DHT tool sent 2 new ones which were better then the first one. I was very happy how responsive to fix issue. Issue 2: after getting the new pins...

    Want to Buy Stihl MS361

    Would like to get a Stihl MS361 running or non-running saw. This is for getting firewood in MN (hardwoods) If non running would be a good candidate for a rebuild. Please share what you are willing to part with reasonably.

    Stihl 026 refresh ?

    Great info so far. I really do think this saw is worth refreshing. Like I said it ran great and cut great for a 10lb saw. Son absolutely loves this saw. Right now I do NOT want to pull the cylinder, but want to reseal the engine. Are the chance low that the head gasket is leaking ??? It has...

    22 ton DHT vs. 27 ton DHT?

    Some Menards are clearance selling off the 27 ton DHT for $899.00 straight up. Do a search if you live in the Midwest and you may find one at a Menards not to far from you. I found this out inquiring on one in CL that a guy is trying to sell for $1100.00. He let me know he got it at Menards...

    22 ton DHT vs. 27 ton DHT?

    I opted for the 27 ton given the price on the 27 ton was actually 4100 cheaper then the 22 ton. Figure the extra tonnage would be handy on harder splits and plan to run 4 way wedge. I split for my own firewood not for business.

    Planning to build log splitter on a shoesting budget

    Many thanks gulity1 that will be a huge help. I am still in planning but want to run as big as practical to stop bottle necks. My cylinder appears to have 3/4" and the valve I plan on has 3/4 connectors. Pump I think has 1/2" out and 1". It would be wise to run big hose to not impede flow...

    Planning to build log splitter on a shoesting budget

    Thanks for the replies and great input. If I ever wanted to add a lift table would I have to go with a different valve to run the hydralics. The lift table would be a great add on later.
