I live in scotland fella we dont do showers up here,It rains! The point i was making is,again people are focusing on the showerproof thing when i wasnt interested in the jacket as a waterproof.If you want an explanation as to what showerproof means email stein.
-
Agreed,but the theme in the vid is too show how to use different notches whilst in tree cutting.Now thats all good and proper but anyone who has aspirations to climb and use a chainsaw in tree would have knowledge of these techniques because theyve passed there basic felling tickets,so -to me-it seems like some people would take a saw up a tree and start cutting away without the proper training because they watched a youtube vid on the subject.just my opinion
-
Funny how some people are negative commenting on the kreiger work smok because its not waterproof.The smok is not advertised as waterproof,and this was never a factor when i was considering buying it.Now i have the smok i rate it as what it is-a cold day jacket that holds up well to the rigors of the job.
-
Good to watch,but i cant help thinking if you dont know this basic stuff you shouldnt be using a saw in a tree in the 1st place.Thanks for posting though Darrin
-
I read somewhere its because the 2 big brands are considered professional saws- therefore used more and are held to account for air pollution,but the smaller brands echo,dolmar etc are considered homeowners saws and therefor not open to the same scrutiny.

So your not a fan then,although i could get lots of binliners for 70 quid!

Welcome on board mate.As you probably know its a great place for learning and chatting to like minded folk
-
Yeah,if the engine unit is not powerful enough it might struggle with the bigger bars.Im not sure if you could get an upgrade for the power unit but some guys on here will be able to advise you.I run stihls myself and sometimes the upper size range bars struggle to pull through the wood.
-
I think minimum recomendation is 11.5 diameter rope,but im sure someone on these forums ran a zz on 11mm
-
One thing i ll add is you dont need a big guide bar for larger trees,the echo may struggle to pull on a 18 inch bar.

Welcome to the forum mate

You've kind of answered your own question really,the echo suits your needs most so go for that one.

Too each his own but not everyones got the money too afford cut and climb.

Beautiful,and very interesting. thanks david

Got the stein kreiger work smok couple of weeks ago,its great-warm,functional,comfy and shower(not water)proof. Id recommend it for 70quid.

Ooooh black pudding i fancy some of that.great pics mr fox,with a name like yours i hope you kept away from those hounds ha! -
Daltontrees design is marginally better but im still not sold on all the lines.Perhaps remove the red lines along the right and replace with some sort of arty minimalistic row of trees.just a suggestion-keep at it though its improving

Scantilly clad females with a chainsaw...im drooling!

Ive got the mediums,tried small size-fine around the waist but really tight on the thighs hence i graduated to the mediums.Good trousers but i find the belt loops at the front too far apart creating a saggy area above your crotch-perfect for catching woodchips when pole pruning.Mine r holding up well too
-
Ive done lots of conifers in my 3 years climbing,so imo its a must.Opinions vary though, just my 2 cents.
-
Spikes + a flipline are a must.keep it simple,basic and cheap if at all possible.good luck mate

Stihl-by a country mile-nuff said
