    Is this oak going to make it?

    It was done the same day. I watched them dig it out of the ground because I picked it out. I was actually done on Sept 2nd, my mistake. The leaves still have some green to them and they aren't brittle. I covered the drip line in 2 in of mulch and water it twice a week.

    At WOT my RPM's are 12,500. I went to my Home Depot and the tool rental shop put it on the tach. The thing runs sweet and sounds great.

    Is this oak going to make it?

    I will leave the tree in and see what happens. I will buy some root stimulator tomorrow and give it a shot. Everything I have looked up on oaks say it is a hard tree to transplant so I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the advice

    Is this oak going to make it?

    Well it has gone into a major shock. All the leaves fell off of it since Sunday. The leaves were green when they fell off. I talked to a local arboretum and they said the tree is more than likely doomed. I think I am better off buying a tree or starting over from an Acorn. I know the...

    Is this oak going to make it?

    I moved a 5' swamp white oak to the front yard of my house that was pretty well established. When it was dug out of the ground the tap root got cut to about 1 foot, it was previously 4 feet long. Will the tap root grow or should I just throw the tree away?

    Max RPM set on 029

    I muffler modded mine also. I dialed it in to sound as best I could and then took it over to the local Home depot and borrowed their tach. I dialed it in to 2800 on the low idle and 13000 WOT. The plug is not wet and is a nice tan color. It starts on the 2nd pull when cold. A much better running...

    029/290 muff mod - found the sweetspot

    LazyJ, I took the saw over to the shop to see what type of RPM's it was turning. Idle was 3000 at WOT it was 13000 and some small change. I took it today and ran through some hickory with no problems. The saw is running great, but maybe a little more fuel will really help. Thanks for the...

    029/290 muff mod - found the sweetspot

    Here is the 5/16" in the muffler I drilled 3-1/8" holes in the cover Is this to mild to do have any real gains? Like I said, the H and L were turned all the way counterclockwise and it runs, I just don't know the RPMs. The La was adjusted to make it idle better. I want to do this...

    What tree to plant??

    Well we choose a spot in the front yard so the kids don't run it over in the back. He acorns we planted in the pot had already started a tap root. The girls planted about 10 acorns, so now we are off to the slow grow races. We didn't plant the black walnuts, non of them sank. We covered them...

    029/290 muff mod - found the sweetspot

    So I modded the 029 super muffler the way LazyJ has done and I also drilled 3- 1/8" holes in the cover just below the exhaust port so it wouldn't bottle neck the gases. I turned the saws H&L screws counterclockwise to start and tune, but it seems to be running fine. IS this normal?? I haven't...

    How long does Safety Chain stay sharp??

    RMS, The rotten end was cut first, that is probably what did it. The chain was brand new when I started, so I guess I'll get it sharpened.

    How long does Safety Chain stay sharp??

    So I have access to a large Maple roughly 24". I cut 5 rounds approximately 18". On the last round the chain seemed like it didn't want to cut. I was able to finish it with the 180. The chain is .325 stihl safety chain for a 20" bar. The question is how long is chain supposed to last before...

    Woodyman That's me. After talking to the jerk with the 064 and the guy with the 036 wouldn't budge I went with the overall advice from the members. It runs fine and is a nice saw for my needs.:cheers:
