    Stihl 240 vs Dolmar 4510

    Bought the Stihl 240 per the recommendation of one of the mechs at the dealer. Gonna try it out this evening.

    Thanks. I wouldn't mind a Husky except the only dealer close by is TSC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stihl 240 vs Dolmar 4510

    Looking for a string trimmer / brush cutter. Will be used mostly for heavy and tall grass such as orchard grass, fescue, weeds, etc, and about a third of the time for cutting roses and autumn olive brush with a blade. I also have a Homelite Machete blade that I bought years ago that would get...

    Flat plate heat exchanger domestic water

    This is a holding tank for a well...with an egg head shadow on it. It will act as an expansion tank. If you have public water, then you SHOULD have a check valve on your system where it comes in your house. In this case, you really need an expansion tank.

    If you have a well, your holding tank should act as an expansion tank, otherwise, I would highly recommend one.

    Did Stihl change their bar oil?

    I've been using Dohlmar oil. Seems to be as sticky/stringy as the old Stihl oil and is a hair cheaper. I may give the Platinum oil a shot just to see the difference. Like someone else stated, for all the more you use, why go cheap? If I spent $60/year on bar oil, that's less than $2/cord. I can...

    found a couple bullets in a tree

    Cool thread. The only thing I ever find in my firewood are fence staples and barb wire lol. Oh and I cut a maple in my yard that I found concrete in.

    Dead Locust

    Yep, the ol' wood roaches. Them, carpenter ants, and termites are some of the reasons I went with an OWB. I'm like you. I leave it standing until I need some dry, seasoned wood. Can't beat it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spikey shrub with yellow wood

    I'm polluted with Autumn Olive. I thought the thorns were new growth that was sharp like a Hawthorn and as it grew the sharpness went away. I don't know, but I do know the little boogers hurt. Never tried the berries for jelly. Might have to do that next year. The bloom in the spring has a...

    Spikey shrub with yellow wood

    Fire bush or Burning Bush for sure. Not Autumn Olive or pokeweed. I have the stinkin' stuff all over my farm. Seems the previous owner liked it as a shrub. Now it's on the fence lines and spreading across the pasture. 2-4D won't kill it and neither will Round Up. I'm gonna try triclopyr next...

    The wood is definitely primo stuff for sure.

    Noodles anyone?

    Noodles work great in my stock trailer. I usually keep a 55 gal drum or two full for that reason.

    What do you do with old chains?

    Was going to say the same thing. They make a rather interesting looking Damascus.

    Forced draft owb

    Don't know about the Heatmore, but I had a Taylor at our old house and now have a CB Classic 6048. My Taylor had an adjustable cover on the intake of the blower. I didn't see much difference, if any, with any adjustment of it. The thing I did not like about the forced draft models is; the do get...

    Wood that smells like weed??

    Me either. Never been to any concert...or smoked weed. Never wanted to spend my money on either.

    Anyone still running xl12's?

    Cut my teeth on a blue Super XL. They do cut good. The downside is when you shut the saw off your hands keep running. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    034 went belly up. Got questions

    If you look closely above the exhaust port, there are some slight visible marks. I used emery cloth.
