    Log splitter kinetic or hydraulic??

    Why is that? i assume its harder in cylinder because of pressure to move to the side. wouldn't the wedge have to be on the cylinder if the splitter can be used vertical?

    I checked on that. That is a new one not the demo you would get.

    Log splitter kinetic or hydraulic??

    My brother and uncle have their own log splitters at their house but this one would be at the farm we all hunt where most of the splitting happens. My brother and uncle heat their houses with wood. We heat our hunting cabin with wood and I burn a couple two tree chords in the fireplace at my...

    Almost died

    Thanks for sharing. I am not a professional tree person but use a chainsaw regularly both on ground and in tree and this is a great reminder of how dangerous they are. Especially when in a hurry or tired. Glad you are on the mend.

    Jipped on new MS 362??

    Yeah - When I go to my dealer the sales guy knows everything there is to know about saws and tries to explain all the differences. They also have last years models clearly marked and discounted if they have them on the shelf. IMO they should have told you the saw was last years model. But...

    Jipped on new MS 362??

    Did the dealer not have the MS362CM on display? From what I understand Stihl doesnt make the MS362, just the MS362CM. Seems the dealer should have been a little more informative about the different versions out but sounds like yours just wants to sell saws. Did you use the saw yet? You can...

    Hitch Climber? Or....?

    I am new to climbing trees. Just kind of doing it as a hobby. I have alot of trees around my house (some removals and some pruning) and also on my hunting land. I bought a Stihl 193t and just took down an elm. I have been using the dual rope with a simple prusik for my climb line along with...

    Stihl 193t - Tree Removal

    I am definitely going to open up the deflector. Just going to wait for warranty to expire in 3 months. What's the best chain to run on the 193t? it came with stihl safety chain-green. it was the only option for the 193t. when I bought the 362 my dealer asked which chain I wanted on it...

    Stihl 193t - Tree Removal

    The dealer did start and run the saw and it seemed fine. I am gonna run a few more tanks through it. I have about 5 through it now and at the end when I was cutting the tree it was not cutting out but it was obviously hot at that point. blsnelling had a 193T when they first came out and the...

    Stihl 193t - Tree Removal

    I used the 193t I bought a week ago to dismantle a medium size american elm (about 30" diameter stump and maybe 65' tall). I had only run two tanks of gas through the saw previously cutting up firewood so not broken in. I fired up the saw and let it warm up, shut it down and then climbed into...

    Oak Tree Removal In Exchange For The Wood?

    I have some acreage with trees and have had a logging company come out and take some trees down/away and they pay me $x for each tree they remove but that is totally different than a tree on a lot in the burbs. Alot of time they cant fell a large section because of the surrounding houses...

    Muffler mod 193t

    Sorry to hear about trouble. Call stihl customer service. They seem to work with people having trouble. Or ask your dealer to swap out saw. I plan to run this one hard for first three months.....;-)

    Muffler mod 193t

    I don't get special price. Dealer is one of largest stihl dealers in US. Not mom and pop shop that has 1 or 2 of each model. They have 10 of each. They sell husky and echo too but prices are good but not as good as stihl. For stihl they let you choose any bar/chain for same price within the...

    Muffler mod 193t

    Thanks for link. That's interesting. I took mine apart and the muffler is wide open as well. Stihl must have changed the muffler. I guess I won't have to mod the muffler after all. I am a little confused. I thought the epa required the restricted muffler. Why would stihl put the little...

    Muffler mod 193t

    I saw the thread on bsnelling muffler moding the 193t. I just bought one and want to muffler mod when the warranty is up in 3 months. Can I just mod the muffler or do I have to advance timing and adjust carburetor?
