Superfund Site!🤣. Thank You Bryce for a great demonstration. It was definitely a treat having you in the Woodyard! I truly enjoyed the way Both Father and Son were so comfortable poking fun at one another! Well Bryce, it’s probably a good thing the longer extension was back ordered. Otherwise you know who would have attempted to coerce you into breaking the rules so clearly established in the manual! Bless’ns to the both of you, Tedd

Morning Chris and Bryce. Great demonstration of the Honda with attachments. This video will probably sell a few of these units. Stay safe!🪵

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ha! Maybe so!

[@andregreen8040]

That was one of the most enjoyable videos I’ve ever seen on KZbin. I have a Honda UMK35 line trimmer. You’ve sold me on the pruner and hedge trimmer attachments. I was going to purchase the Honda HHH25D hedge trimmer but the trimmer attachment can reach higher areas than the dedicated hedge trimmer. And the pruner with the extension worked wonderfully well also. No need for dangerous ladder climbing. Fantastic video. Well done.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks so much Andre, there is another 700+ videos on my channel waiting for you to watch!

[@andregreen8040]

@@InTheWoodyard Make a video on the Honda hedge trimmer attachment you son bought and I promise I will watch it. Lol You did a thorough job with the pruner attachment. You didn’t just hold it up to the camera, like most ( so called) reviewers do and talk about what it can do. Hopefully you’ll do the same with the hedge trimmer.

[@davidedwards3734]

Great to see Father and son working together in the woodyard. Have a Safe Day

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks David!

[@min-dakwoodhound7314]

Reading instructions, wiping down the spilled oil to show room specs... the boy turned himself into a city slicker! His actions reminded me of my uncle who would do the exact same thing. For me, a touch of oil and sawdust on it just shows you use it and if folks don't like it, they don't have to look at it. Don't feel bad Chris, I type the same way.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I wish I was a bit more tidy with my equipment!

[@tubby6339]

"Way better than an echo" Fighting words, Chris! The echo srm and pas systems are bulletproof workhorses

[@InTheWoodyard]

HA! Echo does make some great stuff, I would love to run more of their saws!

[@Brian-Outdoors]

I love all things Honda too. Motorcycles, current lawn mower, cars, tiller and both single a 2 stage Honda snowblowers. I thought I was the only one ever who purchased the Honda Versattach system as they removed it from my local ACE store. It works great but it is heavy. Thanks to this video I now want the blower attachment even though I don’t need it. Tell your son if he wants a bit bigger blower or a backpack blower and still wants to remain 4 stroke he can buy what was Dolmar and now is Makita blowers. I have the both the hand held and the backpack and they work very well for the home owner. Definitely go for the larger cc backpack blower not the smaller cc backpack blower as they say larger is always better.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Very cool, Bryce will be happy there is another Honda fan!

[@andrewsamanthamadison3320]

That tool is cool! I was debating on buying the one stihl offers. I think the biggest benefit of this one over stihl is the 4 stroke motor! May have to go try one out before I pull the trigger! Great vid Chris! Thanks again!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Cool, let me know is you do, I would like your impression.

[@canvasman2307]

The interplay between Father and son is priceless. I can’t speak for the Honda convertible power head pole saw…but I’ve used a Stihl HT131 pole pruner with 14” bar for a lot of tree jobs and borrowed my buddies Stihl combi-system trimmer, blower, power broom, pole saw a few times. The power, rigidity, and on the fly adjustability of the pro version pole pruner HT131 is way better than the combi-system IMO. Besides, not stumbling around with more pole extended than what you need to make the cut improves safety and stamina. I’m a fat fingered hunt-n-peck typist like Chris 😂

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, the pro tools are always better!

[@SGD3000]

It was nice meeting you Bryce. Wow! I didn't know Honda made those type of tools. I didn't see your dad (Chris) return your powerhead at the end of the video, so you still might have to travel 🚙 to borrow it lol. You guys feed off each other well. Have a good one!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Shannon, he did take it back home!

[@sawsurgeon]

Superfund Site!🤣. Bryce, thank You for such a detailed demonstration of your new system. It was definitely a treat to see you in The Woodyard. I truly enjoyed the way both Father and Son were so comfortable poking fun at one another! Well Bryce, be grateful the longer extension is on back order. Otherwise you know who would have coerced you into connecting both extensions😬thereby breaking one of many cardinal rules stated do clearly in the operator’s manual! Bless’ns to the both of ya’s, Tedd

[@tbonemc2118]

You know for about 20 years I used big stihl 240volt chainsaws with 20" bars without any bar oil at all. They've discontinued them now and I can't remember the model number but they were a beast of a saw. Something similar to the power of the original farm boss. We used them for cutting poly pipe up to 1600mm diameter and the reason for no lubrication of any kind was to stop any contamination for the welding we were doing to the pipe. A failed weld could've cost many thousands so the beating the saws cost was incidental. I can assure you the bars and chains on their saws are extremely tough. A typical saw probably ran for 3 to 4 hours continuously every day and I guess the average life of a saw was about 10 years. Even using no oil on the bar or chain, bars were probably swapped out after a couple of years and chains could last out 3 or 4 months before they stretched too much for the chain adjustment on the saw. We never broke a chain. It's tough believing Stihl no longer make them because you plugged them in and they went first time every time, they were light, they were quiet with really only chain noise and they produced no exhaust and these saws were used indoors. Hey Chris, when are we going to see some wood deliveries using that old truck. You know a cut and polish, some air in the tyres and the windows wound up and she'll be ready to go. You can't have valuable machinery like that taking up space without it getting used.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I make a lot of money with that old truck as a photography prop in my other business! The saw you described sounds awesome!

[@shawnyoung4714]

Very nice video Chris and Bryce very intertaining and information. Chris the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You two even sound alike. If the video was strictly audio I don't think I could tell your apart. Chris seem so to really enjoy the saw head attachment. Good job!

Chris watching you trim those trees with your sons Honda tree trimming attachment you are leaving 4 and 5 inch spuds on the limbs you are trimming you have to trim them flush to the limb to prevent tree rot thats if you want those trees to live for many years but if you intend to take them down in the next few years it doesn’t matter.you have to cut them flush so the bark will regrow over the wone.

Chris, I have the Echo PPT-280 Power Pruner. My tip is do not fill the chain/bar oil reservoir all the way. That few extra ounces, when the pole is extended out 13'2" will multiply a lot. Do not let the reservoir run dry but it does not need to be completely full. FYI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks John!

[@edhansen8531]

I was surprised that it does not use a mix gas. I have a Stihl 130 4 cycle and it needs 50:1 gas mix, bought new in 2007, or 08, and I use it a lot, and have only replaced plug in it about every 4 years. They have to have some kind of lubricant????

[@InTheWoodyard]

I would think so too.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I do not know, you might want to ask a pro shop that sells them.

[@zalmbreggin]

Great video. I’m basically sold but the only hesitation I have is the weight, and you mentioned how heavy it is a couple of times. I have a fairly large rural property and I want to use it mainly for brushcutting, and the powerhead alone is 3.5lbs heavier than the comparable Stihl Kombi. I just wonder how that weight difference will play out if you’re using it for 3 or 4 hours. Incidentally, I think you mentioned that the dry weight of the powerhead is about 9.5lbs, and I’m a little confused by that, because but the Honda website says it’s 13.2lbs.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe I was wrong, but I do remember that it was heavy after a while!
