I wish USA or Prosafety would make a ful wrap for the 681 Solo /7900 series Dolmar .... I,ve had several USA bars and I prefer them to the Pro Safety bars because there is more room between my hand and the saw .... Enough so that the saw sits lower and is a schoosh easier for limbing ...But mainly just more room .... The Prs Safety are nice . I have a set on my 288 ..

Those are two sets of suspenders, one for my pants and one for my work belt; wedge pouch, radio, tape..

Did you use regular bacholer buttons on your belt,I like your idea but my belts seems to thick for the regular ones to work.

 

[Burvol]

I think they are regular, just the ones you'd buy if you had one missing on your jeans. I hammered the piss out of them though, maybe you'd have good results too.

Some seem to hold had to pound em like you said 3 of them seem to hold just have to go getsome more . Thanks mang

 

[slowp]

I think you need to be delicate to install them. I pounded on some and they bent and broke. So, I used more control and less power, and those held.

 

[Meadow Beaver]

I agree, it's a pain if your don't get them on perfectly straight they fall right off.

 

[Cedarkerf]

Never had problem on pants only on the web belt.

The thing about spenders is, you gotta tuck in ur shirt, AKA, you get trousers FULL of saw chips!

how do you guys get around this?

Getting chips in your trousers during summer time is like working in hell...

 

[Meadow Beaver]

I don't usually wear suspenders now, I like to keep the saw chips out of my arse crack.

 

[Burvol]

Those green pants I tried are awesome for that, no chips at all and it's like wearing silk PJs on the inside.

You need a very straight blow to get them on straight for sure. I'll have to check what brand I got, but they are stout.

I prefer the plastic ones with the ring shank nail !!!!!

Timber fallers wear button on suspenders ... Thats all there is to it ... The rest of what you wear is kinda up to you .... If I was lookin for a cutter and someone showed up w/o suspenders they probably wouldn,t be back the next day ..........You can,t get around in the brush with your pan,t down around your ass . the brush ain,t prison and so the punk look is definatly OUT !!!! sawdust down your your pants is just part of life ... I wear polyester t shirts in the summer and don,t get alot of sawdust down my t shirt ...............If you are going to wear a stupid hickory shirt , why not just get a funnel to dump sawdust down your shirt ....

Hey I know what the full wrap is for and I've got one. 3/4 wrap anyway. Ever since I got it I now run my half wrap saws like my 3/4, too.



Everytime I read this thread and see new posted pics, I think to myself, I was born in the wrong part of the country. Man that looks like fun. Great pics Burvol!

. Blitz ; I grew up in Maine ... And I,ve been over the date line .. Ya don,t get much more west of there ... The guys around here cutting , have never fell real timber and so are kind of Okie about how they do it !!! I bet you could drive from where you are to Washington or Oregon in a day and a half ... You could make it to Alaska in 2 days .. Drive to Prince Rupert and take the Alaska Marine Highway to Ketchikan .... I know and have worked with lots of Cheese Heads ..... No offense intended ....... We need a pic of your saw set up ..... :agree2:

I am married with four kids. Two are in school and another will be next year. I'm only 27, but I'm pretty tied down. My wife always says she would move anywhere with me, but we both have family here and I know she would miss them. I've actually been to Alaska and as far north as the Arctic circle. Kinda funny when you mentioned Tok a couple of weeks ago. I've been there and in the Yukon as well. You ever been to Chicken? Can't remember if thats in Alaska or the Yukon. I drove up there when I was younger. I've never been in Oregon or Washington, but I've been in most every other state out west. I know I've got to get some pics of my saws and some decent trees I've felled lately. I'll have to sneak the camera out of the house. My wife will kill me if she finds out I've got it in the woods with me. ha. ha.

Sssshhhhhhhh!!! You'll upset Slowp. She's been on a mission for years to get us to color coordinate our logging clothes. It hasn't been what you'd call a rousing success but she isn't giving up.

I wear em loose sawdust falls right thru and you get ventalation when you move just hang em from your suspenders.

And that way, they come off easy if you step in a bee nest. I think one guy must've washed his white boxers with something red, or do boxers come in pink? :greenchainsaw:
