the jackel by your first comment I know you’ve not got your tickets :) You do Know he’s cutting without full throttle on purpose, this t540 sounds exactly like mine with the x-torq electronic carb. Sounds perfectly fine.
i like the Orange Steel BuckStrap....And the Life Line Double Safty Feature.....Ya see some of these idjets with a Peice of 3 Strand that has Chain Saw Cuts on it...For a BuckStrap...i been using the Old Klein Kevlar Pole LineMan Strap for Years...Mowed Many Palm Tree's...Get a few Saw Bite's on it and Trade it in for a New One....! Good Equipment Makes a Good Tree Worker.........:)
Rich's 65' Tree Bucket Service Ive never seen the Kevlar lineman strap, ill have to look into those. You will never catch me cutting off the ground without two life lines. I agree good equipment pays for itself.
WhyKnot I love it! I used a silky zubat before I tried out the Husqvarna and after trying it I went back and bought second one as a backup. It cuts the same as the silky but build quality and ergonomics are much better on the Husqvarna. The sheath is the only thing im not impressed with, im strapping it to my leg now which I like better than hanging it off my harness but its still no ideal.
Nice work! You scared me there in the beginning, I thought you where going to take the whole tree down with your Silky Saw. :) That Husky sounds like a tough little tree saw. I basically gave up with the slack tending CMI pulley, by the time you reach down to find the line and then milk the slack it's easier to just grab the blakes hitch and snatch the line thru. but that's me. Thanks for sharing the video, Stay Safe/
bcflysYa the husky sure does the job, I haven't started my stihl top handle in quite a while. Ive been using a pulley to tend slack for a few years now and just recently switched to a Petzl zig zag for all my DRT climbing. Ill make a review on it after Ive really got a feel for it.
Thanks! the only new piece of equipment in this video is the small pruning saw. My top handle saw is about a year old and the other two saws a little older, but I like to keep them clean. I've been climbing for a few years now.
+Terry Hale I really like it, I had a problem with it getting tangled up and in the way with the little string I was using so I have since put it on a small retractable cable which works great. I also now carry a small felling lever to hit the wedge in and tip over larger pieces on trunks like that which I like a lot.
+Joshua Andrews So far great. I have to let them warm up for a few seconds longer than my other saws. But they have been very reliable. Also I am at 400' elevation and I took them to cut some spruce in Utah and they ran no problem at 1500' elevation.
+Taylor Olsen Thanks i've had my eye on them for a while now. i have the stihl 201tc with m-tronic and its seems to perform very nicely, though i haven't put much use on it yet.
Its a CMI service line micro pulley. It tends the friction hitch really well, even after having put all your weight on it. But sometimes the spliced ends of the hitch tend to wander around the carabiner, a pulley that captivated the ends of the hitch in between the two sides of the pulley would have been a better choice.
well I can tell that you are not very experienced but you keep working at it you should always make a face cut in you limbs and when your lowing wood but you did good
Seriously consider working with a spliced eye for your termination onto that carabiner. Your big huge figure eight has actually been proved to prevent friction hitches from biting in situations like that.
Dstrukt2k2 Ive never had a problem with it interfering with my friction hitch, but I recently started using a Petzl Zig Zag, so now I know I really need to take your advice.
Definitely! And a splice is so easy to get done, eliminates the hazard completely. Zigzags are a lot of fun, I use the hitch climber pulley system still.
You look a little uncomfortable holding the tree while you cut and looking down at your spikes when you step up and tying in instead of just going up but other than that good job everyone has a different style just do what works for you and stay safe
where was your face cut i cant believe u pulled it off well i didnt watch the whole thing you got real lucky especially over a house at least you r ok keep safe and dont forget face cut
Another guy on RUclips who does tree felling one can watch him without thinking did he just threw his hand / arm down. Feeling a little unsafe here I am on the couch.
It was a skinny tree. My bull rope is 150' long and it was not long enough to lower any of the branches, except for the last one. for the others the groudie had to attach a second rope to get the branches to the ground.

+arborhead also, now I call bullshit. Guy sports new loopies, new tail blocks, new fliplines and adjuster, eyeneyes, static keen mantle rope, a hand saw straight outta the packaging, new biners, a spotless 540, spurs look like new hooks. ...common! no notches taking the tops out. dynamic loading. handsawing through a leaner waiting to get chaired. I don't buy it.
sorry for the late reply, Yes its a 550xp. Its my all time favorite saw. awesome power for the weight, and the the saw is very short making it incredibly easy to turn on its side for limbing or to make face cuts. Ive had it for over 3 years now.
And? Being scared isn't bad, the day you portray your not scared is the day you fall. At least he got past the 10 foot knee shaking spot. Don't portray intelligence until I see ISA next to your name.
Dude I don't know how you have the balls to use a chainsaw one handed, so unnecessary. Not being offensive at all but just not worth it. Especially when it looks like you're just in jeans! Two hands = all of your limbs!
Arborist saws are specifically designed to be safe while using it one handed because of the aquard positions they can get in. But I do agree it is safer with 2 hands.
I remember my first pine take down. Such good memories.
That Husky sounds sick, and by sick I mean bad, and by bad I mean, not good...
lol OK expert
please show us your videos expert
Gotta lot more than your sorry ass 54 seconds...
the jackel by your first comment I know you’ve not got your tickets :)
You do

You're an artist! Nice work!
How do you like the husqvarna handsaw? Any good?
WhyKnot I love it! I used a silky zubat before I tried out the Husqvarna and after trying it I went back and bought second one as a backup. It cuts the same as the silky but build quality and ergonomics are much better on the Husqvarna. The sheath is the only thing im not impressed with, im strapping it to my leg now which I like better than hanging it off my harness but its still no ideal.
Thanks. I will consider one for my next saw.
No apologies necessary for the low camera aim. Gave an opportunity to study your climbing setup.
nice work taylor.
No face cuts on bigger limbs and chain needs a good sharpening. Looks like a DIY job, not a professional one.

Great Job! Looks like some brand new equipment; been in business/done tree work long?

How do you like the mini wedge?
+Terry Hale I really like it, I had a problem with it getting tangled up and in the way with the little string I was using so I have since put it on a small retractable cable which works great. I also now carry a small felling lever to hit the wedge in and tip over larger pieces on trunks like that which I like a lot.
Thanks. I've been looking for a suitable lever.
how are your husky auto-tune saws holding up? i have been thinking about purchasing the 540xp top handle saw
+Joshua Andrews So far great. I have to let them warm up for a few seconds longer than my other saws. But they have been very reliable. Also I am at 400' elevation and I took them to cut some spruce in Utah and they ran no problem at 1500' elevation.
+Taylor Olsen Thanks i've had my eye on them for a while now. i have the stihl 201tc with m-tronic and its seems to perform very nicely, though i haven't put much use on it yet.
+Joshua Andrews Josh I bought a 562xp about six months ago. I'm running a 20" bar on it and it's a beast.
what type of pulley are you running with your friction hitch
Its a CMI service line micro pulley. It tends the friction hitch really well, even after having put all your weight on it. But sometimes the spliced ends of the hitch tend to wander around the carabiner, a pulley that captivated the ends of the hitch in between the two sides of the pulley would have been a better choice.
Great video-well done.
You couldn't pay me enough to do that work. NO!!! I would not, COULD not do that!!!! Deathly afraid of heights.
well I can tell that you are not very experienced but you keep working at it you should always make a face cut in you limbs and when your lowing wood but you did good

How the hell do you climb with your flip line that lose!!! Holy cow man
Damn awesome. Great video. Thanks
ida Willis Thanks!

all u clowns saying make a face cut lol why would he waste his time on doin that on such small pieces
Good Job man
is your groundie stood directly under the tree! looks like he is. Seriously dodgy move if so
where was your face cut i cant believe u pulled it off well i didnt watch the whole thing you got real lucky especially over a house at least you r ok keep safe and dont forget face cut
Another guy on RUclips who does tree felling one can watch him without thinking did he just threw his hand / arm down. Feeling a little unsafe here I am on the couch.
real not safe the way your cutting
100 feet really? its like 18 inches in diameter.

sorry, technical difficulties haha
First tree?
arborhead It was my first pine tree, but far from my first tree. I mostly get oaks and pecan in my area.
+ultimateguitarwizard listen man.. I was being serious, ultimatedickwizard. I wasn't trying to be offensive.

no notches taking the tops out. dynamic loading. handsawing through a leaner waiting to get chaired.
I don't buy it.
Is that a 550?

Both of those saws look pretty dull, need better sharpening hands..
holy shit dude make a notch on those cuts!
this guy is scared you can tell bye the way he spikes
And? Being scared isn't bad, the day you portray your not scared is the day you fall. At least he got past the 10 foot knee shaking spot. Don't portray intelligence until I see ISA next to your name.
so true, look scared, prob a rookie
Dude I don't know how you have the balls to use a chainsaw one handed, so unnecessary. Not being offensive at all but just not worth it. Especially when it looks like you're just in jeans!
Two hands = all of your limbs!
Arborist saws are specifically designed to be safe while using it one handed because of the aquard positions they can get in. But I do agree it is safer with 2 hands.
Well arborist saws are made to be compackt, not for singel hand use, it's only in few climbing positions that the saw is safe used in one hand.
Fh
