    036 problems

    I started noticing that in long cuts my 036 would stop four stroking. Sure enough it sounds good out of wood for 3 or 4 seconds then leans right out. I put a carb kit and fuel line in it. Then ran it to see if that took care of it, now it's doing the same thing but if you let it shut off its...

    Buying a 2001 Vermeer 1230A

    BIGTWIG I will be bringing a truck load of wood to test it with. And I completely agree on not rushing it, I used to get so excited about things that I would buy whatever I thought I needed and drain my bank account down to single digits(literally). Then later on I would have buyers remorse and...

    Buying a 2001 Vermeer 1230A

    Around here it seems like BC1000's with 1,500 to 2k hours go for 10k. So it's a little bigger, looks like a lot easier to work on and it has the bigger Perkins diesel.

    Buying a 2001 Vermeer 1230A

    Just bought a new truck 2005 dodge 3500, didn't think I'd be buying my first chipper so soon. But a privately owned small guest ranch is selling their 1230A with 1,015 hours on it, machine looks fabulous. All maintenance records are available. They are asking 10k, if I don't pick it up tomorrow...

    Unicender & Rope Wrench

    I haven't tried one, honestly the only reason I bought the rope wrench was because I bout the CE climb kit from tree stuff so I could run it srt if desired. The other day it worked great mostly due to my weight being pulled parallel with the rope. Today I was working on some elms and tried this...

    Unicender & Rope Wrench

    Where is the rope runner available? I think I looked a couple weeks(maybe month?) and didn't see them anywhere. Just saw a lot of talk about them and how the prototypes are loved.

    Unicender & Rope Wrench

    So I ordered in the CE climb kit from tree stuff which consists of the hitch climber and I got the 200' of tachyon option. So for that I bought rope wrench. Well everything else came in but the ce climb kit. I was going to use it for the steep slippery job, anchoring to another tree so I could...

    Stihl 880 mods

    Definitely will be 404, already had them set aside a told of full skip/ full chisel. But I was thinking a 9 pin rim for the smaller bar(28" or so) because I think the 880 oiler will be able to keep up with that kind of chain speed on smaller bars and the 880 seems like it should have enough...

    Stihl 880 mods

    I'd like to get a 28 or 32" bar for the 880, I have a couple logging style projects for mitigation and it would be nice to use it to buck anything over what a 20" bar on the 460. I think I'll get an 8 or 9 pin rim for the smaller bars to help with the low RPM/low chain speed problem. Anyone know...

    Stihl 880 mods

    No milling for this saw, I have an Alaskan mill but have never used it. Got it through a trade for taking some hangers out of a tree. But I don't plan on using this saw for much other than the large cottonwood and willows I run into here and there. In particular I have been stacking up jobs of...

    Stihl 880 mods

    I usually would have used the 395 as well but I was in my "logging truck", an '84 Chevy dually with an 8,000 lb PTO winch dragging pines out from some hazard falls by cabins that day. I built a saw holder on the headache rack so I can carry two regular saws and two top handles. So I had the...

    Stihl 880 mods

    I have had a 660 and hated it. I've ran a ported and milled 660 and although it would spank a stock saw I'll take a 390 or 395 any day of the week over a 660. So I ordered a 41 and 59" bar with the 880, and a 441 coil hopefully fixing the limited part. But this winter I plan to send one 90cc and...

    Stihl 880 mods

    So I ran into some huge cottonwoods that are going to be an ongoing project. One base I cut this week was well over 6' across. I ran a 36" bar on the 441 and had to dice it up a couple times... Anyway as I have a lot more of these to do around a high end property I ordered an 880, from my...

    New Climbing Boots?

    I have a set of Red Dawg's that provide good ankle support, but also pinch my ankle where it bends on the frontside. My father was a lineman for 23 years and keep steeling me to go with Whites. I feel the traditional climbing boots are unnecessary in today's rope climbing environment. I've...

    Facebook On the Job?

    I'm just 22 and it amazes me how many workers ask if they can bring headphones, how many will sit down while they've caught up the brush and get on their phone. It really takes a lot of patience for me to tell them they can be doing so many productive things like raking the last tree up that's...

    Extras with TreeStuff order

    Another five stars for tree stuff from me. Between nick and Luke being on the spot fast on getting back to me and answering any questions quickly and accurately or fixing anything THAT day or by 6 o clock the next morning, I can't say enough good things. Even the people they align themselves...

    What's the best type of payment you've ever received for climbing?

    We just acted as if he gave me the money and I bought the guns from them for that price.
