Some of the best deck designs ever built were/are stamped. Residential or commercial equipment. It's not how it's made, but what it's made of...
They were actually. Wheelhorse, Deere, MTD, AYP etc. All of them before the mid 90's were pretty "flexible" actually. Not very tolerant of...
That head needs the wear parts replaced (a season or two ago :thumbs:) and honestly, it's not usually worth picking and choosing parts vs just...
So long as the frame/cabinet is in good shape, that's an awesome score! Looks like they took care of it and scrubbed it down periodically....
For sure, they do not manufacture or market tools to customers where price is a top 3 consideration.
I loved the 460. Built a couple for personal use, have fixed and sold (both used and new) dozens. Think of the 044/MS440 as the small-block...
MS441 doesn't belong to the 044 family. Not even the 1128 family. (044/MS440/046/MS460) Completely it's own animal. Stihl never built another...
Just getting both lower pins aligned is more fun than many owners signed up for. Rotary cutters are some of the most difficult of the common...
Is that to run without the loader on and not having to install a weight bracket?
I'm not sure I want to get after 7-8" stems with a rotary cutter. :bug: 4" maybe, bigger than that and the chainsaw (or a mulcher) looks like a...
:rofl: :lol::dex:
Another "value add" for the FSA 80 R over the FSA 57 and FSA 60 is the Stihl AutoCut 26-2 head. Same head that's used on all of the professional...
That only seems to work when you don't demand the tools be top-tier for performance or stay away from the big-boy stuff altogether. They know...
Just pitching an alternative. This might be a little easier on the gearbox if the heavy stuff is pretty minimal. But the brush in the pictures...
Milwaukee's stubborn strategy of remaining exclusively with 18V (and 12V) batteries has hobbled them a bit, especially for tools that have a high...
One pack is only 18V and to compete with 36, 56/60, or 80V tools, there's gonna be some serious amps involved which means heavier conductors in...
Both to buy and to run/maintain. But if the terrain isn't too awful (rocks, stumps etc.) and maneuverability/quality of cut are significant...
Decoding Stihl model numbers: FS = Handheld Trimmer/Brush Cutter xxx = Model number (no suffix) = Bike Handles, which are considered the...
Wouldn't Crossbow smoke 'em pretty easily? Especially spiked with some glyphosate. Yeah, it's 2,4-D (and triclopyr, which is the real magic) but...
Unless the difference in distance from the crank center to the chain tensioner is drastically different, it should work fine. It's a lot to go...
