    Couldn't help it but I had to hang in our little Acer in the backyard. I turned the rope in the Hitchzag so the little lever is on the back. This tends better. The rope is in one straight line and feeds much better in both directions.

    I will try mine on monday. Like the way it's reversible. No guarantees no liability!!! Used a Dremel to flex out the axles. Hammered out the last pieces. Needed One bolt Inbus 5 mm wide and the first 3 cm unthreaded. Two bronze washers. One regular nut. File small tips of the nut tips so it fits inside the HC sideplate. One locking nut. Assembly Stick the bolt into the first HC sideplate. The head of the Inbus bolt fits snug into the HC sideplate. Than a washer, the ZZ unit, the second washer and the last HC sideplate. Than you take the modified nut. Thread it on the bolt and tighten with an Inbus tool. To top it off you end with the locking nut. Climb safe and remember. The devise is modified by yourself! As are your self spliced hitches.

    I would, but I love to show off with the original.

    So true Sirnick2. I read here that the one is cheaper by the meter than the other....... WTF. Your life depends on it and as a climber on a daily base you have to replace it every what? Day? And you need what? 100 meters for a proper bridge? I am not a daily base climber and in all the years that I climb in the TreeMotion I replaced the leg to bridge straps, the waist to bridge straps, the leg paddings and the bridge twice. All original. In all those how much? Five years? Leave the beer and pot alone every now and then and you can afford the original version in gold or platinum. It's a 50 centimeter piece of rope every year FGS.

    Hà! What's in a name. Thanks Sherlock!

    Okay, so I have to import the saw myself just to check it out.

    No one? No sales rep here that can shed some light on this subject?

    Can anyone tell me what the reason is that Echo is depriving the Euro's from their new (2012) tophandle chainsaw? Chainsaws, Professional-Grade Chain Saws, Top Handle Chain Saws | ECHO USA

    Haha, my bad. See you at the Elmia Wood and I buy you a beer.

    This is definitively Chinese crap. IMHO this Hyundai is not the same manufacturer as the mega corp residing in Korea. Check out our Dutch forum. I stopped counting but we probably are way over the twenty 'brand' names for one single model of a Chinese rip off from a Japanese Zenoah chainsaw. http://www.treehugs.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4661 Sambal bij?

    Same here. Changing over from 100% chainsaw use to handsaw use in the tree those steel blades bit me way to often.
  13. Treespotter
    Is it a Zenoah 2500 aka Redmax in disguise?

    Lee, did you ever think of what would happen when that paracord is a tad too short? Maybe because it was tangled around some other gear on your belt. :eek:

    Just went to a local dealer in my home town to get me some new chains for the 536. Size not in stock. Apparently most Dutch Husqy dealers didn't get the 536LiXP either.
  16. Treespotter
    That's correct! Not that I am one of them. :-(

    You're cheating Kenny. We got ours from the pre production series. I think it went on sale in January. But sales where way better than expected so the factory was sold out before they knew it. It's crap that you payed for something that isn't available yet. But let me assure you, when you get it, you will love it. Keep up the good spirit.

    My point Geoff is that the cutting of a saw is the sum of many factors. Climbing and working without excessive noise is very easy to get used to. Picking my saw from my harness pulling the chainbrake back and starting the cut without me having to jerk off the saws starter cord too. Thinking straight at night is one of the other positives too. Those fumes coming out of a 536 are not that bad when you fill it with windmill powerrrrrrr. Tweaking the carb... Duh. ;-)
  19. Treespotter
    Geoff, you are changing "as well" into "as fast". IMHO those two are two completely different things. The 536 cuts way better than a 200t!!!
  20. Treespotter
    Just park your van under the trunk. That'll cushion the fall in case of a failure.

    I think it's about time we start stalking all our Echo dealers for the new 355t. The reviews are great in the US. This saw is in no way comparable with their old tophandle models. Check it out and start harassing your local Echo dealer about it. http://www.echo-usa.com/Products/Chain-Saws/CS-355T

    Three strand probably was used from the stone age until somewhere around the 1990. At our company we skipped the octoply because it was too hard on your elbows when pushing the prussic up the rope. Went straight from the three strand to the NE highVee blue. BTW, the orange black harness was a Barrow Hepburn.
  23. Treespotter
    I was going to ask you just to hold on there long enough to get my camera.
  24. Treespotter
    I don't think so. The 112 service knows where you are by measuring your signal between the telephone masts. When you own a Tomtom car navigation you should use that one too. When you press their emergency button you get the exact location or even the longitude and latitude numbers.

    Hé that's my set hanging there Rupe. Oh no, it isn't. my harness is orange with black (rubbed off leatherlook finish). Two steel stubai's and also two self spliced three strand prussic loops to complete the whole climbing gear set. Oh and of course the obligatory jar of Lacbalsam and the 020AV. No whoopies, loopies, slings, or pulleys. What bothered me most that was the tangling of the rope right below the prussic in a long descend.
