saw

got a new 361 with 25in hard nose. she is pretty

 

[SkwerI]

I'm hearing good things on the 361. Why the hard tip bar? Roller tips are quite durable these days and don't rob as much power.

 

[hugashe]

good price is all i can say.

 

[brendonv]

Nice saw. I ran mine all day today minus the felling cut on one tree. I absolutely love that saw.

 

[hugashe]

what type bar you go with? sorry i see now

 

[squisher]

Nice, I have two 361's and they are awesome saws.

 

[SkwerI]

I mentioned last week that I bought a new cant hook. Well, I called LogRite to ask them about my old, bent one. Let me tell you, Kevin and Tammy from LogRite are two of the kindest, nicest people you'd ever want to deal with. Kevin gave me a great price on a 'scratched' cant hook handle, I just removed the hook from the old one and put it on the new handle. I also bought a new set of skidding tongs so I can 'skid' logs with my boom winch.

Several of the arborist supply houses are selling LogRite tools now, or you can buy from them directly at www.logrite.com .

 

[Burnham]

Good deal, Brian.

 

[Frans]

Nice when vendors really take the extra effort Skwerl. Or.....they were terrified of you

 

[Mr. Sir]

Brian, I've heard that there is a difference between skidding tongs and lifting tongs and you should never lift with skidding tongs. Not sure what the difference is, but be careful.

 

[sotc]

the angle of the "spikes" is the difference. also i beleive lifting tongs have to be certified or some such

Had to buy a new climb line today, someone managed to cut it on a job I wasn't make a dollar on already.

150' Velocity Cool

I used to like buying shit, now I'm over it.

 

[squisher]

Well get over getting over it then and be happy for the new line.

One job to lose or not do well on is nothing to get upset about man.

 

[brendonv]

Oh, I'm not upset about the job, happy as pig in shit it's done. I have been putting it off for a while now...yesterday was a good day though...finished that, fixed a gutter, and dropped a spar a landscaper started to cut, wish I had the camera for the 2 cut he put in. $100 and 10 minutes I was out of there. I'm just trying to save $ now, so I didn't want to part.

At the trade show I bought a new Ecrin, Bfly, the "new" Art RG, 2 180' Zing it's, 2 throw bags, and a 200' piece of Lava with a tight eye, and 100' of beeline...

 

[gf beranek]

100 feet of Bee line, you're set for a while there, Carl.

 

[stehansen]

Got me a hank of 1/2" stable braid from Wesspur.

 

[lumberjack]

100 feet of Bee line, you're set for a while there, Carl.

I bought 100' back in 06 when it first came out (incidently I paid the same per foot now as I did back then.)

100' costs the same as 55', so I went ahead and got the 45' for free

 

[FJR]

I called Sherrill today to order a TreeMotion and it was out of stock. So now I am on the backorder list and they should have a shipment in on September 6th. I am looking forward to using it.

 

[sotc]

sounds like my spenders for the sequoia, sept 3rd

 

[stehansen]

I got my rope, used it for a couple of days.

Which rope guide did you get? Let's see some pics!

I have one of your throwbags from a couple years ago. I'm not giving it back, though!

 

[top hopper]

Pic of the new RG Carl?

 

[lumberjack]

Nice looking splice/whipping from Sherrill. I was sure glad, Octavious said Tachyon was a bitch to splice.
