The best Climbing Saw I've used

Using a ported 2511t echo with a 14 "shindaiwa bar and 1/4 pitch chain.
Saw built by Travis, for anyone interested in getting one of these bad boys made for them email [e-mail] "custom echo" as the subject

[@Ollierrr]

My 2511 is my favourite saw. I just run a 10” quarter pitch bar and chain and it’s an absolute unit. Converting the saw to quarter pitch was game changer.

[@andrewmcbride9769]

Where did you find the parts to convert to 1/4 pitch ?

[@Ollierrr]

@@andrewmcbride9769 the sprocket from off eBay and the bar is just a stihl one.

2511T has been my go to for many years now! Glad you're getting into it and also now have a damn knee ascender, its about time! 🤣

[@troyerthedestroyer]

I love my ported 2511t! The power to weight ratio is amazing!

[@havespurswillclimb]

Enjoyed the video. Nice little saw.....I have one, but now prefer E-saws (Echo 2500T & Husky 540i). It is a joy climbing and working the trees. Can't explain it, but it's a fun time. Nice work up there....and super felling.

[@hollybeaumont5953]

I run a couple of 2511T's, ported by Paveen Raj in Malaysia, great saws!

[@jakeharris4465]

If it’s brand new wait until it runs in a bit more! It sounds like it could go a little leaner on the H jet and you’ll get a tad more top end speed out of it,they don’t like to be to lean thow,iv got 3 of them and they have saved my shoulder and they rock for there size

[@StihlChainsaws]

I use the stihl ms150tc & with a couple mods it became my favorite saw as well. I use it over my 201 & 200 These little saws are like having a one handed lazer blade, & your shoulders & wrists will thank you Good video STAY SAFE

[@treeclimberharry582]

Yeah so light it's unreal

[@jiffypop247]

you could lean your saw out a touch to get even more power, sounds a bit rich. I'm guessing the carb limiter caps have already been removed since you had it ported, usually red plastic. Get yourself a tachometer and set it 13000rpm. it'll be a big difference. I'm sure Travis tuned it for his location. Top handles without mtronic are fairly temp and altitude sensitive.

[@treeclimberharry582]

@jiffypop247 yeah ok cool I'll have a play with it

[@readifer]

always a pleasure watching you work Harry and stoked for you and your new saw! i just sent in my ol' 200t in to a place here in the states to get it ported. pretty excited for the power.

[@treeclimberharry582]

Thanks mate, oo a ported 200t will be unreall 👌

[@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws]

Nice saws! The link below is an Aaron A. Lynch's short of one of the Stihl 201 he just finished up for GroundPounder! The builds are on his channel. Thought it was worth sharing for y'alls viewing pleasures! kzbin.infoqURkEXHszV8?si=VKzGyqD4fvG-7S66

Thanks for another fun video. Godspeed.

[@baronvon8407]

good job guys love your new saw, stay safe

[@br-dj2ti]

I missed you buddy hope all is well glad to see a new video I love the 2511 I actually have eight of them I know a lot but I absolutely love them I have eight of them they're all from different Builders except for four

[@treeclimberharry582]

Thanks man I always appreciate your comments! 8!? Haha that's so good!

[@br-dj2ti]

Mostly all of my echo 2511 have the steel bar quarter pitch absolutely rip I think my opinion it's the best setup for the 2511 the quarter pitch

[@n085fs]

I been using a very aged McCulloch, 32cc 16" bar. I had to buy an Oregon bar and chain, it cuts alright. But last week it ingested the air filter. I've never seen an air filter degrade and crumble that quickly. The morning check all looked good, it had been running great the day prior. Granted, I didn't remove the air filter for the check, but it was all there with a visual inspection. While moving between bucking, it just refused to idle and needed increased RPM to keep going. I should've stopped immediately and took it apart like I normally do, but I wasn't in the mood and just wanted to get the last 4 cuts done. When it refused to run for the last 2 cuts, I finally broke attitude and took off the cover and found half the air filter gone. I might break it down to the crankshaft and clean it all out and see if I can keep it going for a few more years, or at least have a "functioning trophy". I am proud of how long I kept that saw running. But, I decided to improve my quality of life and stop struggling to find parts for a saw that is no longer manufactured. I bought the MS 194T. I'm told that it'll be in by the end of the week for me to pickup, new in box. I'm looking forward to it. Oh yeah, I forgot that I need to stroke your ego. Good job, man. You and your team done good work.

[@treeclimberharry582]

Wow that sucks it decided to consume half your air filter haha! Thanks for the ego stroke too 🤣

[@jefferyturner1920]

Love my 2511.

[@jakothegreat8314]

Hey brother, another great video! Way to slay it. What’s your camera setup? I’m looking at getting a kit for an upcoming helicopter removal I’m doing and your videos come out real clean and crisp. Stay safe and much love from NZ

[@treeclimberharry582]

Thanks mate, just a gopro 9. Sweet as defs film a helicopter removal!!

[@Dolmar-Rick]

I do think you need a bar spike on it as it looks like it hasn't gotten one installed... they make a big difference, I run the panther one on mine... not too big and not too small tho fews other available which are pretty good👍

[@rickstafford5316]

Nice work

[@richardf9137]

Good Stuff Brother!!

[@christilton350]

Needs a tune sounds really rich.

[@charlesmullins3238]

I need my 150t ported..dude that thing blazes through wood….102 today n Kentucky…bet you don’t even get excited till 105…😉

[@ArcaneArborWolfe]

Great work Harry!! I was thinking the Echo or MS 151

[@meporter69]

Get the Echo 2511T, only the muffler mod is needed to wake it up.

[@meporter69]

I also switched to Stihl full chisel chain

[@SidonianTree]

Soli Deo Gloria brother. Well done

[@trimatree5577]

Praise God brother

[@peelnation]

never liked them stock. would love to try ported

[@br-dj2ti]

You're exactly right stock I believe they're horrible all mine are ported and when you port them and do a little bit of other work and exhaust and stuff man do they wake up they are unbelievable especially with the quarter pitch bar and chain love it

[@br-dj2ti]

I usually run my 2511 at 1 and a half to two turns on the high three turns on the low if that helps you at all

[@treeclimberharry582]

Ok cool I'll have a little play with it

[@williamfleenor7687]

AMEN

[@spencerbaldwin2303]

Nice one mate, do you have the muffler cover from West Coast Saw? I think there's a dealer in Aus

[@JWFAdvent]

Hey guys, just wondering, what opportunities are there for an Australian going into climbing Arboriculture straight out of High School. I’m talking about pathways and money? Thanks

[@HYDETREEWORKS]

Sounds a little rich. But definitely cuts faster. Turn the H in 1/2 turn

[@VeteranTreeService]

Did you just say, why bomb when you can rig!? 😮

[@treeclimberharry582]

yeah was being facetious Haha

Gday. I've tried searching for contact details. I am in Ferntree Gully and have teo sizable Messmates (500mm and 600mm diameter at bases) that Knox Council have indicated will be approved for removal (planning application going in now) Interested ? if yes how do i find your details. Cheers

2511?

[@TourqueMonster]

I built that saw. I've been talking with Joe Boyd about doing one for you, August, and Joe. I just shipped over a new Arial rigging device I designed for climbing. If you haven't seen it yet, ask Joe about it. The 16'" speedcut nano bar and chain works well in my part of the country on hardwoods but doesn't seem to do as well with the wood he gets into in the perth australia area...

[@jeffschroeder9089]

@@TourqueMonster hell ya I’d love to use one

Everyone needs a good running 2511t.
