I’m reassembling my 661 because gravity crushed it I just realized I didn’t order the 2 locating sleeves for mating the case halves. Are they reusable? If so, how do I remove them without damaging them? I will probably order new ones and wait to finish putting it back together. Unless one of...
I’m seeing more aluminum trailers around but haven’t found anyone using one for tree work. Other than the obvious concern about it getting beaten up by logs are there other downsides? I was considering a galvanized trailer but the empty weight has me considering aluminum. I use a trailer for my...
My customer arrived home after a weekend away to find a limb cut from their Oak tree. Turns out that their neighbor had a dead Spruce removed and the company parked in my customers backyard for the removal. They didn’t have permission to use the property or to cut the limb. They left a nasty...

I’ve recently started looking for a compact wheel loader. The new ones seem too expensive but there don’t seem to be any used ones available. Anyone have any tricks they’re willing to share to find used? I got quoted over 60k for a 500 series Avant
Finally bought 2 person comms last week. After reading many reviews I went with SpeakEasy instead of Sean. So far so good. Connect automatically, stay connected, good noise cancellation, good volume and clarity. Battery life seems good so far but remains to be seen. They did arrive with one bad...
