Truly. So much more professional to just walk away. Pound on them back at the shop, if you gotta.

They get away with it because many customers simply don't know better; they think that's just the way it has to be.

I managed to be quite successful at my goal today; I did precisely what I set out to do. Not a darn thing. :rock:

ric, you must be out where I was; Otis, Becket, etc.

Peace, olddirty. Moss, you make sure he still comes around the GTG's, eh? We need all the masssholes we can get.

Why would I buy one? I could have made a copy if I'd wanted one. :confused:

I noticed the same thing with mine; it didn't get really powerful until it was broken in a little. So far, mine seems to only get stronger with use. Don't forget to re-tune after breaking it in. I also agree the Echo's are tough suckers; I used a 3400 up until last spring, when it finally...

Don't get me wrong, it's great that there's people out there thinking, and trying to come up with new ideas. :cheers:

Fear not the EDIT button. :hmm3grin2orange: It sure is MY friend! I don't do much pruning; I do about 95% removals, on maples and oaks of differing varieties with a smattering of conifer just to keep the saws dirty. Same goal, though... get a line set as high up as practical, and near the middle.

Thanks for the explanation regarding the pricing confusion. Can't share any big secrets; I just do it the way you're supposed to. Most of the people who hang bags up are trying to pull them back through a crotch. I don't know why you'd want to do that; it makes way more sense to untie and pull...

I was trying to be polite, actually. Tried one that was making the rounds, thought it pretty much sucked, and didn't seem to solve any real problem. If anything, it hung up on a tight crotch more than my usual method. But as I said, given that at the show you couldn't seem to make up your...

It's a solution looking for a problem, IMHO. Nice to see the price has been settled, though.

I'm STILL loving my 2139, Rog. Haven't opened it up yet, though. I'm long since done with Stihl.

Welcome to the modern age, my friend. :cheers:

:hmm3grin2orange: I know I am. That's why I'm mechanized.

Well, we do it now with SRT, don't we? Set our ropes where they may be out of sight? Of course we yank on them to check them. :dizzy: That rope was set about 230 feet or so up, and there was a couple of guys already up there; if you look, you can see the tail of someone's climb line wiggling...

I had the opportunity last March to be one of the first people to fly on one, in North Carolina, And again at our TreeHouse GTG in California last June. Here's one of the vids from the GTG: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-xOXRKRCqU Not bad for a first-timer on a prototype unit. The production...

My philosophy is that I'm not doing tree work for exercise, I'm doing it for money. A device that'll help me make money by getting more done, faster, and with less effort... is worth the price.

No kidding.

Space....HAHAHA! In space no one can hear you scream... :hmm3grin2orange:
