    Stihl MS 271

    You keep poulin and poulin and finally they start. Dont count out the Husky XP saws. I liked the 262xp I had for 20+ years and liked it better than my new MS362CM.

    Dealing with Frozen Sand

    I have a gravel driveway and don’t really care about melting ice. I don’t believe the grape juice helps with tire grip does it? Toss an electric blanket over the sand pile.

    HST Whine.....Gone.......!

    Really, there is no dishonesty here what so ever unless they ask you if you filled them with foam. Why would they, it should be a non issue. Does filling tires with calcium void the warranty? That’s true: it can rot the rims over time and cause a safety issue. I taught my children to make good...

    Rear Blades - Is Blade Tilt Important?

    I would consider number two being blade pitch controlled by the top link. My 7ft. blade has adjustable tilt but I find the options way to course because of the size of the pin required. I fine adjust tilt with one side***8217;s lifting arm***8217;s turnbuckle. I will have to try letting it...

    B9200 HST Fluid Leak at RH brake lever shaft.

    Thank you gentlemen, I knew I came to the right place. Should there even be oil in there? Inner seal?

    B9200 HST Fluid Leak at RH brake lever shaft.

    I have a leak at the shaft where it goes into the brake housing. My service manual is useless because it just explains how the brakes work with minimal diagrams and no repair instructions. Parts diagrams show no seal here. Are these dry brake shoes, if so, why is there oil? I'm at a loss...

    Sickle bar mower advice

    My initial findings of the DR trimmer are as follows: changing out the cords with the new drum is quick and easy. The DR 175 mil blue cord seems to hold up the best. Since I do not have a fence to trim around, the spring back action is not needed. So I removed the grease fitting on the wheel and...

    6 month free trial might be another option. Of course shipping to and from is not refunded: prolly $200.

    Sickle bar mower advice

    Instead of getting a sickle bar mower I’ve decided to give the DR 3 ph string mower a try. I figured it was about the same cost without the headaches associated with a sickle mower. I will leave my impressions here once the new mower is in motion. Thanks again for your inputs...

    Sickle bar mower advice

    Thanks guys for the great responses. Is there a brand and model that will work best for me and allow to find parts in the future should/when the need arises? I do not have remote hydraulics so a manual cutter would be it. I would like to install another rear circuit, but that’s another issue...

    Maybe an inch was a bit exaggerated, maybe half that. Just to keep trees from starting.

    Sickle bar mower advice

    I certainly appreciate your responses. The string idea won***8217;t work on the saplings that I***8217;d like to eliminate up to 1 inch. I found a 7 foot MF Sickle bar belt Drive for sale in VT. 3 hours away, but is it a viable solution? I am more than capable of dealing with the ideocyncracies...
