    Stihl ms201t

    Are you sure you are looking at the right numbers on the side of the saw? There is no chance stock for stock they sound anywhere near the same, or have near the same power. After using the 201T for a while now. I do like it better than the 200T. I think it is better balanced, I like the...

    201t

    I have ran somewhere around 10-12 tanks through mine since I got it back from brad. No issues yet. While I feel it does have more power than the 200T now, I don't think it is a night and day difference. I do prefer the 201T over the 200T and that says a lot as far as I am concerned. I think it...

    Anything good to say about MS201T?

    Got mine back from Brad today. Night and day difference. Only made a few cuts to try it out, but I would say slightly stronger than my 200T's. Very impressed. Now if they only came from the factory like this...

    How many sub out their stumps?

    I guess the area your in changes a lot of things. Aside from this year where we just did not have time to do some stumps because of the mass amount of storm work. We almost never leave a stump behind. Every once in a while you get a stump behind some bushes, in the woods, or out of site that...

    How many sub out their stumps?

    We do all our own. I feel we get a lot of jobs because we can do everything. I can't stand seeing customers getting left with half a dump truck full of grindings from many of my competitors. I feel if your going to do the job, do the whole job. I have seen local guys contract a climber, then...

    Terex bucket recall

    Got the same recall notice on our highranger 60/70. We were told to stop use until it was inspected. This was 2-3 years back. They sent out a guy to check the unit.

    Anything good to say about MS201T?

    If mine comes back running as good as your videos, You could make a full time job out of modding 201T's alone.

    High flotation front tires?

    I can say my 52k lb tandem axle crane with floats on the front does much less damage to grass then my single axle 31k lb bucket truck with normal tires.

    Modding the new MS201T - The truth inside

    I also want to say that my saw is no where near what the saw in your first video is. The response from mine hot is like that one is cold. And I mean before you started to play with it. I am looking forward to see what you can do.

    Modding the new MS201T - The truth inside

    After talking to my guy again. He said he pulled the screen but didn't mod the muffler. Retuned it. And the gains were not worth voiding the warranty on the same. My 201t is sitting in the shop not being used as no one want to use it. I am not trying to dog the saw. I'm just upset with the saw...

    201t

    Not just me, my guys don't even want to use the saw now. Willing to box it up and send it to someone that has some good ideas for it. As long as there is some proof of you knowing what to do and the saw does not come back in a pile of parts. I would be as happy as can be for it to be comparable...

    201t

    Dealer I go through took a 201T. Modded the muffler, removed the limiters and retuned it. His opinion was it was a waste of time as there was no noticeable cut time difference. And still very laggy. I guess the lag is a lot more aggravating then the power itself. Instead of pulling the trigger...

    201t

    I have bought 3 new climbing saws each year for about the last 15 years. Picked up 2-440, and a 460 in the last six months. I'm not new to breaking in a saw. I am about 15 tanks into this 201T with very minimal improvements. First thing I did was remove the stock chain. Its been tuned. Maybe I...

    201t

    Please tell me someone has something in the works to get some more power out of this saw. I picked up one since there are not anymore 200T around me. Its a great, well balanced comfortable saw. It does not come even close to the power of a muffler mod 200T. Feels like a homeowner saw. It just...

    Disc vs drum chipper

    It goes both ways. It is much easier for my crew and more profitable in the end to drop and chip whole trees when we can. Then to spend the time to cut logs and branches. We also sell chips. We save saw logs but minimal firewood and very little soft wood.

    Disc vs drum chipper

    Maybe you should wake up and realize different tree services may do things different. If I had two people loading my chipper, I would never get any work done. There have been a few days where My 325hp 570 was down and I have to use the 180 hp 515. It is still a very nice 18" chipper(still faster...

    Disc vs drum chipper

    The infeed on my Conehead 570 is 32x22. Theres not too much that doesn't fit. The feed rollers are also closer to the drum than any other chipper I have owned. Which makes things jam up much less.

    Disc vs drum chipper

    I like disc chippers. Changing the knives is a harder task, but they will almost never get clogged up. I have (by accident) ran pond mud through a 14" bandit. It was the bottom tree in the pile and didn't notice it. Where the bandit 1890 would get clogged if it started to sprinkle out with a...

    skidsteer grapple

    While its a nice product. Its just not what I am looking for.

    skidsteer grapple

    Yes. That is what I currently have. It doesn't have a rotor, but with the right movements of the machine you can control the rotation exactly how you want. I have recently tried a few other grapples and they have done nothing but aggravate me. I will build a duplicate of mine before I buy whats...
