Hi mark really good points to check out, thanks. Yeah I totally forgot to mention that the chain spins on idle and was doing so a few days before it totally clonked out. Is there a specific reason why that would happen or could it be multiple reasons?

Thanks for the advice everyone will take a look tomorrow at what you have all advised and see if I can get to the bottom of it

Hi. I'm having problems with my 201. The saw starts fine with the bar and chain off but as soon as I put it back on it seems to be playing up. If I get the started and put the chain brake on, the saw turns off. Also a fair bit of tension on the pull cord when bar and chain on. Cover , bar and chain defiantly on right. Saw seemed to be slowly cutting out before all this. Any advice? Video added for more info. Thanks PXL_20230822_110812019.TS.mp4

‘’The 16mm is easy to hand hold (especially good for tensioning/lifting light bits) and tolerates natural crotching andbranch/trunk friction well. ‘’ I don’t know what you mean when you say, “16mm shouldn’t take that much friction.” sorry I must have misread you there. I see now you’ve mentioned it being a three strand rope. thanks again.

Great info AHPP thanks. We used the stein RC 2000, Teufelberger Sirius 14mm, DMM 200kN Impact block pulley and a DMM Pinto Rig pulley for re-directs. The majority of my work was done with a re-direct as opposed to natural crotch rigging though I had assumed it would have caused a lot of rope friction without one. Now that you’ve mentioned a 16mm shouldn’t take that much friction, it’s good info to know.

Thanks John

Yeah good point about the crotch rigging. I think I will invest in a decent re-direct too. Thanks again, much appreciated

Brilliant great info thanks matt 👍

What you on about ill-experienced? I’m here asking questions to learn and your giving me an off topic response.

Hi all. looking to buy rigging kit as I’ve just recently got my ticket. I’m looking for a decent set up which can take medium/large loads and will last a while. So far I was thinking of getting: DMM 200kN Impact block pulley Gleistein HeavyGreen 16mm English braid multi-sling (16mm x 5m) Stein RC2000 capstan I’m a bit confused on the size of capstan sling. It’s working rigging rope is 16mm so would this be the same for the sling? Also will be buying a redirect, rigging carabiners and sling on top of that I just didn’t add it in. Thanks

Brilliant thank you
