    Let's talk shoes

    I like Lawngrips. They are steel toe and have a steel arch which helps when digging. lightweight, comfy, and marketed to lawn care professionals. They are sold at Stihl dealers now and have a Stihl logo. Mine are older and without the logo…..

    Knife collection.

    Those look like Bark River knives. That’s one of my favorite makers.

    Knife collection.

    Here is a rare one that I have had for 40 years. BenchMark Rolox. You slide the blade out the front with your thumb.

    Knife collection.

    I must have close to 100 scattered around the house And lots of fixed blades. I see a couple of Microtechs in your drawer. Mine is a different color. I picked up a Kershaw Launch 11 auto last week. It’s at the bottom of the photo. Microtech OTF is above it and then 3 Ganzo knives which are...

    Cellular security camera / trail camera for weekend camp..?

    I have several Day 6 Plotwatcher cameras that I no longer use. I’m looking for something similar that is cell based. These are timelapse cameras that take a photo every second or so. They don’t use IR motion detection so mine easily covered a 20 acre field. Motion is detected by the software...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Made a couple of safety stops to keep my loader off the ground. 2 inch 1/4 wall aluminum channel 12 inches long. Must have taken close to 15 minutes to make them 😀t

    Husqvarna 550xp mark 2 or Stihl ms261

    I just bought a Stihl MS462 and went out of my way to avoid the m-tronic self tuning version. It probably works great until it doesn’t. Then you have no choice but to take to a dealer. When I need to adjust mine I just use a screwdriver. I went with Stihl over Husky simply because of dealers and...

    Zero Turn Blade Changing Ideas

    I just roll a floorjack under the front and lift it enough to get an impact wrench onto the bolts. Couple of minutes and i’m done…

    Trespass

    New York also allows signs which just say “Posted”. I think many states do. I have known what it meant since I was five years old and I live in Georgia. From the NY State Senate site: Signs shall bear a conspicuous statement which shall either (a) consist of the word "posted", or (b) warn...

    L2502 smoking on cold start

    No problems at all. I have been very happy with it. I will say it seems to have more power after the fix. Apparently removing the .20 shim advances the injection timing by 2 degrees. It has more time to burn fuel rather than spewing it out the pipe. Got it back from the dealer last week and used...

    L2502 smoking on cold start

    I agree. Apparently it varies in severity. Dealers, like the one i originally used, will tell you it is steam, water in the fuel, or to “let us know if it gets worse”. Even a “let us know if it does not get better” would be more comforting to hear. Personally, I did not want to run mine as they...
