    266xp vs. 272xp

    So gramps finally threw in the towel and gave me his 266xp. He can't pull it anymore and I've been chomping to get that saw for 10yrs. In the mean time I procured a 272xp. I rebuilt the carb and put a commie piston in it. It have a 28" and 24" bar for it and last fall/summer it seemed to...

    International 4700 Dump...Good Buy or Not?

    I drove a 466 six wheel dump with a 6 speed hauling sand, gravel and mulch. Personally, I thought it was a slug. That truck might have done better with wood because it is lighter but with only a six speed it was mediocre at best. Ask if you can test haul a load of something and see how you...

    Winter Climbing

    Wiltyzzy has forced me to think and now I want to know why trees don't freeze. I agree with his statements that tree cannot regularly freeze or they would die. I would like a super-educated tree guru to interject with some science here. When or do, trees freeze?

    Winter Climbing

    Thanks guys. I wasn't sure. Whenever possible I use a safety rope but the rope also helps keep my weight off the skinny limbs. Looks like I have some activities for tomorrow.

    Winter Climbing

    I was thinking of doing some BIG oaks this winter and I was wondering if climbing frozen trees is a safe thing to do? Up here in New England it has been at or below freezing for the majority of the time the past few months so the lumber is definitely frozen. Has anyone ever had an issue...

    I got chipmunks and declaired war!!!!!

    What you need is a ringer. A good old fashion maine coon cat about 18 lbs and 30" of pure rodent hatred. Preferably a specimen with one eye, half an ear missing and a tail that looks like it's been through a chipper. Give it an eye patch if you can't find one missing an eye. Females are the...

    Husky 35 bar oil in the cylinder

    So i stripped it all down, cleaned it up and and made some minor gasket repairs. I gave the saw a run yesterday and the little thing is running like a charm. Carb is giving me some issues but I think it could use a rebuild anyway. Hopefully this is over. PS if anyone else has one of these...

    Husky 35 bar oil in the cylinder

    No I didn't mix up fluids when refilling tanks. It was a warm summer day and i had just adjusted the carb and cut an entire tanks worth. After I fueled/oiled up I couldn't get it started and it felt a little hard to pull. I had noticed some residue in and around the exhaust before use and...

    Welding helmets

    I have the northern autodarkening hood and it is fantastic. It works great. I even let one of the iron workers at work borrow it and they liked it more than the $350 miller they owned. The only thing I would do over is get the large view window model. Very pleased with mine and it's been...

    No rigging ever

    It's probably just my inexperience talking but doesn't it make more sense to cut and drop? I'm learning how to climb and cut myself and it seems the more lines you have up there the more stuff there is to get caught on and go wrong, never mind a sizable chunk of wood bouncing around you. I can...

    Starting up

    Brainstorming here...have you checked to ensure your glow plugs are working properly? Does the machine have a block heater to plug in at night or a couples hours before use? If not can you put one in (it's usually pretty easy, just pull out a block plug and put in a heater unit)? Another...

    Bucket trucks for dummies

    My experience is mostly with boom trucks (cranes) some times 2 outriggers means the boom will only rotate 90 degrees or so left or right of the centerline of the frame for a total of 180-200 degrees of rotation. 4 or even 5 outriggers generally implies full 360 degree rotation of the boom.

    t handle saws

    The echo website quotes that saw around $300. Where did you get your pricing from? If the prices are that way due to your geographical location or something like that why wouldn't you spend a couple bucks more for a stihl?:confused:
