  1. "A small crown lift", that made me laugh. A crown lift and thinning out the deadwood is actually a very good suggestion. Most customers will be pleased with the result, and it will in many cases look better than a crown reduction.
  2. It could be phytopthora. If it looks like the bark has burned with red ooze comming out from underneath, it is most likely Inonotus obliquus.
  3. The correct practice is called crown reduction or simply reduction.
  4. You could always add air shocks if the uprated springs aren't up to the task, but when I'm looking at the picture of the springs, I believe that they are more than strong enough.
  5. With the 3 litre engine? It looks good
  6. That root system is way too small.
  7. Hey, Efco produces good products. Italien brand. You can't go wrong with the MT2600 if you've been offered a good deal on it. Efco has recently realesed new top handle models that looks very promising, namely the MTT2600 and MTT3600.
  8. I know of at least one brand that comes standard with trailer hitches on the pto chippers. GL&D SRL (Italy) Galaxi m 225 DT (Ø.22,5 cm capacity). http://www.woods-chipper.com/Prodotti/galaxi m225dt.htm
  9. About 2000-2500 kg depending on the size of the chip box If the chip box measures 3m x 2,1m x 1m = 6,3 m3 x 350 kg = 2205 kg.
  10. CE stands for China Export if you ask many Chinese manufacturers.
  11. Go with what Goaty suggested. With young trees it is important to retain a single leader until they reach a more mature age. Reduce the nearest competing brances down to a side shoot/brance. The dominant top shoot produces auxin a compound that slows the growth of competing shoots and brances, although auxin levels in species like maple is much lower than other species that tend to have a more excurrent shape.
  12. Add Iggesund Forest and Cannon to that list.
  13. A solid bar is prefered over a laminated bar for milling. A big nose sprocket is also an advantage (5-6 rivets).
  14. Any hollow braid rope can be used for both dynamic and static bracing systems as long as it is uv resistent, low stretch, abrassion resistent, easy to splice, sufficient contact area and the tensile strength needed for the job. One example of a rope that can be used: http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=56&item=16913 Here is a video that shows installation
  15. I assume this is the size of spikes that you are after: http://www.huztl.net/Stihl-024-MS240-026-MS260-029-MS290-039-MS390-MS310-036-MS360-038-MS380-MS381-MS261-MS270-MS271-MS280-MS311-MS341-MS361-MS362-Chainsaw-Bumper-Spike-Pro-Bigger-Type-Inner-p228973.html (Inner) http://www.huztl.net/Stihl-024-MS240-026-MS260-029-MS290-039-MS390-MS310-036-MS360-038-MS380-MS381-MS261-MS270-MS271-MS280-MS311-MS341-MS361-MS362-Chainsaw-Bumper-Spike-Pro-Bigger-Type-Outside-p228971.html (outer)
  16. 1965 Ford Thunderbird Landau. Triple black.
  17. I am aware of that, thank you for the concern.
  18. Congrats! That is a beast . I am currently waiting for my own beast, ms 660 with big bore kit
  19. I would have gone with the Husky, mainly because you have more options when it comes to bars. HVA 395 and 3120 xp has the same bar mount.
  20. Jonsered 2172 or husqvarna 372 8pin with 16" or 18", 3/8"
  21. I can recommend the Jonsered cs 2252 (alternatively Husky 545). Low vibrations, good ergonomics and very well balanced with a 13" or 15" bar.
  22. The hot starting issue with the 550 is in many cases related to operator error. When the saw is hot, the chocke needs to be pulled up and clicked down (actives high idle), pull until it starts.
  23. Yes, that is true, but it can also be used as a termination knot. Take a look here: [ame] [/ame]
  24. The outer sheath of a rope used for tree climbing should be made out of polyester and be Certified to CE EN 1891 like stated above. When it comes to knots, you can use a double figure 8, double fishermans knot or the anchor knot. @daltontrees , when using a rope without a spliced eye, then you can still use a cambium saver as long it is a sleeve style.
  25. The engine has been overhauled. It has the original block, but with a larger bore and carb. 87 mm cylinder liners and pistons. Zenith 28g carb. A standard fergie engine has 80mm or 85mm bore with a zenith 24g carb.
