You guys ever heard of this happening: my employee was using our 660 out in the field was getting run pretty hard bucking up tons of wood from felled trees. All of a sudden a huge POP and the spark plug shot out the hole. It looks like it stripped the threads on the chainsaw itself. Never heard...

Anyone used this saw yet? Looks like a great lightweight saw for deadwooding and pruning trees. I use my silky a lot in the tree, but would love to have a really light saw to bring with me. My 192T was a faithful companion for almost 6 years and though not comparable with the 200T it served its...

Another short video from some jobs we did the last few weeks. Just got a second gopro so I'm hoping to start doing some different camera shots and angles other than POV. If anyone has any tips or suggestions shoot it from the hip please. <iframe width="560" height="315"...

Another video from this weekend. Ended up getting stung in the nose by a bee from a nearby hive at the end of the day. NOw my face looks like I got the crap beat out of me. We were at walgreens and people were looking at me like I was crazy pretty funny. :lol: <iframe width="560" height="315"...

Some footage from this last week. The pines were pretty straight forward, I lost all the footage from the day before we did a banyan over the same house and had to setup a cool floating TIP between the top of one of the pines and another tree way up the hill and crank the banyan branches up to...

Here's a short vid from yesterday pruning a monkeypod with the hitch hiker. Once I got the HH dialed in correctly (the right direction on the wraps) it runs very smooth. After using all day I definitely am loving this new tool. Thanks Paul! jp:D <iframe width="560" height="315"...

I'm posting this here to hopefully save some potential headaches and $ for housers down the road. Apparently Ford installed steel after axle tanks in their F450/550 vehicles from about 99-2010. They used a metallic liner on the inside of the fuel tank. This liner was supposed to prevent rust...

Here's a video of a relatively small norfolk pine we took down last week. Nothing exciting by any stretch, wanting to put the camera to use. Of course forgot the camera on a monster albizia take down with rigging the week before, oh well. Enjoy. <iframe width="560" height="315"...

I've got to step it up and buy a bigger saw, it's long overdue. Been borrowing big saws from friends when the need arises. Figured I would buy a new one at the local stihl dealer here but the prices in HI are ridiculous. Anyone have a used 660 they'd consider parting with? I know this is a long...

We took down two Euc trees yesterday in Pupukea on the North Shore. MB I'm not sure if this in the right spot so please move if there is a better place. Still had a fun surf session at the end of the day at Leftovers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZwpCpLebD8&feature=youtu.be jp:D <iframe...

Hey all the housers in the northwest I'm heading there mid December for week and a half. I'm hauling my gear over as well as I've got to do some work for a family member when I get back to norcal around Christmas time. If anyone can use a hand (that hasn't shut down for the holidays) I would...

I've been following all the SRT hype for a couple years now but never really got into actually working a tree SRT. For long ascents I'd either Rads or frogwalk up and then switch to DRT. Well I finally decided to give the rope wrench a real try and have been using it pretty regularly for the...

I'm going to be looking at buying a mini loader in the next year, I don't know anything about them (in terms of what brands are good, what size/type engines to get) except I know I will want to get a BMG from NordicDave to fit on the loader. My goal is to get a dump trailer and a mini to feet...

Well split from the chaos here on Oahu and went to Portland for their comp and to visit an aunt and uncle and cousin who live in Aloha just south of Portland. Got to meet nice guy dave and a whole bunch of other PNW climbers, was a great time. I was really impressed with the level of climbing...

Anyone have this book? I actually was going to buy to get ready to re-take BCMA but the book is over $100 and even more than that on Amazon. I was hoping to maybe pay shipping to borrow for a few weeks to get ready for the exam or if anyone has an older copy they want to sell? I did lousy on the...

Anyone know where I can pickup a 200T? We can't get any at any of the dealers here in HI, knowing Stihl that may be the case across the country. If anyone has an extra one they'd part with :lol:. Just casting a line, thanks! jp:D
