How'd it go today?

Ruining whats left of a perfectly good tree, here is Kavey up the larger lead we are removing. I was busy removing a cypress, setting rigging and pruning. Joined in on the rope too. Rob had a long haul to the chipper and little room to stage. Gives me a chance to provide guidence to the youngun as well :lol: I'll post more when we are finished. Custy wants more, I want less taken. I'll cash the check and we need the work. 20250715_104825.jpg
 
What's wrong with the 500i? Have you been abusively cold seizing it with no warmup? That one is particularly sensitive to being worked hard without enough warm up.
broken plastics and a broke dog, it runs but its iffy weather or not its safe to run, top cover is cracked so the air filter isn't sealing, not gonna risk blowing it up, woulda swapped bars but I didn't have a spare with me and the job was an hour from my house, my mistake on not bringing a spare

the dude I'm working for has a habit of cold starting saws and rev bombing them, including my 500i, I've gotten to where I yell at him for even touching my saws because I hate rebuilding saws, I usually let mine idle for the walk from the truck to the tree before touching the throttle

Used washer I bought several months back, to replace the newer one giving us fits, just died as well. So using the laundry mat for a while. Blessing and a curse.
Appliances just are not built like they were.
Speed Queens are still supposed to still be a durable make. Not cheap though. Used one might be a good option.
