    Wtb tongs for pulling logs off pile

    I have a set that I bought from Northern tools, I cannot rember which set I bought for certain but they are large. They are the roughneck brand and I bought larger than I thought I really needed, I'm glad I did buy the larger size, I have used them pretty hard, I have exceeded the lift capacity...

    Help me pick out a trimmer

    I would recommend the Stihl kombi, I have a km90 and have never thought it lacked for power, used mainly as a trimmer for what you described you would use a trimmer for. Also have the pole saw attachment. Bought a generic hedge trimmer attachment that fit a Ryobi trimmer that my dad had and it...

    Stihl Kombi. Legit?

    I have had a KM90 for about 5 years, I bought it with the polesaw attachment and this past spring added the straight trimmer. This year my dealer adjusted the valves and about 2 weeks ago I replaced the carb and fuel filter. I have been very pleased with it and haven't found it lacking in power...

    Countyline 22 ton splitter

    I purchased the huskee 22 ton on 7/31/14 and it has a kohler on it. So far I have been very pleased with it, it cranks on the first pull most often and the splitter has grunted a few times but I haven't had anything yet that it couldn't split.

    Trying to decide on a 22 ton splitter

    I have a few more hours on mine now, I too like the kohler engine, I have noticed that occasionally when running mine it will stutter briefly, it is more of an annoyance than a problem, it does indeed start on the first pull most often, very pleased thus far. 1st oil change done and I also had...

    Tired of Dull Chains

    I use the stihl brand file holder and after much reading on this and a couple of other sites i can do a satisfactory job keeping my chains up. I was guilty of using a file for too long and not paying as much attention to detail as i should have. I also figured out that a feeler gauge and a...

    Large Popular removal

    Do you intend to be there when it is cut? If you are , take a paint brush and brush the stump with glyphosate 41% concentrate within about 15 minutes of it being cut. Or you can drill it like you had mentioned and use the concentrate in the holes, 3/4 to 1" holes angled down and 6-8" deep.

    Trying to decide on a 22 ton splitter

    I purchased a 22 ton huskee yesterday, I of course had to use it today just to satisfy myself that it was going to be worth the price. Split probably 1/2 a cord ( real cord). It was flawless. I split 3 pieces of white oak crotch that were cut last year and left at my neighbors because they would...
