No time, no money, and I’d rather have a 372 than a 572 but that sure is tempting — Sioux Falls is not that far from me. Probably sold already.
This is the first time I’ve been able to get on in several days. If it makes anyone feel better a forum I frequent has had problems loading and...
No milling. I run 20:1 because I have seen what happens when 2 strokes don’t get enough oil. I have never seen a problem running 20:1. No plug...
I store my saws in a state of readiness. Full oil and fuel, chain sharp and tensioned. Never had a problem with that. E10 gasoline and 20:1 oil.
Me.
We had some idea how to price the work going into it and we have worked together in the past so coming to an agreement on project costs isn’t new....
Stump grinding not included in my price. 50 man hours; 9 hours of myself plus 2 people, 23 of hours just myself. Neighbor is short of help so I...
And a picture of a load of limbs. Firewood yield out of these trees was poor but much of it will be nice rounds. Probably about 8 loads like...
Picture, or it didn’t happen, right? This was the brush pile of about half the trees, taken from a dirt pile about 20 feet high. [ATTACH]
Just finished removing 79 green ash trees at a neighboring farm, dead from EAB. I cut them down, got them to an area where we could safely burn...
Husqvarna 372 to go with my two 450s. It would get a 24” bar and be reserved for felling and bucking where the 18” bars on the 450s are too...
Replacing the handle on the neighbor’s Stihl MS180. Made the mistake of removing the handle grommets from the motor side and got a hard lesson on...
A while back I mentioned on a different forum that I would like to find a second Husqvarna 450. Recently a local guy posted that he had been given...
It’s a head scratcher to me that wood can lose energy by being over dry. I learned that wood burning is a 3 stage process: 1) moisture is driven...
I’ve seen some of that stringy elm around here too. That stuff would best be reduced to stove size with a sharp sawmill.
Interesting! I have been wondering about the wisdom of using a mill to reduce some of the logs I have to firewood. We tend have gnarly trees in...
I use two different grease products. A calcium sulfonate/moly product for slow moving high load points like loader pins or front axle pivots and a...
Sometime plug performance comes down to the particular application. I had zero success with NGK plugs in the Honda 200 ATVs. They ran a little...
As mentioned they degrade in constant sunlight. Can’t say they get all that brittle in cold. They’re pretty tough plastic. They aren’t as...
Agree with the poster that says wood pallets rot fast. Possibly plastic pallets could be incorporated into the design? But they have their own...
