I Paid Too Much For A Saw To Act Like This!

Stilh folks replaced the fuel mix solenoid. Is it fixed? I don't know, I haven't even tried to start it yet. I'll try in about 10 days when my wife goes back to teaching school. When da wife is home dey ain't no saw work!

 

Can't like that one

 

My wife and daughter are teachers,they start Tuesday.

 

Wow this is crazy, I would be firing that saw up asap, $1000 saw on the line that may be worthless?????

 

Give your wife some money, she go shopping, you can fire it up

 

I was just up that way last week and in Ware Place, and Princeton (on the way up) I was thinking how good the corn looked this year!! You should of seen it last year All the grass in greenville was brown unless you had irrigation.

 

I still have 30 acres of hay to cut, but with rain in the forecast......that's a no go.

 

I have a New Holland 311 for square bales, and a New Idea 4 x 5 for rounds.

Still cutting with a sickle bar though. New Holland 451.

I just have a 2 basket tedder, and an old JD665 ground driven rake.

Two antique tractors. A JD1120, and a MF135.

 

Round baler a fixed or variable chamber?

 

Good question. I just got it.......working on hooking up this weekend.

Up till now I've been having a friend roll my bigger fields. But........his baler broke two rolls into a ten acre field that was raked and ready. I had to get my brother in law to come roll it. That was the reason I decided to get a round baler of my own. If I'm gonna do this.......well, I need to be ready.

More will be revealed. lol

 

Here is the deal on such things; when they are working, they work great. When they start to develop problems they are just headaches. Take my old 93 Buick; please take it. No, anyway, the car had a strange problem where it would cut off when making wide curves like coming up on the motorway from the access ramp. Sometimes it wouldn't. I actually drove the car for a year without it cutting off. Everyone told me it was this and that etc. Then it started acting up again, cutting off on just making a turn from one road into another. It turned out to be the MAP sensor. Now one would think the MAP sensor would be good or bad and that it would throw the trouble code. Not this one. No codes and not always bad. It is probably the same for your saw. That is why I question putting too much electronic gizmo on a chainsaw.

 

I am a fan of mtronic and being around saws and working on them I've noticed that saws had carb,idle,starting problems before mtronic came along.

I remember how everyone hated efi and now a carb on a car is a memory.

 

speaking of carbs; any saws using fuel injectors or does having the oil in the fuel causes issues with injectors?

And of course the maintenance costs of autos have increased greatly and in some instances even having a code reader is not enough to diagnose problems on cars. The same is going to be true of saws as they add more and more computerised controls and sensors.

 

We're talkin fuel injection baby ... ala Stihl cut-off saws ... gonna put ol' bird legs and co in the soup line ...

 

The 1120 is a great small tractor. Made in Mannheim, Germany. The 1020 is basically the same machine, but with far less hydraulic power.

 

I built that 311 from a crashed baler........I might have some pics.


It was hit with a car. I used a chute and related parts from a JD baler.

I guess it's a FrankenBaler.
