Pinched/strained/tweaked tendons are one thing. Wait till you actually have one rip completely in half. Wait, make that two of them because I've had a total rupture of the right knee patellar tendon that let my kneecap slingshot up into my lower quad. Then about 5 years later had my right elbow...

Maybe Ducati, Kawasaki, Suzuki, H/D, etc should be forewarned. If I were in the market for a motorcycle Honda would be near the bottom of the list. They probably won't get involved with saws because they can't do any better than what's already on the market. Would be surprised if they could...

If you remove the stamped metal plate the pump will be under it and should be held in place with one screw. The oil lines connect to one end of the pump. See diagram for a better understanding...

I'm a firm believer in Opti-2 and mix it with 89 octane at 80:1 for all 2-strokes I own. Been using it for about 12 years now. Burns rather clean/smokeless, provides great component protection and never have had any plug fouling, clogged spark arrestors, etc.

Well Husqvarna thinks it has something to do with it as 2 ring piston configurations is one of their pro vs. landowner, etc. class distinctions.

If the 359 is a pro level saw why did Husqvarna go with a 1 ring piston design? One of the common features of "commercial" application 2-strokes is a 2 ring design for enhanced compression, heat exchange, etc.

In other words, a legend in his own mind and not much else to offer.

I know this subject has been addressed MANY times, but I'm wondering if current gasoline quality is that bad. Was at my local Western Auto store earlier, who also happens to be the local Husky dealer/general small engine repair shop for the area. I asked the owner about ethanol issues... he...

I prefer to work hard AND smart as it's not in my nature to take it easy. I also utilize the tool(s) that I have onhand, whether it's ideal for the job or not.

If somebody considers a Rancher 455 "heavy" then maybe they shouldn't be handling a saw to begin with. And yes I've used the saw for hours at a time with no fatigue. May bother some, just not me. Honestly I appreciate a bit of heft in a saw (or a drill, etc) as it keeps things a bit more stable...

I was in the same boat as the OP several years ago. We bought some property that had quite a few trees, most being hardwood. We didn't mind paying a local guy to cut the 5-6 that were too close to the house and most of those had some lean to them. For the other 30+/- left I went to Lowe's and...

I know a cellphone pic wouldn't be much to go off of because most cellphones suck at pic quality, but how could he have stopped you to begin with? Call it chainsaw papparazzi if you will. I'd have whipped the phone out and snapped a few pics in 4-5 seconds and been done with it regardless of...

Been running a Sears Brushwacker (spelling?) from the early 90s for about the last 9-10 years. My dad used it from 1992 until he gave it to me around 2000. It's 38cc of raw torque... only hits 5-6,000RPM, but has the most a$$ kicking low end power of anything I've ever used. Will power a 10" saw...

One thing I just don't understand... the 2nd episode I saw involved the crew of "NoSack" cutting a rather large trunk in the back of a home and hoisting it right over the house just inches away from hitting the roof. Why have a crane in that spot? Why not just drop the trunk on the ground and...

Have no idea, maybe it's Stihl's way to truly validate things instead of them saying it. Because as we all know Porsche doesn't make junk. Just some of the best engineered stuff on the planet. Later!

You know it's retarded to constantly hear "what the pros use" because the ONLY thing that separates a "pro" from an "amateur" is that the "pro" does it for a living. Doesn't mean they know more about it or do it better or use better equipment.... just that they decided to do it for a living. I...

According to where you live those trees could have been having issues due to the drought that plagued alot of the country. I live in central NC and I've seen lots of trees having issues relating to the drought. Later!

Not really a fan of anything alcoholic (well except Mike's Hard Lemonade), but do enjoy a nice double shot of espresso once or twice daily. That's comparable to a few shots of Jack Daniels in the coffee world. Later!

Only problem is if you guys paint your vehicles in that Stihl color scheme it surely will cause it to break down on you. Better stick with Husky orange. Later!

Yeah the Carrera GT is considered to be 1 of the 3 most awesome supercars in existence to own. Later!
