    I just mark them with sidewalk chalk. Much cheaper by the bucket in the toy section

    Great idea ! Plus can keep some in my lil ammo toolbox on the tractor !
    I've just been using old half cans of spray paint from projects of years gone by . But I ran out..had to buy a new can..ouch !

    Had a chance to clean the 562xp up. Cut all that Ash non stop without a compressed air blow out..or cleaning of any sort. That Ash is very fine dusty stuff. So I was shocked at how little there was to do.

    I have an 18 inch stick that I kept losing. I put a piece of orange tape on it and solved the problem.

    Last post on this. Getting the Ash chunks over to my dad..so he can take them the rest of the way. 6 loads out. Was a nice change of pace from the normal. Got to love the Switch n Go box.
