Hey guys. What do you recommend for a compression tester that will give accurate readings on saws as well as a compression/vacuum tester?
What kind of snow chains are those?
I have a similar lawn tractor with the John Deere chains and they are frigging awful to deal with. Takes longer than swapping the mower and snowblower, and even so they never stay on right.
We've had a couple out breaks. Maybe 20 years ago and then again 6-7 years ago. Didn't hit our side of the mountain, but my neighbor said he had friends that found upward of 20 on their place, last time.As for the deer disease, the farm I hunt wasn’t effected, thank God, but one town over..... my pal found a whole herd dead in a pond. Seems they would go to the water trying to cool themselves down. Sad, I hope it was a one year thing around here!
doc I used to have..went to see him at the end of one day..still was breathing hard,,id just got done shoveling a 30 ft by 60 ft area...he asked me what id been doing,,i told him, he said you wanna die???? he said oxy in winter is lower, your bent over, decreasing air intake, and increasing load on back..at that time, there was a doctors survey said how many dided or a heart atack in winter... young and dumb, never thought of it, as it had to be shoveled...…...next day I bought a used ariens snow blower!!!!!!!!!Sorry to hear Matt, but the best way to prevent something like that from happening is to stay in shape year round so you don't get a heart attack from shoveling some snow.
I thought that oxygen was denser in cold air. But plenty of guys get heart attacks while shoveling snow. That's how I justified my first snow blower too.he said oxy in winter is lower
Yep!I think milling should be looked at as more of a hobby than a business if someone is going to drop $$$ into a band mill.
Sort of like some of us who (cough) have five digit investments into saws, splitters, trailers, skidding equipment, etc so we can save $1500 a year on heating costs.
What weight oil ya run in that thing Jere. Glad we haven't seen 10* this year so far.
you need a new seat,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,baaaaaaaaddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Our "Big Storm" didn't amount to much. About a foot of fluffy snow, a brisk NW wind and Temps in the single digits. Not even worth mentioning compared to past winters.View attachment 888131
He's not sitting on the metal...... YET!!you need a new seat,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,baaaaaaaaddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only got down to 14 here Jere. Was a great day for cutting and splitting. Hoping the guessers are wrong the rest of the week.Quoting again Mr. Steve - getting closer, this morning it was 12° with an 8° Real Feel when Scout and I set out to take our morning hike, interrupted by shoveling out this same log and the quarters awaiting splitting:

But, much nicer this afternoon after I pushed the edges of my driveway snow back again in prep for a couple inches a day for the rest of the week (according to the weather guessers). Closer to 30° Scout and I split those quarters, the Fiskars handles these nice red oak quarters like slicing grandma's pumpkin pie:

He was driving back from the hardware store to Mikey’s shop, pulled into the Walgreens parking lot, threw the truck in park and was dead.Sorry to hear Matt, but the best way to prevent something like that from happening is to stay in shape year round so you don't get a heart attack from shoveling some snow.
My great uncle was near to 90 when he passed away after shoveling the drive at his house in town. Lots of people said that he shouldn't have been doing that. My grandpa (his younger brother) vociferously argued that he needed to live his life and if that's what he wanted to do, then that *IS* what he should have been doing. He was successful farmer and probably in shape for much of his life (maybe just a little too fond of dinner), but not as much when he moved off the farm. Was he in shape to shovel at that point? Maybe not. But my grandpa's view seemed that was a much better way to go than in a hospital bed a year or two later. Or worse, even earlier from just sitting in his chair.Yea, but no use bringing it on sooner than you need to.
