Ha! They love hunting stupid things like reptiles, insects and amphibians. Mine loves catching frogs.

Big western red cedar beside a house. There was also an old shed right below the far side of the tree that you can't see in this pic. 3 stems. 1 of them very big and co dominant with another two big leaders growing out of it lower down. I climbed one stem nearest the house, de limbed it...

Been doing a lot of line clearance lately so no fun trees to post. Reduced this hornbeam last weekend. It was growing at 90°. The customer didn't want to cut it at all but it was red rotten at the butt and the very end branches were practically up against the house. Apparently people...

Yeah i ordered the 1/4 version of the saw but they sent the 3/8 version. What's your web address? Indeed it is but I dont have one. Friend has one, I used it to tube the saw the other day. Much better now.

There is no limiter caps on this. I need some round splined tool to tune. Idk. Whatever chain it came with. Echos own chain? Or oregon? It was horrid aggressive out of the box. Ive sharpened it twice without touching the rakers and it still feels jumpy.

I like this echo but its really not suited to timber this size. However, its running very rich. I dont have a tuning tool for it. It didn't come with one, which is frustrating. It came with a chainsaw wrench and an Allen key tool but not a carb tool. Annoying. Id love to see how it cuts...

Id say youre right. However half of the loose plugs/decompression valves I've seen have been on machines that were fresh from the dealership and had never been used or tampered with. So no one other than a stihl professional had touched the machine. I can't remember if I ever took the plug out...

Check out this big dead ash growing out of the bank of this stream. Pretty cool. Another unhealthy looking sycamore. We felled it directly away from the camera. It was quite back weighted. We had to double and triple stack wedges to get it to fall. I had cut my hinge down to nothing, not...

Happened to my 2018 ms261c in November. Decompression valve came out of my 2018 ms462c in march 2024 The spark plug in my 1998 020t was coming loose a while back but I noticed before it stripped the threads. Mine and my work partners 2 new 2025 ms500is both had loose spark plugs from the...

Looks a bit like a gilthead bream

Lol good response.

So do I. We borrow this one from an agri contractor friend. We saw timber for him, he lends us machines. This part of the country is very overgrown.

There is no such place as "county Adare" You probably mean Adare, in county Limerick. Id like to visit californee some day, im told Pearl Harbour and texas are there. Jokes aside, adare is a nice town but very busy. Ive driven through it s few times but never wanted to stop.

Some roadside ash trees. A big drop below them. We used the chipper to pull. It has a winch. As you can see I didn't bother putting a face cut in that little spruce. The biggest one. When it fell the butt sprang up in the air and the whole thing rolled a fair ways down the bank...

A small site clearance job. Mini digger makes light work of it. I didn't trust this dead ash to climb. Some trees are just safer dismantled with rods and polesaw. Provided theyre fairly small trees.
