    Hated to hit the like button on that one if you have a AG equipment dealer nearby check with them they make some stuff they put in the cabs of combines to keep the rodents out I forget what it is called I use nylon net wrap with moth balls seems to help although its tough to hold the moths still for the operation :rofl: :lol: good luck JB

    Had the same thing on the lawn mower many years ago.

    Not since we've moved here fortunately.

    Does this require tweezers or just really small rubber bands and time? Trying to understand the whole process. Seems like it could be a great idea, if a guy can come up with enough moths.

    I have had the best luck with the 1.50 wide 10 degree Bi-metal on my mill I have the 17 HP diesel on my lt35 and with the lower horsepower it pulls that blade real good through locust I have tried the 7degree turbo and the new 747 blades I just do not seem to have enough horsepower to pull them I also found that the 10 degree double hard blades cut well in the locust but I only get maybe 200 bd ft out of a blade where I get 500-600 easily out of the bi metal one other thing cutting locust if they have set around cut a inch off the end of the log to expose fresh yellow wood it makes the blade last a lot longer pm me if you want to talk about it JB
