Thank you! I appreciate it, but I definitely don’t know enough to compile a work like that. I do really love ropes so maybe someday I’d compile a rope guide.
Do you need an adapter (besides the 1/4 pitch gear) for the Stihl bar to fit the Makita, or need to modify the oil hole? I have the 36v(18v X 2) XCU09 that cuts pretty well with the stock 3/8 pitch, but am considering converting to 1/4 pitch. Also, I am thinking about getting the XCU06 to have a lighter saw on hand, as the larger XCU09 is pretty heavy with two 5Ah batteries.
With my XCU06 I did not need an adapter, but you do need a very specific chain. Stihl sells 2 1/4” pitch chains for a 12” bar and you must use the 65 drive link chain instead of the 64. Otherwise yes all you need is the sprocket!
The part I was removing was very large relative to the tree and didn’t not have great work positioning options, so I opted to spike the part I was removing. I ascended on single rope to avoid damaging the part of the tree I was to leave and I spiked only the dead part.
That shouldn't over heat from that .brother .something ain't rite.with the saw .but I've only seen the 2 battery one..getting the makita dril for my grcs from arbsession soon.
It's the single battery that is getting hot on such a big cut (especially if it is getting close to being low), it "talks" to the saw and shuts it down to prevent battery damage.
❤ 16:42 and on is the B-Roll mood I think we can all get behind! Puts you in a perfect zen!
Heck yeah I love seeing your vids man
Cool vid, plenty of info. Got to say your Arb product knowledge is spooky .. ever thought of compiling an Arb enclopedia ? 👍

I run 14 inch on my echo 2511t same set up stihl polesaw bar and chain. 0.43 does full size removals daily.

If may ask?why are you spikeing a prune

Yea I figured
Was just communicating. Had asked you something on other video s but never heard back..thanks
Liked your spike idea the difference in size
