I love my 261. Stock? It'll run a 20" but I wouldn't set it up that way by default. I really like the 16" setups I have for it. And if you...
I think it was just a thing Stihl did perhaps to visually distinguish the master controls lever from any other knobs/caps on the saw. Was on a...
034 was my first Stihl - that I owned. Started out as a ball of dirt and ended up being a pretty decent firewood saw. We've far eclipsed them...
They aren't the only transverse V6's that are a PITA, many are. But Toyota is notorious for the intake design on their transverse V6's and it...
Demand will have to slow first. Right now, everything is backlogged, selling at a premium, and the manufacturers are low-key loving it. Nobody...
Stihl uses 3 mounts, designated by the first four of the bar part number. From largest to smallest - 3002, 3003, & 3005. Stihl tends not to list...
Graphite is a poor lubricant in the absence of air/gas. Not supposed to be much in the way of air in your motor oil. Molybdenum disulfide...
If it's just the spark plug hole bunged up, I'd go for a sleeve-style spark plug thread repair kit. Nothing runs better than the OEM cylinder -...
Around here, I'm pretty sure USC and Clemson actually sponsor custom vehicle wraps. :rofl: :lol::dex:
The gyro forces from swinging around a centrifugal blower that large on a stand-on terrify me. We had some big PTO blowers on the golf course but...
Ain't that the truth. I knew somebody would mention the Dolmar 4-strokes. Def NOT junk there. Re: the Robin/Subaru engines - I'm still bummed...
One reason small walk-behinds fell out of favor with homeowners was the seasonal use pattern. They'd use the machine for 1-2 weeks, put it away,...
Tends to happen to most anything that spends a lot of time around a Husky..... :whistle::p
Or costing a lot less to manufacture...
My vote is 261CM, for the long road. It's almost like someone told Stihl they COULDN'T screw that one up. (or else....) Mine is ported though,...
It really is too bad that Makita has put all the nails in Dolmar's coffin. Still a Makita power tool fan though.
No biggie on a thread derail. I can always split it off into it's own thread if necessary. :salute: This is going to sound silly on a leaf...
Some of the cordless electric options are incredible if you don't need more than 15-20 mins of continuous runtime and don't mind the cost. Much...
There were issues with the very early units and the fuel line design. They literally were running out of fuel, especially if they had less than...
There are more powerful blowers these days but I'm not sure the return on investment is there for a homeowner, even one with demanding cleanup...
