    Best way to sharpen for your 200t

    b I'll have to check mine. Not running out to the shop right now. I go mostly by the chart that came with my grinder. Some still chains call for 30, some 25 on my chart. My particular chains call for 25 on that chart. That being said, it doesn't hurt to grind them at a steeper degree. The first...

    Best way to sharpen for your 200t

    I use semi chisel stihl chain and grind it at 25 degrees as well. My saw shop will not sell full chisel in that length because of the kickback potential with an arborist saw. I have two 200t's and use them exclusively in the air. I very rarely have to sharpen a chain. I only had to grind the...

    Had a close call

    OK so speaking of close calls... I am not sure Eddie and blakes know how close they came... There was some talk of getting together for jager bombs when we were all in Jersey but never materialized... I have not had a sip of Jager in 5 or 6 years. Partly because it hurts too bad to get over...

    Had a close call

    Jeff, there was a guy that posted on here a few years back about the same exact thing happening to him only he didn't go to the doctor right away and infection did set in. As i remember, they were concerned that he was going to have to have his leg amputated from the knee down. Don't know what...

    Thank you, driver, for getting me here (Too much, the Magic Bus) You'll be an inspector, have no fear (Too much, the Magic Bus) I don't want to cause no fuss (Too much, the Magic Bus) But can I buy your Magic Bus? (Too much, the Magic Bus) About a month ago I was taking down a multi-leader...

    Had a close call

    Not really beating myself up. Just trying to make conversation. Trying to do anything to get away from this crap on the news that my GF seems to want to watch 24/7... It's got me in a foul mood. Just ignore what I said. Apologies.

    CMI 5/8 block.

    That block is more than adequate for the weight you are talking about beast. I would almost guarantee that the 3/4 block you saw fail came unscrewed. I blocked these chunks with my 3/4 CMI. Probably 1000 to 1200 LBS. I am sure your 5/8's would handle half that size easily.

    Had a close call

    I see there is still no shortage of nut cases in the peanut gallery around here. Would be nice to have a reasonable conversation with other professional CLIMBERS from time to time. Ah well, looks like those days are over with around here.

    whadja do today?

    Yeah, I had to quit watching the news yesterday... Was making me heartsick. Couldn't stop thinking about those kids last night. I read through a lot of this thread that I had missed while I was on the road. I can always count on this thread for comic relief. It's either that or fight with the...

    Had a close call

    Had a close call a couple of weeks ago while removing a 30" Pin Oak with a good 30 degree lean over the house. I hate admitting to making mistakes and hate making them even more. That being said I figured I would post about this one hoping that maybe someone else can learn from it and not make...

    Gun Bullets inside trees

    Working in Atlanta when I was younger, we would occasionally find ball shot in some of the mature Oaks in the city. One of the owners that I worked for told me that the ball shot in the old oaks dated back to the civil war.

    whadja do today?

    You're a good dude Eddie. After meeting your little guy I can see why that would hit you so hard. I am back in OK after working in jersey for a little while. Was a rough trip. My motor blew in my truck my second day there. Was stranded for two weeks while I had a new one put in to the tune of...
