    tree climber needed????

    Just to note, not long after this posting I had a local guy who runs a large tree service come out and do this job. Him and one employee came out in his personal car. Took them 2 hours give or take. They did all work with 2 saws with 18 inch bars except for the 2 base cuts. The stumps were...

    Briggs 22HP motor problems? Help

    umm that little safety feature needs to be energized for the engine to run if you unplug it the solenoid wont be energized and it will not pull the needle thus blocking fuel flow. i forget about those little buggers. it could be faulty and causeing the problem as well.

    tree climber needed????

    you sir are ignorant and arrogant. and i highly doubt you purchase all of your equipment new for every job. i dont run out and buy a new mig welder for every job i do. and i see no need for any saw with over a 16 inch bar for these trees. to have to have a 24 to do these is just trying to look...

    Pulling big logs

    possibly cut a bevel to the end so it doesnt dig into the dirt so much when you pull it.

    Time for a reminder

    i to am guilty of subconsiously self editing my naughty words with silly symbols..........it just feels wrong to type them out plainly. well i will do my best to curse plainly if i must so that it is picked up and edited by the software and not myself.

    tree climber needed????

    i should clarify the base of the trees is about twenty feet from the house the branches are 10 or so from the house not includeing the roof over the deck. these really arent that big of trees. i thought someone by now would have at least shown a little interest in making some cash on the side...

    Bigger saw needed for bigger jobs?
