    2004 Woodsman 2114 Chipper Thoughts

    My woodsman chipper has a tendency to clog up if you run too much light bushy material through it. It chips regular brush and big wood well.

    MS261 and MS462.

    I'll keep an eye out and let you know. It's getting a little too close to home.

    Am I the only one who prefers .043 over .050 on small saws?

    I use stihl .043 chain on my 200t top handle saws. I grind the safety bumpers off after a few times sharpening the chain.

    Weird problem. Chain tightens up then goes loose.

    A few of the bottoms of the drive links may have burrs on them. Happens to me sometimes when the chain pops off the bar.

    hemlock

    I used it for board and batton siding. The carpenter bees don't bore into it, but they search out the white pine.

    Yale Double Esterlon reviews

    We use the 3/4 inch samson stable braid for the really big wood and it handles well as well.

    Yale Double Esterlon reviews

    We use it(half inch) and like it for stuff heavier than for what we use the half inch three strand rope. It is great running through the block and port a wrap. Burns easy through a crotch. It's a little light feeling when trying to throw around a branch at least compared to the three strand.

    I'm super curious about this video.

    I like the guy smoking while refilling his buddies saw. Safety last when you ain't got no money.

    Bar oil...in the gas tank

    I have done this a few times. I think most cutters have at least once, so don't feel too bad. I think I always caught myself before I ran the saw. It might be worth dumping the gas again and trying again so you have closer to the right oil ratio. I would think it should clear up once all of the...

    Video: How to tune a chainsaw

    I know this is years late, but Thank You. Your video was the beginning for me to be able to be able to tune my saws and I have professionally used saws since I was a teenager. Your videos on muffler mods and timing advance have helped me completely change my saws. So again, Thanks.

    Rate my companies shaping job

    A lot of people think that a topped tree is thriving when the tree is trying to save itself and recover from having its food supply cut off. Topping generally leads to terrible structure and decay which presents problems years later. It is hard to convince customers to not top trees because they...

    Rate my companies shaping job

    As an arborist the rating is not good due to the fact that you topped the tree. You should get the booklet Best Management Practices: Tree Pruning by Edward F. Gilman and Sharon J. Lilly. It will give you some basic guidelines on good pruning basics.

    Only hazardous removals during Coronavirus?

    I think the most exposure I will have will be stopping for fuel. Other than that exposure should be relatively low since we will be outside working.

    Only hazardous removals during Coronavirus?

    Ok, I will. I assume you mean hard wood only.

    Only hazardous removals during Coronavirus?

    I work in Lake Meade and East Berlin fairly regular. And I go to the chiropractor in East Berlin. I actually just got an email saying I qualify for the exemption.

    Only hazardous removals during Coronavirus?

    I have applied for the exemption from the PA cease work order. Who knows if it will go through or not. My wife talked to the state and the lady didn't really know for sure but said it would probably be OK to do emergency work.

    Oil cap came off, while cutting

    I've oiled my shirts, pants, chaps, boots and the ground. With my 660 it was usually completely forgetting to tighten the cap, with the flippy cap it is usually because the cap didn't seat right and came out. Didn't put the flippy gas cap on right and spilled gas on the crotch of my pants in the...
