    Cool Vid Willie, I love the remote access bit, it kinda seems like you're a rock star getting shuttled in for an event.

    You guys should be selling wrap handles, I'm just about ready to run down to the saw shop.

    I've thought once or twice that a slightly larger dog on my climber would be nice, but I find I am often struggling for bar length on that one as it is. The teeth on the echo 355T are quite cute compared to the ones on my 461.

    Somehow I thought you'd agree with that ;)

    I had not thought of trying a pair of stockers. Several times I had the case hitting the tree and preventing the stock dogs from getting a bite so I went right to a pair of larger ones. A pair of stock size dogs would probably work pretty well MOST of the time, but those few times they didn't...

    That's why I'd prefer to find another 70cc+ saw. I'd love to double my saw quiver and have one for every occasion, but I'm just not there yet. I currently have 3, not exactly what one would consider a plethora. As far as the dogs, I've never had an issue with them grabbing in thin bark, but I...

    Well, when you put it that way. . . I'm leaning a little closer to throwing one on it and seeing how it works out. Have to get my insurance premiums paid first.

    Good one on the spare parts :) My only holdback on getting a full wrap for the 461 is stump cutting. That's my biggest saw, and usually the only one that will reach across the flare on a stump. When I stumble across another large saw (used and cheap) then I'll use that one for stumping and put...

    The second opinion was just level or off-level. But I see the point in self sufficiency as well as self-awareness. A question I forgot to answer from a few posts ago, yes I have the bigger dogs on both sides of the bar. They grab very effectively. Once I find a used, cheap saw bigger than my...

    Good points, Sean, I used to cut where I thought it was level, then laugh at how far off I was later. Now I cut a little, check it, ask for a second opinion, etc. I move down a smidge with each correction so all the trial and errors come out with the notch wedge. I have gotten better at it...

    I have a hell of a time getting my bar level, that's why I never video myself cutting a notch. It looks like a child scribbled on the tree until I get it right and cut the rest of notch out and fine tune it. Then it looks fantastic as I have cut out all the bad attempts. I have had some...

    From a less experienced standpoint, I like this technique as I can see when I've completed the notch, and more importantly I can see when to stop if my cuts are not matching up before I dig too deep to where the hinge should be. That was a very good instruction for it, definitely a teacher's...
