I have a diesel car. A diesel truck. A diesel tractor. Wah on that idea. Where I live the non-ethanol pumps at Marathons is only for non-ethanol. ;-)

Chains can be sharpened. If you hit abrasive dirt a lot, cut into metal in a tree, or cut low on a tree that is growing near a gravel road, your chain sharpness will be adversely affected. That last example is proven when you are cutting at night (not recommended) and you see sparks flying...

How did the muffler look when you inspected it? Those spark arrestor screens get clogged up in many 2 cycle engines.

Years ago one of my welding friends recommended the Handlers. I have had a Handler 135 for 15 plus years. He also has Miller welders. The little Handler works running off my little Honda 5000 watt generator when I need to do field repairs. In the shop they do like having 12 gauge house or garage...

I have a Jameson pole with a saw head and a lopper head, Not sure that it works tons better than the cheaper chinese head I had first. OK, the Jameson lopper works better as it is a compound lopper. I see Fiskars has pole saws that are a bit less than a Jameson fiberglass setup.

Available from a few vendors. https://www.timberlinesharpener.com/

I have some orange .105 Stihl string soaked in water that worked well last weekend trimming wire fence line with my low horsepower FS66. Last year I could not get line to last on my other more powerful trimmer. I may have a bad head on that trimmer. Not sure what line gave me problems. Rocks are...

I have one of these. A DTI tachometer https://www.amickssuperstore.com/DTI_2_Cycle_Two_Stroke_Hand_Held_Tachometer_p/dti%20tech-tach%20tt-20k%20tach.htm

I had a leaner pine beetle pine to drop. I pulled field fence off wooden posts. Good call to pull the wire down and let gravity help with the chinaberry.

Specs say the 362 has 1 more horsepower and can run a 25" bar. What are you doing with the saw? Pro work, cutting hickory?

I heard so take that with a grain of salt. I heard that Texas is a Texas only power grid. They are not connected to other grids so they cannot buy power from Georgia Power or other providers that have excess capacity. The report also said the natural gas that feeds the steam plants that feeds...

Just a guy who owns some saws. I do not look to cut things down except when they are in the way of trails. I think I bought some 5/8" blue colored double braid bull rope from Baileysonline (forum sponsor) but I could not find a receipt. Last snag I pulled out using the bull rope tied to my 4,000...

I ordered one of the Grounds Keeper rakes. AM Leonard shipping was much lower. I do use a leaf blower but when you are in 6 month old pine straw hatch woven in to vines and muscadine vines and small branches I have to pull things out of the way with a rake. A bit less raking going from an Echo...

Maybe I need to consider that. I have always used a regular leaf rake for leaf and branch clearing. The stiff steel tines rakes are what I use to move dirt and gravel.

I do trail cleaning for mountain bike trails. It seems that I get a few days use before the cheap red steel tined rakes from Ace Hardware have taken on a new and not helpful shape. The chrome spring also has sprung. Seems I had some other rake with black tines that did not do so swell either...

My copper pipes were depositing green everywhere. Acid water from the well. I added a calcite bed to bump up the PH. One of my co-workers I think was on city water and had to replace all their copper plumbing.

The bucks may finish killing it this year. I see bark like this in the Georgia woods all the time. Those antlers are itchy in the summer. Or maybe not. https://www.fws.gov/midwest/news/8PointsOnAntlers.html

My little JD tractor curl function did not work well after 20 years. I replaced the seals on right cylinder which helped a bunch. Bucket still wandered/uncurled and worked sort of lumpy but a big improvement. 7 months later replaced the seals on the left side. Now no more droop/uncurling and no...

I am just a homeowner. I cut things on my 9 acres. I do trail work and cut things on trails. I had a little Sears/Poulan all metal saw with no chain brake. Used it a fair bit. Got mad when it refused to start. Didn't like no chain brake. I got Stihl MS210 11 years ago as a replacement. Never...

The Pferd guides are a bit less expensive than the Stihl guides if you think you want to try that route. https://www.baileysonline.com/pferd-chain-sharp-filing-guides-17048.html
