    Husqvarna 550xp mark 2 or Stihl ms261

    My MS260 is over 20 years old and still starts cold on the second pull (as it should). Never had an issue with the saw over the years but I did get a new bar and rim sprocket last year just to freshen it up. I only cut a couple of cords a year, but at this point, the saw owes me nothing.

    Skid Steer died, won't start 2022 svl 97 2

    I see the OP had the fuel tested, and it was not contaminated. I could be mistaken, but I believe one of the exclusions under KTAC insurance if damage caused by contaminated fuel

    My first tractor…?

    If a tracked machine gets stuck, a tractor or a ZT will get stuck. I would pick your neighbors brain to see what he has to say. People like to be asked for equipment advice. I can tell you that I used to cut an eight acre lawn at our previous home at least once a week with a ZT. I would not...

    My first tractor…?

    If you are only going to use the tractor to mow five acres, I would consider getting a zero turn instead. Much faster and more comfortable. If you have other uses for the tractor, then have at it.

    Spotted Lantern Fly

    We had them in south central Pa last year. They seem to like maple trees. We had a bunch of them on our trees, but I see no long term damage. Some people put lantern fly sticky tape around their tree trunks, but when birds got caught in the tape, some people abandoned the use. IMO, they were...

    Bankruptcy filings are in Federal Court. The referenced action is in Wake County, NC, a state court. Looks like the bank is seeking repayment and is using the proceedings to obtain an injunction to preserve assets.

    Considering a BX1880

    I do not keep my BX at my home, but two of my neighbors remove snow with their subcompact loaders. Driveways are about 200 feet long. I usually finish up a half hour before they do using a Honda snowblower and a cleaner driveway to boot. If I were putting something on my tractor to move snow, I...

    dealer prices ??

    Just went through the same experience with a front tire on a BX. Shale took its toll over six years. Called Messicks and the front tire and rim was right at $100 with tax. I did not realize the R4s were directional until the Messicks rep asked me what side I needed.
