate to brace the pulley and back off. Gently,precisley,he cuts two calculated notches, and a roped branch swings miraculously round the trunk, some how not crashing him,and lands exactly where he planned in the minute garden. he smiles. A skilled man who loves his work is irrestistable. I go upstairs window to see better. Branch by leafy branch he works upwards moving thoughtfully from hold to hold,feeling with hands and feet (he wears no gloves like his friend below) pitching rope gently,deftly,over the next target, above all balancing. He never leans to far or stretches out, knows gravity is his foe. Could be a dancer. The saw moans in his work sprays sawdust on the wind like yellow smoke and steadily reduces that once broad,leaf thick,life rich,wind brush dome to two grey fingers in the sky. lashed like a hug to one of them he carefully carves through the wood above him pauses to test the air,the balance,his own stance then gives a push and sends a heavy log free falling'thonk'on to the echoing earth. Length by length he drops the drums of wood, while out of sight the harsh growl of the shredder reduces the tree's centuries to chips. at last only one barren trunk is left. he abseils down and sheds his ropes and shackles, leans into a last long cut that makes conclusion, and lays the carcase out. no walls ,no roses and no men were hurt. now I must learn a sudden wide sky,an absence overhead, a new print of the sun's light on my land.

Enjoyed that Shane!

For big butts 5 tonne minimum would be my choice , my 3 tonne farmi really struggles with larger bits or multiple chained sticks on rough stumpy terrain.

Nice pup! Does any body's else's Arb dog have a mental break down when you tip chip?? Mines been with me every day since a pup but always goes insane when we tip up!

Steve i would do now untill late summer not autumn , ill do it for you one sat morning and give you a crash course on pruning If you want.

Depends on time of year and species of pine !! This I think is why climbers need to of been a groundy for atleast a year before they are let loose in a tree , it really gives you an insight in to wood weights.
