Thanks, Edge. That makes sense. It explains why a slow pull can start the engine.

My Echo CS-400 has what is called the i30 Starting System. I have not been able to find any technical description anywhere as to what exactly this is. I don't know if it is an automatic compression release, or automatic ignition timing retarding, or what, but whatever it is, it works. It pulls...

I have been using a CS-400 for about a year now. Before I even tried to start it, I removed the limiter caps and I think that was a good move because it runs great. I did not perform a muffler mod, but may do that at some future time if I feel the need. What I especially like about this saw is...

I don't think you need springs on a trailer that is intended for hauling firewood out of the woods. In fact, I think you are better off without springs. A trailer with solid suspension won't squat down when loaded. If you have some long stuff sticking out the back, a high-riding trailer is more...

I can understand you guys' feelings, but this tree is very old and on the downhill slide. It actually doesn't look too bad from the angle shown in the picture, but it is very crooked and has dead limbs. Other oaks of similar age have blown down and are dangerous to clean up so I might as well...

This is an old Red Oak that measures about 30 inches dia at the base. I have pondered what to do with this tree over the years and finally decided that it should go. It is old and mis-shapen but is alive and contains lots of good wood. I don't think it is hollow because I have taken down similar...

I always wondered how a forest was different from a farm crop. They both are born, live, and are harvested. The forest just takes longer. Nobody ever seems to cry for the farm crop.

Here's my Farmall 806. This is a 90 hp tractor that was built in 1963. You could get it in either gas or diesel and with wide or narrow front. Does the one you are looking at look anything like this? Does yours look newer or older?

The hydraulics in a log splitter are a low-flow, high pressure application. Because of that, the size of the pipes is not very important. I would suggest 1/2 inch dia. The important thing will be that your pipes and fittings are rated for the level of pressure that your system can generate. Use...

I have read lots of good advice here. Last summer I also wanted a small trailer to pull behind my ATV for the purpose of gathering wood. I didn't want to spend a lot either. I ended up buying a small, used highway traler for $50. The frame was bolted construction, so I took it apart and narrowed...
