    Stihl MS500i reviews

    Been running one full time since December. I think it pulls a bit better than my 462.

    How do you guys bid on apartment complex's?

    I never intentionally pass them up, but I will give a fairly high price. If I get the job I know it's going to be worth my time.

    518 fuel issue

    It's kinda bigger than that. The tank is shaped like a saddle and goes over the drive line to the rear end. We blew the U joint and it shot the drive line into the tank. We "field fixed" it, but it needs a proper repair when we finish this unit.

    518 fuel issue

    Ended up being the lift pump. The secondary fuel filter did have some nasty frozen crap in it too though. I will clean the tank soon. We have a small leak we need to fox anyhow and will just clean it when we do that. My biz partner replaced the lift pump the other day and said it ran like a...

    518 fuel issue

    The issue started when we bought it about 2 months ago. Figured out it had one bad injector and replaced that. Also replaced the primary fuel filter about a month ago. Took some cold and running bleeding after that but I had it up to power for a few weeks and then yes. Issue did re-start with...

    Career Advice

    It is a hassle running the show, and tons of stress. With that said, I would have a hard time going back to work for someone else at this point. Just having the plant health background you do puts you miles ahead of the competition. I say run with it and maybe bump the prices a bit to make it...

    Winter wedges?

    Frozen trees will spit wedges, especially white fir. As for wedges I like hard heads. Not to spendy and you can beat the crap out of them. I've always found the white and red wedges to deform too easy when you really need to whack.

    518 fuel issue

    Wondering if anyone on here can help. I've got a 1994 cat 518 I've been having some issues with. It starts and runs fine, but under load it starts to act like it's running out of fuel or bogging really bad. We did have a bad injector and replaced that.

    First Stump Grinder

    I wouldn't get talked into the "never clean up" camp. We charge a lot more than those guys and take tons of work from them. Different clientele, different market. I want all my jobs to look tidy and clean when I leave. We also cater to a lot of fancier homes.

    Work shirt with zipper? So no saw chips will get into my under pants!

    I have found the man romper to be a very suitable solution. It keeps the chips out and it has plenty of storage for your iPhone, fidget spinner, and tampons.

    First time buying climbing gear...Where to start??

    See, I like side loading my HH. It let's you work off the side of leaning spars. So I've thought about the RR, but never pulled the trigger for that reason.

    Canned fuel or ethanol free gas?

    Anyone buying canned mix obviously isn't running a saw for a living. I buy efree when it's at the pump, otherwise I buy premium and go on my way........to make a living with a chainsaw.
