    Swedish Aspen limb tie up?

    I try to do that as much as I can as well. Sometimes it just causes too much of a gap if i prune out. Although one pruning cut a couple inches off the ground would be ideal 😂

    6 months! That is quite awhile. When I was logging, my partner and I would try to shoot for a perfect Day- no hang ups, no getting pinched, no getting dull, etc. Iirc, that was achieved maybe 10-20% of the time.:|:

    Have you ever had to replace any parts on yours? Mine is about 7-8 years old but has only been used a handful of times. I wondered if I need to at least inspect/lube the pump cup.
