    Arians 27 Ton splitter problems

    I got my Ariens 27t in August of 2013. Put an hour meter on it during the second (?) season and it's now showing 255 hrs. No problems at all until last week. I got careless and had not changed the engine oil for quite a while, and couldn't get it restarted when hot. Changed oil to Mobil-One...

    Vermont castings fireplace insert

    I have a Vermont Castings Merrimack insert, a very similar unit; cast iron, blower and a 3 cf firebox. The Merrimack as two doors however. I have a 6" stainless liner, and burn it virtually 24/7 from November to March with no problems. We don't use it with the doors open, which if I understand...

    Got me a wood thief

    Just an FYI and hopefully possibly clarify what the Sheriffs position was - AND I DO NOT KNOW THE LAW IN THAT STATE; Understanding How Value Can Impact the Degree of Theft Crime Charges The value of the item stolen in a theft crime has a substantial impact upon the charge. Under New Jersey law...

    Insert options (VC Merrimack, alternatives?)

    I've had the VC Merrimack since October 2015. The wife wanted it because of the way it looked, plain and simple. She loved the fireplace, but we could never use it in the dead of winter. And I was getting tired of feeding a Tasso wood fired boiler - located in the basement - every 4 hours. We...

    yard max splitters

    I think they are all made by MTD, which puts out many under different brands. Not too sure, tho. I have an Ariens.

    Get well soon Brad Snelling

    Prayers and good thoughts from the "hills" of North Jersey. I've picked up a lot of knowledge from reading your posts and watching your vids, but.... an electric scooter in Costco??? Really?? :dizzy:

    "You Suck" Thread 2016--Pics required!

    I really do believe that everything happens for a reason. When my friend delivered the trailer the next morning, he saw the expression on my face and asked me what was wrong. I told him I expected to see a POS, ready for the grave trailer, not one in this fine shape. He said he decided to buy a...

    "You Suck" Thread 2016--Pics required!

    Went to a friend to inquire if he would rent my neighbor and I a low boy construction trailer as we had to move an 8,500 lb steel beam from my house to his place just around the corner. He told me he had an old trailer he was going to trash, we could use it for free. When he dropped it off I was...

    fuel mix

    I think it works out to just about 40:1, 'cause I do the same! With the current price of 93 Premium at a local Speedway station (separate hose each grade), I put a 2.6 oz bottle of oil and ask for 2.00 worth of gas. Comes out to .8xxxx gals, and it works fine!

    Anybody collect anything besides chainsaws?

    Used to buy guitars... Martin acoustics mostly, but at 67, a rock and roll career probably ain't gonna happen, so I'm thinning the herd...

    Bailey's has had a data/security breach. Update!

    I think the "window" is more than they thought; I didn't buy anything in the time frame mentioned, but did buy stuff last year. I got notified last Sunday by my banks fraud division, during the blizzard, that $700 in "questionable" charges had been made - one to Target and another to a bit-coin...

    Vermont castings merrimack

    I know this is a somewhat dated thread, but I just had a Merrimack installed in October and I have no complaints so far. We got ours because the wife liked the looks, and a neighbor has been burning one for a few years and loves hers. Mine will put out good heat for 6 hours, and keeps this 60...

    I felt the same way, and I don't think we were mistaken. For what it is, I think it was a good deal. Enjoy...

    Stihl MS250 Promotion

    Thanks all for the input / information about this saw. Special thanks to Jim @Chainsaw10. I visited his place on the way to my dealer, saw his saws and listened to his take on the 250. He had four there, along with an assortment of other Stihl machines. The 250's are used the most, and have been...
