    fair price for 200t?

    My work is primarily removals, and I've never had an issue with 200Ts in 11 years of running them. Have had two go down. Just didn't take the time to fix whatever was wrong with them. Set them back as parts saws, and went to the barn and grabbed new ones to replace them.

    Mine last generally until they rupture from freezing and the ice cutting a hole in them. Last one’s lasted several years now. Been waterlogged at least three years. I’m procrastinating the tank, as I want to replace pump, tank and well house all together.

    How'd it go today?

    Finally got a small upgrade added to the Big Tex. Added a winch remote so I can dump from the truck. I’ll do the Load Trail later. It’ll take diodes since it’s power up/power down. Nice touch for less than $20! Checked it from inside the house, ~40 yards from the trailer. Worked like a charm.

    fair price for 200t?

    My oldest 200T on a 2010 model, and is still running the same carb it came with. I do NOT run non-ethanol in my saws. It has been a back-up saw all its life. I had three in a row that required a new carb after about three years of steady running.

    Break-in rope

    Take as many wraps as needed for the limb…tie it off…make the cut, leaving a short stub, and let run or snub/hold as needed. If there are several adjacent limbs, I’ll choose one as the stub/bollard and cut it first, then rig the others off of it, cutting them flush. Using a shorter rope means...

    Break-in rope

    I natural crotch and run most limb rigging myself, so I only need height of the tree generally. I did have a 100’ that I’d transition to once I got past 65’-70’. It finally got too worn and I haven’t cut another one yet. I had to rig quite a few limbs last week from 80’-90’ up. Wound up using my...
