Get the Scandinavian forest axe. This is a great axe. 25” handle. 2.5 lbs. excellent general purpose axe. https://www.gransforsbruk.com/en/product/gransfors-scandinavian-forest-axe/ I also have the American felling axe, but it’s to big for anything but full swings when chopping or pounding wedges.

Turns out it’s an American Axe & Tool. No info on age though. Also scored an Evansville Tool Works 4lb’er

Recently came by a couple old axe heads at a garage sale (giveaway). One is a 4lb Evansville. Nice axe, minimal use. The other has no markings but is no doubt 40+ years old. Homeowner claimed he got them from his father in law when he and his wife got married. He’s 67 now. It’s a 4.5lb...

The best reason to pick up a skip sequence chain in that length is because it's easier to sharpen. Full comp in a 32" has, what, 34 cutters? Skip would be ~22-23 cutters with skip.

They're basically the same saw. But one has 8 more cc's. Why would the more powerful saw on the same platform be the pig?

I wish they'd get it all figured out because that's likely where my tax return is going...

It's looks hotter than a blast furnace and is goofy as all get out.

I may be wrong, but I think the best way to dyno a chainsaw would be electronically measuring with an induction generator. If that makes sense. That seems like it would be very accurate and then simply converting the Kw to HP. (746watts to 1 HP, as I recall) Just crank up the the current...

Echo 600p

Btw, I was out cutting with my 600 today and was reminded what a great saw it is. Had the 18" bar buried in ash and it was pouring the chips out like a blizzard. Great torque and throttle response on that thing, nice exhaust note as well.

I'm pretty sure both are inboard clutches. The cylinder was updated from the first gen 600 to the second gen. The 590 got the 1st gen 600 jug. The new 600 jug is the sane as the 620. The 620 upgrade is the mag clutch cover, new bigger spikes, and wrap handle option.

I don't do a ton of topping but what I have noticed is when I'm blocking down med-big wood. I don't always make both cuts from one position. And sometimes my position will be different for the same cut. I will even reposition halfway through a face cut on big wood (>18") I like to choke my...

I'm confused. I have a 355t and I run stihl ps3. I'm pretty sure the stock bar on the echo is in fact .050 LP.

+1 I bet it's just fine though.

Reg Coates doing and honest review of the 201 and the 540. I laughed pretty good. His sense of humor cracks me up.

I switched back to a hip VT and micro pulley from a petzl micro grab on my 1/2" flipline. I don't like cam flipline adjusters. You can't let out any slack under load. That's a deal breaker for me. Just stick with a prussik/vt and save the $

Lost my dad 2 years ago today. I feel ya buddy. Throwin one up for ya ;)

Polyester = good to go. Nylon = retire it.

That stuff is pricey as I recall. If it's strictly an SRT rope. I'd go 10 or 11mm kernmantle. The NE KM-II is good rope. Sterling HTP is also good but gets a little mushy in the larger diameters. PMI max wear sheath classic wears like steel cable and has been a staple for cavers for almost 30...
