whadja do today?

[jefflovstrom]

What'd you have to do to sweet talk that thing into running right? Maybe sit it down for tea and crumpets? Mine seems like an overpriced 335, (or 338, whatever the early ones were the last time) A little sleeker looking maybe, but the same flop. I could be wrong though. Time will tell.

Like Reg, I followed the instructions. When started, I let it idle for a couple of minutes for the auto tune,,then it rips. More power and torque.
Won't be getting any more 201's now.

Told you guys last year the 540 was **** ! I demoed one for 2 days and it was useless ! Pieces of **** ..... Jeff like em though !

 

[NYTREECLIMBER]

Thats amazing. Because I had my 201 modded within a month of owning it. And while it was vastly improved as a result, my stock 540 just smokes it right out of the box. What I did notice though is that I ran it exactly to the recommendations in the manual that very first time, while a buddy of mine did not. Mine seems to rev higher and more torquey as things have turned out. Maybe I got lucky. But it seems you are one of the very few and far between that rate the 201 for much more than eating $hit...let alone eat a 540 or 200, modded or not. Maybe you got lucky too.[/ just a quick vid I did comparing 3 saws

Is that where the crumpet sharing and tea comes in? Not seeing it yet. I spent $610 in the dead of winter on that saw though, so its not like like it was for lack of effort. We'll see. She goes back to the shop Monday.

I've had my 540 for 6 months now been using it all winter in temps cold as -30, and if you start it like your supposed to (guess like us Reg) it runs awesome! Love mine, and hands down would buy another when my other 200's die out!

It's not, I've probably been using my saw the longest out of anyone on here (6 months) aside from some Euro guys. Solid saw and very reliable. You guys on the east coast must of got some duds or aren't starting them the proper way at the beginning of the day!

Phone has been ringing steadily everyday. Sold 15k in work in the last 3 days on top of my already 2 week back log. Super stoked to be this busy this early in the year.

It's going to snow, again.

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

Not really into tea Paul, crumpets are good though. I dont know why you would harbour a new saw that isnt working. I would demand a new one from the dealer right away. He sold you faulty goods. I'll make a vid of mine running next week, you'll see the difference. 335, I dont think so.

Is a crumpet what we call an English Muffin? They are good.

And as a matter of fact I enjoy a hot cup of strong tea. I may use 2 or three little bags for one cup.

Sounds good ! One more for Old Time's sake?

Was out a couple days this, its a ***** though I knocked a few jobs off the list.

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

Oh yesh and:

Hell fellas, I used to run around with a pair of cheap Echos with which I could make any of use look bad.

I wasn't impressed with it .

I dropped my 385 outta the tree and almost hit Jared in the head with it . Now it's in parts waiting for parts

Nah....its like saying an apple is an orange. Muffin is a muffin. Crumpets are good with cheese, jam, honey or syrup: http://britishfood.about.com/od/eorecipes/r/Recipe-Traditional-English-Crumpets.htm

 

[mckeetree]

I actually sold a pretty decent job today. First thing to come in really worth a **** since just before the first of the year.

 

[sgreanbeans]

Woke up to 1" of snow. I was going to go out the lot and clean up my mess from winter, but I guess winter is still here. Went to do a drive by bid, as I go by, I see that the had already hired someone else to prune his oak. Nice remington pole saw dude...................

 

[treeclimber101]

I have a better feeling about this year then last !

I thought they were the same, but this explains it better: http://dduane.tumblr.com/post/62918069189/the-difference-between-crumpets-and-english-muffins
I like them both. Also good for making your own egg mcmuffins.

On a Arborist related note, I had a chance to Demo a 201 last week. Although it didn't seem to rev as high as my 200s, it did seem to have more torque. I know Devon is pleased with his 540 (hope to give his a try sometime) but honestly, unless it is a lot better, I'll probably go with the 201 when the time comes. I'm really pleased with my Stihl dealer. Really great service.

If you liked the 201 already, you will love it modified.
