The time has finally come
Joe Newton replied to Steve Bullman's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Don't listen to Captain 3 Strand over here. SRT is the future for big tree work. I'm free most Sundays, Saturdays are rarer, but certainly doable -
The time has finally come
Joe Newton replied to Steve Bullman's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
If you fancy giving it a try mate, all you gotta do is find a decent tree and drop me a line -
Looking at that beast, I'd say it depends how fast you can feed it!
-
I reckon if you were hoping to get a job on another continent, and had to ask that question, you might not be ready

Joe Newton replied to Steve Bullman's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Haha I'd feel the same I reckon. Some weeks I stay on the wrench, some not so much. Last couple of weeks have been small pissy jobs so the wrench has slowly moved to the bottom of the kit bag. -
Sure thing. Probably won't be til the APF though unless Skylands fancy setting up a stall at the Cutters.
-
Interesting about the sizing. I'm bordering between small and medium so I'll hold off until I can try one on I think.

Industry First - WEREWOLF Chainsaw Climbing Boot
Joe Newton replied to Stein Products's topic in General chat
You can drag brash, and furthermore, because they're a climbing boot, they allow you to use a top handle saw on the ground. -
Pics?
-
I hang the 150 from the side handle onto a large caritool with the gate removed. Can be a pain in a dense tree though.
-
Next time I'm down Tommy's way you can expect a boot full of saws. If I drop them off in the morning can you have them done by the afternoon?
-
Simple fact is it's not right. And your guy is facilitating this guy by doing it. Either this employer will find a mug who's happy to do it or he'll never keep good staff.
-
If the guys any good, why doesn't he look elsewhere? Doesn't sound like the kind of boss to work for.
-
If you ever come up with a solution to lanyards fouling on caritools, you could retire, buy a coke farm, and have all the young Puerto Rican boys you could handle. You'd die of a heart attack 3 days later mind.

Do you not have the plastic high clip point on your T540? The strop ring and the high clip ring are seperate
-
I get that it's naught and all that but it's so much quicker and easier.
-
I always use a topper for logging cordwood one handed. I've got my 38 though so it's allowed.
-
Rob mentioned 5 months but I don't know for sure. I bought mine from him. He's put a 150 B&C on it. To be honest it's worth speaking to him before buying. Very knowledgeable.
-
It doesn't. The Echo/Tsumara bar is 1/4" 0.050 guage whereas the Stihl is 1/4" 0.043 gauge. The Stihl 150 B&C is currently the only one of it's kind, though I hear SugiHara are on their way to releasing their own 0.043 B&C combo.
-
Lovely job mate
-
It's king for everything bar big dismantles. Thing is you'll use it more than you think. I don't use the 540 unless I'm getting the 461 sent up after.
-
The echo bar and chain are the .050 guage. Really that saw wants to run .043 as per the 150t. Rob is selling them with the 10" stihl bars.
-
You'll have to ask RobD who is boxing it up to ship to me. On paper it's 300grams lighter than the 150. I bought one with the stihl B&C on it so it's a level playing field. I'm not sure if they do an 8" sprocket nose bar. I use a 10" 150 at work though and I wouldn't want a much smaller bar than that.
-
I've just bought the echo. It'll be in spuds hands at some point to remove the cat and mod the exhaust.
-
I know Spud has ported the 150 for a guy on here. Apparently it's a good mod.
