    How close can the driveway be to Oak tree?

    Thanks everyone for the advice. So far the heavies thing anywhere near the tree has been a mid-size skid loader. My plan is to use gravel (limestone) and curve the driveway as much around the oak as I can. It's hard to tell from looking at a flat photo but I have some wiggle room in...

    How close can the driveway be to Oak tree?

    I'm clearing a lot to build a house. The lot is mostly Maples with a few Red Oaks and the soil is brown clay. The Oak I'm concerned about is 26" dbh and stands about 90 ft. I know more is better but how far should the driveway be from the bottom of the tree? Also - the same tree has a...

    Found Stihl 034 av for sale

    Great Saw I have a few of them and I think they are a great saw for the money. If it were me, I would go look at it - no need to start it because you know the gas is bad. Pull the muffler and make sure the piston and cylinder are in perfect condition. If the piston and cylinder are in great...

    When to water -

    The soil is rock hard it is so dry. Dose the freezing temps make any difference for watering? The daytime temps are still getting above freezing but is is in the 20's at night.

    When to water -

    I live in Mn and this fall has hit the record books for least amount of rain from Sept to Dec in the past 140 years. Last August, I planted 12 or so small (18" tall ) white pines. They are in a place that has no access to a well so I had to truck water to them. I watered them a few times a...

    361 w/ a bad connecting rod bearing - why?

    My first guess was lube related but the more I thought about it, I figured the piston would be the weak link to no lube. And if I find a crank to put in it, I want to rule out any other culprits.

    361 w/ a bad connecting rod bearing - why?

    I stopped by the local dealer yesterday for some parts. In talking to the owner, I asked if he had any junk parts saws to get rid of and he let me pick through the pile. I found a 361 on the shelf. He couldn't remember what was wrong with it but he guessed it was seized. When I got it home...

    Does any of these saws have limited coils?

    Is the 361 limited or does it just sound that way because of the restricted muffler?

    Stihl 028 Carbvretor Settings?

    If it were mine, I would - Rebuild the carb ($7 to $10) - New fuel / impulse lines ($15 to $20 for both) - upgrade the coil as Fish is hinting to ($25 to $35) With a few $$ and help from this site, you could have a top quality back up saw that will last another life time...:)
