I use an Echo one occasionally for touching up in the woods. It has a large plastic thumbscrew to tighten the clamp, but I like the way yours is...
Bet that was startling! Was it your horse?
May we never forget those lost, and likewise never forget those who attacked us.
If you do use tongs, you might find a simple hook handy for the other hand if handling big rounds. Because, again, you don't have to waste energy...
I've tried tongs, and still use them for moving long poles and larger brush while I'm cutting and clearing. I have a larger (up to 20" or so)...
Probably so!
Maybe, although I was thinking along a mechanical linkage line. I keep thinking about a treadle pedal with a sleeved cable, like a large throttle...
Just curious if anyone has rigged a foot control for their garden-variety log splitter, such as the Dirty Hands/Huskee/County Line type? I’ve...
That's hilarious. You just went apecrap and starting ranting and insulting folks when they were very obviously pulling a prank on you (and went to...
My first thought as well.
Interesting! I had roughly the same idea, but our land is rough and steep in much of the the wooded parts. I figured I’d spend a lot of time...
Or there's this idea. I don't remember where I found this - it might have even been on here. It made me laugh just because of the hillbilly-ness...
I can't remember the correct name (brain cramp), but that's where you adjust the detente kick-off pressure so the control handle kicks off at the...
Yep, that seems to be the standard configuration, at least with the ones I've seen. They've got an XX-micron filter filtering the return oil, but...
It's handy to have a beagle to inspect your work. :) My good friend Maggie likes to keep up with everything I do. Here she is recently inspecting...
I understand that the filter can’t/shouldn’t be in the intake line because of cavitation. Putting it in the return line means anything except pump...
Very nice work! That stock finish turned out well - I like the luster of a lower gloss or oil finish. There's just something that "fits" with old...
I went through the filter replacement shuffle with mine last year. Cross-reference charts often don't match micron ratings on the filters that are...
Huh, so they do exist! Thanks for your reply! Is that just a Massachusetts thing, or a New England thing? From the silence on my question I...
Interesting, I did not know that!
