Guess I better introduce myself

[Stihlproincky]

Hi all, I'm a tree climber/learning arborist
We're running a small tree service and a seemingly large firewood business where we processed near 70 cords of wood last year. I'm a stihl fan as you probably guessed by my title.
Still learning on how to fix my saws and ones for the neighbors, this is my biggest reason for joining AS. This is the first place I go for information regarding anything in the business.
Be safe and God bless to all my brothers and sisters out there.

Hi all, I'm a tree climber . . .

Rule #1 - Be nice to your groundman.

He's the one most likely to notch the tree while you're in it.

Haha, he's also my twin brother.

Well how do you know which one of you is up in the tree?

 

[Stihlproincky]

Ha, we're not identical, and he don't climb either.

 

[Groundman One]

Well, you're from Kentucky, that place which the Lord thy God did bless on the 8th day, so I will only say nice things from this point onward.

Nothing argues more than family!

 

[Stihlproincky]

Well how do you know which one of you is up in the tree?

If he did climb I'd notch the tree to see how fast he could climb down

Nothing is more true

True is I was born in north Carolina, but you can be nice anyway

OP what saws you running?

I've got a stihl 390, 310, 038 mag, 170, husky t435 and 395 brother runs a 290 and a 029. he and the boss like husky's, I like stihls because we have better dealer support. 500i and 201t are on my list but I have to pay for them

The husky's we bought new, stihl were used.

The 500i is nice. How about a delightful MS 200T?

 

[Stihlproincky]

The 500i is nice. How about a delightful MS 200T?

I've heard the 200t were the greatest.

 

[Stihlproincky]

Trouble is the budget, we just went to arborfest.

You keep talking like that and Brother Wolf will show up at your house with a truck load of saws and steaks.
