    Which saddle and why

    It appears to be a really good saddle I’ve been checking the monkey beaver out but have never used any of the new tribe. No reason not to just never have but it might be worth my while to do so. I kinda like the double bridge on the tree motion, it’s sure an added safety feature.

They are the onyx, the spartan, or possibly the tree austria 3.2 I just can’t make my mind up the onyx looks a lot like the monkey beaver but not sure so I’m interested in your opinions and...

    How quick a job can go from fun to crap

    Wind vs climber

    Yea that could become a problem with the nieboring yard. I’ve seen limbs fly or float a good distance although out in the open it’s fun to see how close you can hit your target

    Wind vs climber

    Grinder vs file

    so me and my local stihl guy had a difference of opinion the other day. For him he likes to grind all the chains. Which I can understand done faster more you can do. But on a down side less sharpening. I took a chain that hit some imbedded rocks and hit it with a file and now it cuts like a...

    Dangerous tree

    So I was called out to look at a tree once I looked at the tree I decided on a price and the guy was shocked. I tried to explain the dangers of the tree and the danger of climbing it. I also told him to remove that tree it would best be done with a bucket. As there is not a good tie in from...

    New 362 port or not

    So I picked up a brand new 362 and was wondering if I’m going to achieve anything by porting it or should I just leave it be at stock. At times it will run a 25 inch bar. But for the biggest part it will be a 20 inch bar.
