I can bring mine when I come out next month. BTW, is your offer for use of the spare bedroom for a night still good? :)

Here's some very good basic info, Steve. If you can replace the diesel motor in your bucket truck then you can adjust the carb on your 200T. :) http://www.madsens1.com/saw%20carb%20tune.htm

So you asssume my saws are "old"? Why would you say that? In fact I bought 3 new saws last year bringing my total to an even dozen. I do have a few older saws up to 10-11 years old. Since I don't burn them up due to running them out of adjustment, they last a long time.

Being able to adjust the carb on your saw is a basic maintenance item that all operators should be able to do, just like sharpening the chain or blowing out the air filter. Refusing to adjust your own saws and forbidding employees from doing so as well is insanity. You can't take the saw to the...

You're overly sensitive there, Jeff. Read Roger's post again and then go look up the definition of 'ignorant'. Never mind, I'll do it for you. Yes, I think it's accurate. You did just say that you refused to adjust a carb (fiddle was the term you used) and fired an employee for doing the same...

Anyone unwilling or unable to properly adjust a carb will end up replacing a lot of saws unneccessarily. Glad it's your money, not mine. Your ignorance doesn't make everybody else wrong, though. I do agree with you that Butch is ruining his saw running it without a muffler.

Several years ago I worked with a groundman who was so stupid he literally did not know the difference between 1 gallon and one dollar. I asked him to put one gallon of gas in the can while I checked the oil in the truck, it was too complicated for him.

Why of course, Andrew. Everybody knows that, just make the new guy do it.

Yeah, buy them cheap Chinese knockoff crap saws. That will really make them be a lot more careful and take better care of your tools. :roll: The reason why most of us here work for ourselves is because of people like you running so many of the bigger companies.

In order to put it into perspective, about how many employees/ crews do you have? 5 saws per week for 2 crews/ 6 guys is unthinkable, but 5 saws per week for 600 guys/ 200 crews is not out of the question. If you're a mega corporation then look at what the other mega corporations are using. Most...

I was almost willing to continue reading your posts until you mentioned Tom Dunlap as if you were bragging because you knew the lying sack of crap. You've just made my ignore list. Goodbye. :roll:

If you have to buy 5 saws a week then the problem is not the saws. It is the unqualified idiots you hire for pennies off the side of the road. :roll: Time for you to go to Arboristsite and hang out with all the other wannabe idiots who don't know a frikkin thing about treework.

I hear you on getting turned off to a brand due to one bad experience. At one time Stihl was my favorite brand for medium to large saws. A horrid 9 month experience with the fixed jet carb on an 026 Pro ended that. From the day I got rid of that POS I have never owned another Stihl rear handled...

Or if you don't really know how to climb or use a climbing saw, then the benefits of the 200T would go unappreciated.

I stated my opinion on it in the previous sentence. ;)

The only backup for a 200T is another 200T. I own 3 that are one, three and five years old. My oldest one is starting to leak around the crank seals a little (I think). It tends to run a little lean after using it hard for 10-15 minutes. But it owes me nothing since it paid for itself the first...

200T for the real tree guys or the guys who want to use what the real tree guys use. Or if you think you're smarter than guys who have done it for a living for many years then get something else. Or if you think that two cheap saws are better than one good saw, then get something else. If you're...
