    off topic...tractor recommendation

    Tractor Your budget of 3K to 5K I think will limit not only your choice but the probability of getting a tractor that may require some repairs and the attachments. You might want to check out the state ag bulletins, like Florida, Mississippi, and Georgia. Definitely get diesel, 4x4. Front end...

    Where did I go wrong?!?!

    Ebay Having sold on Ebay for a number of years and having sold a few items, my experience has been: 1. Good pictures are vital. 2. For every feature there should be a corresponding benefit. Ensure that your copy (text) has no mistakes. 3. Never used a reserve price successfully. Always...

    Saw for $350 budget

    Saw Budget $350 Sounds like what I was looking for - Under $350 and primary use was small trees and limbs. Gets a lot of use initially for 17 acres but no firewood as we have propane stove. I bought a Dolmar PS-401 with 16" bar, carry case, two chains, gallon of bar oil, and 6-pack of 2-stroke...

    Prayers wanted

    Get Well Sooner! Hope you're feeling better now. It's hard being sick when we all take our good health somewhat for granted. I know you're really ready to be healed and well but take your time. In other words, get well sooner!

    Dolmar Ps401 And Makita Dcs401 Owners

    Purchased my PS-401 about two/three weeks ago, Have been using it quite a bit around my 17 acres. While I do find oil at bottom of case, I do not find as much as your pictures seemed to show. Great little saw for the money. Easy to use and maintain. FWIW, it does seem to go thru quite a bit of...

    Stihl and John Deere!!!!

    Local Observations Recently had to locate parts for my 6' bush hog cutter. Went to the closest dealer, a Kubota dealership to check on part/price/availability. Clerk at parts counter wants to sell me $90 unit, only way to get that part. I tell him thanks, I'll think about it. The Kubota...

    New Dolmar PS-401

    The number of local independent servicing dealers for the major brands were actually pretty good. Stihl and Echo were the most plentiful, followed by Husky and Dolmar. Found only one RedMax.<br><br> Seemed like most servicing dealers were either low on Huskys or phasing out. Echo seemed to be...

    New Dolmar PS-401

    Thanks guys. Really looking forward to cleaning up mostly small scrub trees and overhanging branches around the property. I really looked for a good local servicing dealer. Was determined to find a small shop that I felt comfortable to service me after the purchase. While definitely not the...

    New Dolmar PS-401

    It's listed as an approved guide bar size in owners manual and when cuting wood it seems balanced. I'll see the dealer Monday, thanks for the info.

    New Dolmar PS-401

    After reading lots of posts concerning Stihl, Dolmar, Echo, and RedMax, I went out this afternoon and purchased my first saw - a Dolmar PS-401 w/ 16" bar. Reading many posts, I located a nearby local dealer who showed me the chainsaw, added fuel and oil, took me outside and let me take a few...

    Need Advice

    Thanks for the welcome. Didn't realize NC had flat land. Used to visit Maggie Valley, Lake Junaluska, and Sliding Rock in NC a long time ago. Loved the mountains! If you got kids, visit Sliding Rock. Its a naturally formed rock slide into ice cold mountain water. We just moved from the...
