I operate a small tree service on the side. I have a MS291 and MS362cm, both bought brand new from the same dealer in the last 2 years. Now, I’m looking to buy a HT133 pole saw and a MS193t (over $1,000 total). If I buy both at the same time from the same dealer I bought my other saws from...

Came across a MS192TC for sale for $150. The guy says he replaced the carb when he got and uses it as a backup saw. He says he hasn’t ran it in 2 months. It starts but bogs down at full throttle. Pics look pretty clean. My concerns are getting eaten up with repair costs. A new 193T is around...

I’m in Central Florida. I have a very small tree service on the side. For the most part, storm cleanup is done in my area. Over the last few days, I have noticed brand new dump trailers with temp tags hauling debris. These looked like regular guys in pick up trucks. Of course we see dump...

I acquired a PPF210 for a price I couldn't turn down. It was on the ground when I limb landed right on the engine. Anybody out there have an engine laying around that is in good working order that they want to part with? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went to my local store today with the intentions of buying a Stihl 193T. The guy at the store showed me the equivalent Shindaiwa model and said it was on sale for 20% off. What was suspicious to me is the Shindaiwa shelf was in the corner, nearly empty (Hurricane Irma just hit and this store...

I bought the MS291 11 months ago. It's my first saw and I'm learning a lot from it as I got. Yesterday, I taking down a tree about 20 inches in diameter and it got really hot and cut off. I let her sit over night and cleaned her up and she still won't start today. Being Labor Day, no shops are...

I recently came across "Thumbtack". It seems similar to Home Advisor and other sites looking to be paid to refer customers. Anybody have any good or bad experiences with them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few questions about chain sharpening: Currently, I'm using a file without a handle or anything to sharpen. I'm constantly stabbing myself with it. I've seen handles, contraptions that hold the file and heard of people using Dremel's. What's your recommendation? What produces the best results...

The possibility of adding stump grinding to my tree service has me puzzled. We're a small tree service in FL and I'd like to advertise to do stumps also. I found a used Toro 13hp and a Bluebird 13hp stump grinder for sale. Everybody says I should drop the cash and get a big one but dropping $25K...

Anybody have any experience (good or bad) with Bluebird stump grinders? This would be my first one. I'm looking at the SG1314A. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
