My little bit of hard working gear.

Seens like a good kit, mang. I'm amazed you don't use a top handle! I guess that beefy handsaw will get thru the majority of cuts a guy makes. I also guess you don't do too many conifers?

 

[dandandatreeman]

Got to love the boobies!!!!!!!!!! A sorry I got derailed myself. When I was in Georgia we were removing pines 80% of the time. Here in Louisiana I have stepped up and trim more than I remove a tree. Also fertilize, Cable, Bark trace. I've "grown up" alot since I've been here.

I prefer my ms250 W/18" bar. More reach and I don't have to switch up saws when blocking down a tree. It weighs just a tad more than the 200t

Yea, lemme see you conduct a trim with it. A ms250 is a homeowners saw, not a pro. Check my avatar - that's a 200 with a 16'' bar tossing that top noooooo problemo.

You're wearing yourself out prematurely.

You're wearing yourself out prematurely.

It takes a mature for their years young person to understand that concept.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Orrrrrrr, just a lazy bastid that don't wanna swing a heavier saw!

Brian,

Thanks for posting the WCGT video...I have not seen it before. Did it just come out?

Jerry...fine job putting that together...fun to watch and a good compilation of what was done.

That was great footage seeing Shari and Paul ascend together...good stuff.

 

[NorthWoodsDiver]

That sounds great!!!!I'll be heading to Duluth Minnesota after income tax returns, and I fix my Dodge 2500 4x4 that has been down for the last year. Got to see some family and get some stuff. Wouldnt mind stopping on the way and doing stuff on the way there and on the way back.

I currently live in Duluth Minnesota, I'm not a working climber...

 

[MasterBlaster]

Don't be shy to put that in your profile.

 

[dandandatreeman]

I do fine with my saw. Really it is not as bad as you put it Butch. I do just fine. I go all day. The other thing that came into play was the price of the 200t. I bought the 250 and the 441 brand new at the same time. I guess I will add one when the time is right, but sad to say its not now. I am plenty enough a pro even if my 250 is not.

By the way. My Louisiana arborist number is AR 10- 1830.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Once you spring for a 200, you'll never go back.

 

[dandandatreeman]

I use one everyday I work for my "boss". Did today as a mater of fact.

 

[Bermy]

Ha, I work out of a van too! I have a shelf in the back just like yours, saws, cones, bars, underneath, rope and gear on top, pole saws and pruners on a rack up in the roof...mobile office on the front seat, and room for a few passengers.
200, 260, 361, zubat and felcos...let 'er go!

 

[dandandatreeman]

Thats what I'm talking about!!!! I have a Dodge 2500 4x4 with a cummings, but the injection pump went out. It is $1600 for just the pump. EEERRRRRR Bummer.

 

[TreeDimensional]

What yr Dodge? I had to R/R one in a 2001 it wasn't that much. You'd be wise to do the lift pump too!

 

[dandandatreeman]

Just changed that Lift Pump. I am going to pay that much because I had a bad experience with a on-line parts dealer, and I am going local this time.
Its a 2000 by the way.

 

[TreeDimensional]

My lift pump, injection pump and labor was 1600!

 

[dandandatreeman]

That cuts it! Where in Canada do I have to move again? LOL

 

[TreeDimensional]

Oh I almost forgot to mention they disposed of 110L of gas/diesel fuel mix too! I'm SO EMBARASSED!

 

[dandandatreeman]

oh my....at least you didnt blow up the engine.

 

[TreeDimensional]

The pump and the lift were no their way out! I don't recommend workin' dawn til dark at elevation for 5 days then drivin' home in the middle of the night! Thats my story and I'm stickin' to it!!!

 

[dandandatreeman]

I wish I could find the video of this guy putting gas in a brand new Chevy Duramax. It went boom. He looked all confused poor little fella.

 

[SkwerI]

Dan, is this the one?

You need a gauge for your low pressure system Dan, and theres no g in Cummins

 

[TreeDimensional]

On the older ones (cummins) the pump usually colapses the barrels before the gas gets to the injectors! I am bgonna BET you need a new lift pump Dan! this time put in the low pressure switch, saves you greif down the road (literally)!

When is Dodge gonna come out with a glider kit for the engines???

 

[sotc]

Yeah, guess I didn't clarify, low pressure system gets weak, kills high pressure pump
