[@lorriedmussett4692]

I cant recall the last time i heard a guy, Genuienly, ask another dude if he was feeling ok! Damien asked how you were feeling....is an example of the relationship you guys have built.

[@greywolf1606]

Today I had a surgery on my Achilles tendon. I have to lie with my foot elevated for 14 days. Horrible ,but if I can watch your video's it eases the pain. Love your team. Thanks August. Greetings from Belgium!

[@danowen9142]

I'm glad you are getting over whatever it is you had August. Prayers were said for you here. I bought a 2511t mostly because of your videos of it. It's my fav saw but we do quite different work.

[@bobwiese6128]

I am so happy to see you feeling better, August. 😊

[@Billster1955]

I wear wool muck boot socks while wearing spurs. They're thick and protect your lower leg from getting beat up. I've tried the longjohn bottoms, which help some, but these are better and go up to your knees. I still love climbing at 68.

[@NancyBryantIdeas]

I love that you said that you can only use one saw at a time.

[@robinelston5966]

Thanks for another enjoyable video, I'm still lovin my 2511. I'm going in my pines with it this weekend in my wonderful MB saddle. I think you read my mind on the tree hunting angle. I was kind of figuring you could expand your market base selling to the hunting crowd, it's exactly my plan to go aloft with my Redhawk .44 mag strapped on the saddle next season. Maybe you could market a line of MB holsters😁. Congrats on the new baby, 🙏Prayers for good health and safety always coming your way.

[@elieregnier7783]

I know the feeling of loving more then 1 saw. I just brought back to life a 201t and did a little port work to it, so ive been using it a lot lately, but i still love my 2511t

[@jefferyturner1920]

Thanks August always smile when I see you've posted a video . I am old and weak and the 2511 has been a game changer for me... I love it ..

A person who has common sense and a desire to listen and learn but also follow instruction...they can do a lot which is out of their norm. Under the right circumstances, why not let the owner help out. You may be giving them a good story to tell.

[@brandon-rustystreecare]

You talked me into it with another video of the 2511t. I been on the fence about getting one, and every time I see that sucker it rips!!

You better get one before they go up in price again

[@brandon-rustystreecare]

[@justinliedtke5570]

I'm catching up on your videos. Youre very correct about a harness being very comfortable to wait hours in for an animal. The 2.0 would be a lot more than a hunter would want to spend , or haul in. I was fortunate enough to get a New Tribe Revolution before they closed their shop. Its definitely better than any of the others I've tried. I considered hunting out of my Onyx until I got the Revolution. If I can ever wear out the Onyx , I will be trying a Monkey Beaver 5.0. You might be on to that revision number by the time I need to replace my current one.

[@batmantiss]

Those are neat little saws, echo sure is proud of them these days

[@scottmarshall6766]

Love my Panther 16" equipped modded 2511t. Been on the same bar since you started selling them, wore out a few chains along the way, waiting for a 20" bar if you ever get them. Just modded a friends new2 2511t - had a spare clutch for him, but had to use Stihl bar and 1/4 pitch green chain (he ground back the guard plates, but it's still not the same). With exhaust and carb work. it's nice, but not as fast as the Panther setup. Wish I had a harem....

[@briangerold6270]

August you are a philosopher in the trees!

[@pauldurham2527]

According to my saw guy. The echo 2511 does not like older gas. Mine was sitting for 2weeks and wasn’t running well, he dumped the gas and it ran like new.

[@pauldurham2527]

[@user-cy7jk8ll5g]

[@boomupengineering]

No one should underestimate the value of an extremely lightweight saw. I need to get my Speedcut Nano chain on mine, which should help quite a bit. I'll have to see if Makita has their nano sprocket available now. Nice to have the same bar/chain on my saws.

[@mattfleming86]

I put the 14" nano on mine. Not significantly faster than the 3/8lp but it is faster, and much smoother. The .325 nano sprocket is larger so it gets the chain speed up. It's a touch front heavy now but still very pleasant to run. The extra 2" of reach is worth it. I wish tsumura would make .043 lightweight skinny bars it would be like a dang scalpel.

[@boomupengineering]

@@mattfleming86 Yeah, I'll be happy to have a chain that isn't so grabby! I don't have any mods except for an Egan pipe. Should cut well enough for me but I do eventually want to get an engine assembly so I can play around with porting and then I little timing. A Tsumura bar would be nice - have their lightweights on all my Dolmars, including the 7900.

[@mattfleming86]

@@boomupengineering I'm at a simple muffler mod (mild in case i want to put it back on later) and a timing advance. Going to order the pipe soon. I didn't want to get too crazy until it was well broken in anyways. Echoes tend to "mod themselves" for the first 10-20 tanks (🤣) I do like the nano but don't expect it to cut BIG wood much faster. I think most of the gains come in smaller limbs from the sprocket as the kerf is not that much narrower than 3/8. But definitely handy when you need something small to drop cut flatter. I may get a quarter pitch b&c with a stihl or other high quality bar just to play around.

[@Strongrootstree]

@@boomupengineering the Eagan exhaust is awesome. He and I logged near each other for years.

[@MrEvanb93]

how do you feel about the yosemite finish on a bowline? i find it makes me uncomfortable to climb on or rig on vs a regular bowline knot

[@legend7ify]

.........G'day August, I love the channel mate. Cheers and best regards, Malcolm.

[@michaeldougfir9807]

Was that little saw an Echo? I have been considering getting a couple of Echo saws, one of which will be a top handle saw for climbing. So I would like to hear from August and others about this. Have you used Echo saws in tree work? How did they do? Did they have special features like the starter handle being a gas & oil wrench? And what else would you like to report?

[@NHlocal]

2 tie in points along with the lanyard is SUPER comfy! I'm not sure I would be using it to ambush helpless little animals so I could gaff 'em and eat 'em. 😁 MonkeyBeaver crew still makin' the hard work look easy. Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲 Randy

[@jamescurtis6802]

August, what is the smallest and largest diameter limb you would rig with that particular rigging snap you use?

[@br-dj2ti]

August just curious the zigzag you're using. It's the smaller one. Did you buy a bunch of them at 1 time? Or you still use in the same one? From years ago I see you. Don't use the new plus one just curious I have one as well

[@thegreenrevival4424]

Possibly unrelated, however I had idling issue with my echo 2511 mostly when hanging on harness (inverted). Mad skilled saw tech put a foam insert in there somewhere and seemed to help. Interesting.

[@BuseinaSpruce]

The idling is a pain on them, u gotta fiddle with the adjustments a bit to get it smooth, alittle goes a long way good luck🤙🏻

[@Billster1955]

Great video brother.

[@philleggitt3005]

Have the Echo saw running & put some carb cleaner spray though it, the type of cleaner i use will stall it out, leave for a few minutes, start and use...

[@markozalik4265]

For oil and gas cap,put from husqvarna. I have on my 2521t es x series. 🙂

[@levigranger5383]

The pull cord trick is cool but theyre also the only caps you can’t undo with just your hand like stihl/husky flip up caps. Love my ported 2511 with stihl 1/4 pitch tho. Great saw

[@batmantiss]

Echo has another top handle, the 355t (my favorite saw for removals). Good luck getting THOSE caps off by hand

[@BuseinaSpruce]

The small husky flip caps fit perfectly, some people say they leak but ive not had a problem

[@Rustykfd]

Hi august, thanks for your vidéo. A little question please. Do you use the 1/4 0.43 gauge chain or the 3/8 p 0.43 gauge? I use 1/4 0.43g and love it but the 3/8 0.43g may permit to use the 3699 stihl chain witch is a full chisel.... so perhaps may be be better. Thanks for your answer and help Climb safe friend Jo from france

[@DOGFOODACTUAL8541]

Can anyone give me a suggestion for a bar replacement while waiting for the Panthers to get a thumbs up? I bought the conversation from Monkey Beaver for my 2511t and it has been outstanding up to yesterday and finally failed. Can I just use a Stihl bar with my extra Panther chains? Is there a better option? I'm just a home owner that cuts my own fire wood, not a pro like many of you, but this saw has been a game changer for me, and I'd like to get it back into my game as quickly as possible. Running my larger Stihls is beating me up for limbing and such. Thanks all!

If it won't idle, at least you don't have to shut it off.

[@chondromarecords]

my 2511 stalls out when its not had much use or the air filter is a bit clogged. Such a tiny saw, have to keep on top of the maintenance a bit extra. You probably know that, but for watchers who have just got one etc . . .

[@TimberTrainer]

Most of the time the air filter is dirty when my 2511 doesn't idle. Too much oil from spitback doesn't allow flow at idle.

[@beardy4831]

Not idling well is my usual sign to clean/swap the air filter. Cutting power is restored then too.
