Rip 540xp

[tree MDS]

Lol. This is true.

Actually stopped at a pawn shop today (on my way by), but they were closed for the holiday. Was hoping maybe I'd find another 200. I honestly don't ever wanna have to run either a 540 or a 201. It's depressing enough getting older, let alone lose my 200's. Kinda like eating steak with plastic utensils. lol

Get over it! The 200 is history, the 201 can not compete against a 540xp,,,

They're both better suited as wheel chocks, IMO. Arguing that is like having a beauty pageant for ugly chicks,,,, who cares,, they're all dogs!! Lol

What would a break-away lanyard accomplished in this instance? Having the whole saw fall to the ground?

Better than ripped in half! Maybe

I prefer them, thats all.

True, better a whole saw than half a saw. Have you every had a break-away lanyard actually break? Never seen it happen.

l wonder what an echo would look like after the same fall.

 

[tree MDS]

Wait... I'm confused now, who's getting ripped in half, the climber or the saw? Regardless, I always thought those saw lanyard thingys were for beginners. Could never figure why any tree climber worth his salt would want such a thing?? If you can't hold onto your saw, you shouldn't be in the tree in the first place!!

I was reading the label in a shop and it said "Not for use on saws weighing more than 15lbs and user must not drop the saw" pretty pointless then

Had one pull half way through but it cut free at the last moment. That was on a 260 hanging off me, I was clearing small stuff with a hand saw and a limb caught it on its way down. Gave me a little jolt as well

When those lanyards first came out, we filled a 50 gallon drum with water and hung it using a lanyard. It didn't break.

Hey call me whatever I like my lanyard also which ring did the 540 have on? Mine came with 2 a metal and composite...

 

[pro94lt]

Also try clipping this echo...

I use an old school ladder hook for saw attachment. And I think the little lanyard things are gay. What's it to ya??

 

[sac-climber]

MDS,
I'm gonna send you one with lace and pink unicorns on it.

 

[tree MDS]

Hey, mic, not even broken in yet. I'll give you a good deal on this little animal right here!! Just a little dirty from sliding around in the saw box. $450 seems reasonable. I mean you would go with another (and this is a good deal), right??

So, in the picture, that bottom piece is the back with the ring on it? Poor design or freak accident? Do you see that happening again?
