    Good job Spencer. Nice even rounds on that main stem. Those would be great splitting if you were going to burn them. You’ll have to video that leaner. I took down a nice black birch this week. Beautiful smelling wood.

    Nice vid as ever. I've got the holzforma Chinese ms200t and it's taken a bit of messing around to get it running well. Replaced the fuel and air filters for Stihl ones, shortened the line on the spark plug boot etc. But the main thing has been loads of fiddling around with the carburettor.
    That little saw sounded like the low screw needed adjusting to stop it bogging out as much on full revs. Just a thought and someone might've already mentioned it in the comments but it's worth a go.

    • @metaspencer
      @metaspencer  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You said it man: monkeying around with those carb screws has helped a lot, though I always feel like I'm experimenting when it comes to carb adjustment. Plenty of power and a bit more control now ... definitely less $$$$ out the door :)

    The saw just sounded funky when tou were cutting! Im looking to getting a small battery chainsaw for limbs by my chipper. The only thing is they are bloody expensive. Not sure if this saw would be a good alternative. Cheers!

    Enjoyed the video. A couple weeks ago I took down a maple very similar to that one......a fun tree. I did all the limbing, topping and half the spar with my DCS-2500T. Finished it up with my Echo 4910. I like the looks of the leaner. I'd like that job. AND that Neo is junk in MHO.

    • @metaspencer

    • @metaspencer
      @metaspencer  ปีที่แล้ว

      For me I just use the Uni for a backup anchor/lifeline and for coming down out of the tree. When climbing/pruning/limbwalking I'm still more into the rope runner. I have noticed that the Uni runs a lot better on thicker ropes, like my 11mil. Devices are just different and everyone seems to have a favorite

    I believe that the most important thing about a chainsaw is how easy it is to start. After it’s warmed up, does it always start on the first pull?

    • @metaspencer
      @metaspencer  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    That's actually a decent little saw 😀
    The starter cover on mine is a bit different... I have the "chainsaw" branded version... It's a good little runner believe it or not I have the exact same one guilty of treeson made a video with.. I dropped mine 40 feet (yes really) from a tree and it fell just right in some brush on the clutch side... only thing that happened was a couple of the mounts got out of place... as far as cheap chinese products go you can't ask for much more... I've also talked to another youtuber that made a video about it and he told me he passed it on to someone and 2 years later it was still running... not sure what the deal is but farmertec sells a very similar saw but with only one bar nut... I'm assuming yours is the 2 nuts... now on to the rest of the video!

    Knock the saw all you want... It looks like it did the job just fine! Nowhere is it written that it's made for Professional work and knowing that you take it on the Job and relentlessly criticize it for not being the Pro. chainsaw you use. Not a fair analogy.
