Tractor Supply has bar oil in stock (in my city store) it is $9.99 per gallon on sale. Muskogee, OK.

I have a MS 260 Pro and I use mostly a 16" bar but I do have an 18" if I need to go a little longer. I use .325 chain with a 63 gauge bar. I also use the 7 point sprocket. I also have done the muffler mod and am glad I did this mod. I recommend this set up.

Just now ran into your reply and Thank you. The last 5-years have been pretty rough but I am still hanging in there. Prostate surgery, colon surgery, hernia surgery, heart bypass surgery and diabetes. Oh well anyhow I don't like the vertical mode - too much stooping over involved. I've got...

Has anyone made a screw wheel similar to the one which Gorillabac uses? I haven't found an eye screw that has threads which easily turns into the wood like the one Gorillabac uses in its demonstration. I have been using either tongs or eye screws with a hoist to lift heavy logs onto my...

A neighbor had an old cottonwood cut up by a tree crew. They took it down and left the trunk standing. That old tree must have been at least a hundred years old. The trunk is still there - just guessing I'd say its about 30". Anyhow I was given all that wood which was 7-pickup loads and...

Good luck with that big ole elm. Talk about wood burnin' - it all will burn and put out heat but some wood does it a little better. I was out splitting some pecan today. I was in a tee shirt. It was 77 degrees a while ago around 1:30 pm. We've been having weather that ain't like winter at all.

I know this is an old thread (2010) but I am still burning a lot of elm. I have no problem splitting it. Well elm doesnt really split it has to be torn apart and my splitter handles it quite well. Once seasoned it puts out plenty of good warm heat in my stove.

cus-deluxe is right. Chain gauge and bar gauge must match - the sprocket only needs to match the pitch of the chain (3/8").

I have several types of sharpeners including both the Timberline and the Granberg G1012XT and I prefer the Granberg.

Old enough to join the Navy in 1958.

I use generic Glyphosate 41% bought at Tractor Supply. It has a surfactifant added in the mixture but I usually add one half ounce of Dawn per gallon of water. The recommended amount of Glyphosate is 3oz. per gallon water on heavy growth and only 1-1/2 oz. per gallon on newer growth. I've...

I like them and do not regret buying them. They give a good looking cut.

Bailey's out in California sometimes runs a special on mower blades. I've bought blades from them before, both the regular blades for a Cub Cadet Tank and Gator Blades.

I use an angle grinder with a 60 grit flap disk to sharpen my blades (3 of them) and I do balance them afterwards. As far as mowing my lawn (1-1/4 acres) I like mowing as well as I like cutting and splitting firewood. It sure gives me something to do in the off burning season.

Built one today - first time ever in May. Cold front came in last night and it went down in the 40's. Supposed to get down there again tonight.

I have one too. The first time you sharpen any chain will be harder on the carbide so really pay attention to the enclosed instructions. I suggest you count the turns you take on each tooth.

Yes I do.

I was just curious about that Atwood ad. We have a Stihl dealer right here in town.

Is your front door in line with the face of your stove ? If it is do not stand between the two of them for over 10 seconds at a time. If they are not in line with each other don't stand in front of either of them for over 22 seconds at a time. I wouldn't sit down in front of either of them...

There was a sales paper in this mornings newspaper for Atwood's at Checotah, Oklahoma. I've never seen any Stihl products advertised at a box store before and it certainly got my attention. They showed a MS 170 and a MS 250 (not the newer 251) and some trimmers. I'm wondering if Stihl is...
