Are you able to send a photo of the Stijl bar and chain on the husqvarna top handle you are using.

Would be good to see how it fits on

Sure! 

While taking these photos, I see I also had to drill a new hole for the chain tension ?

(I never turn the bar, hence only one new hole for the oil and tension)

what sprocket does it use?

Its the original spur 7.

It comes with 12", but I use 14" 80% of the time. I use the same bar/chain on my MS201, thats why I use the Stihl bar. (And the Stihl chain cuts better) ?

Just had to make a new hole for the oil.

Nice.

notice the stihl bar.

is it the tiny chain like on stihl 150 ?

Yes, its the 3/8 1,1 mm, 14". Think this cuts better than Husqvarnas 1,1 mm that comes with the saw originally.

Enjoyed that, especially the cheeky few limbs boshed out perfectly judged to not hit the house.

Thanks! ?

Good job. This video again makes me think about buying a battery saw.

Thanks! I can highly recommend the husky T535i XP! This was the second job using the new T535i, I've been using the T536 since 2014. Same, same, but slightly different ?

Climbed this big lime tree last october. Battery, petrol and crane made my day

Nice vid mate, really enjoyed it.

You were unlucky with that gob smacking the roof at 3.40!

Yup, s*it happens ?

As you can see on the picture, small branches has broken several tiles over the last years, so the owner had a pile of new ones waiting ?

Had to do some heavy rigging on this one ?

Definately very honest - cos we forget our lil slip-ups   am thankful am in one piece , good demo on saw trousers ( to be fair the protection is for 'power-off ' cutting slips , yr not gonna determinedly keep sawing into yr leg )  K

Yeah, I know. But I had to try

It was a bit worrying (for your safety and financial well being) to see so many 'little' mistakes even over a fairly long time frame.  

 

What percentage, as a rough guestimate, would you say were afternoon as opposed to AM?  I'm of the view that my little errors are more prevalent around the 14:00 mark, I'll allow myself 1, if a second one occurs I draw stumps and come out of the tree - come back another day.   

Uh, have never thought about that actually. I mostly do small jobs (1 day) and often climb till lunch, and do groundswork after. But I'll keep it in mind, one error a day is enough, smart to quit then! 

Climb safe!

The bit at about 1 minute where you are trying to get the strop, or whatever it's called around the branch, through itself and on to the karabiner is brilliant. Your brain knows what to do but your hands can't understand it.

Exactly. Fingers wouldn't listen. Idiots!

I was waiting to see the 201 go sailing out of the tree.

Yep, luckily that didn't happen. I had been pruning that oak for over 40 minutes before i recognized the strap was not fastened

Love the batteryless saw!

 

You say you compiled these clips over a few years? You're doing incredibly well in my estimation. If you ever want to make a similar length fails video in a woodland setting come and spend half a day with me!

Well, I have a few more clips, they will be included in Part 2 :-)
I would have much more fails to pick from if the camera was always on....

Made this fail compilation from jobs during the past years. Nothing really serious, but may be fun to watch...

Nice work. Enjoyable video to watch as well. Thanks.
Just one question occurred to me. Do you carry a large number of krabs and tape slings on you for attaching the stuff to the speedline? Or was that some cheeky video editing with the ground crew sending attachments back up to you in between times?
Simon

Thanks!

I think I brought about 15 pairs of slings/biners in the tree that day, and had 2 left when I was done with the speedline

Here's a picture from another speedline job taken after a couple of branches.

Nice video.  Just curious as to why you left the larger lower branches til last and did not cut them off on your way up?

 

Thanks!

I had telephonelines  and unisolated powerlines close to the tree. The two lower branches were stretching over these and would get stuck in them if I just rigged them down. (And they where to low to use the speedline.) Also, branches from another large pine close by made it difficult to lower branches stright down.
I found the easiest way was to walk out on these limbs so that I could throw pieces down by hand. And to do this, I had to have my anchor point high up in the nearby pine. Therefore, I took these on my way down, when I was done using the speedline and still having the anchor point in place.

(Sorry for my English, it is much easier to explain this in Norwegian )

Yep was just interested as why you choose the back handle 201 over the 201t.....been a bit chat about kickback etc lately and wondered if it was a safety thing or comfort or what.

When limbing I always use my tophandle T536. Need and comfort before safety
