    How to break down seriously large oak wood?

    You would sell wood to them if they paid enough lol I would guess he is probably getting upwards of 300 a cord ... Maybe more. I have heard of people selling wood for 150 a tossed pickup load around the outskirts of Philly. I guess some people have more money then brains lol. Sent from my...

    Stihl 009L

    Well I offered $60. He said he wants to wait and see if he gets other offers. So I will wait and be on the lookout for other cheap top handles. I haven't put much time in on one and I'm not sure if I'll like it hence why I want to get a cheap one to test out for a while. Sent from my...

    Stihl 009L

    Oh hahaha yeah I was confused that you weren't very convincing. Am I wrong that a 10 or 12 inch bar would be a good compliment to my 465 with a 20inch? Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

    Stihl 009L

    There is only one small part that is orange so I'm guessing this would be a gray one. So I guess that this isn't a top handle that you would recommend as a trial one anyway. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

    Stihl 009L

    What is the opinion of it. I am a husky guy (not a debate I just am) but I would like to try a top handle saw to use for some future in tree use and also real small firewood cutting like 4 inch and less when I don't feel like using my big saw. I found one for a $100. I can't afford to pay much...

    Big climber help.

    Awesome... I'm sorry I am still learning alot of the terminology. I will check into those other hitch cords. As well as a foot assender. (There goes my Christmas money lol) What hitch knots do you guys work and what hitch cord length is your preference? I am using a distil hitch now. I would...

    Big climber help.

    Thanks I appreciate the input. I am an engineer working in that field and looking at this as a hobby. The main goal at this point is cutting a few branches that are about 2 in across with a hand saw. I have one tree that I may consider taking down completely but that is a ways off. I have been...

    Big climber help.

    I'm not sure I follow your spacer rope at the bridge.... I like the idea of a foot assender and have considered them. Can they be used with the loose tail of drt or do the only work on srt where the tail is tied off. (I think I have my terms correct) Gripping the rope im fine on (other than I...

    Big climber help.

    Is the ultra cord the best for heat resistance? Some times I come down and my hitch gets so hot I have to stop and let it cool so I can hold it. I have no particular love for the tenex. It is just the only thing I have used other than the original blake. I hated that. My weight loaded it so bad...

    Big climber help.

    looking for a new harness! Help please

    I like it. I prefer the leather. I guess I am old school. I have used some saddles that game me bruises after 10 min. But I don't climb very often and not in the tree very long. If I was all day everyday it may not be as nice Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

    Saw cuts on a slant to the left.

    16 inch chains are cheap....buy a couple and see if it cuts true. Keep the other ones and when you get better at sharpening you can bring them back. Besides for you hit a rock or a nail it is nicer to swap a chain than try to sharpen in the field. You can sharpen them all after dark when you get...

    Huge trees

    Jere39 is accurate about the charcoal cutting. it was as bad if not worse in central PA in Huntington county they say there was no tree standing within 10 miles of Greenwood Furnace. The forest service actually put a nursery in to try and rebuild the forest. Outside of Lewistown, PA there is...
