I have a pellet stove, but my parents & aunt and uncle burn firewood. I cut rounds/short logs in the fall & spring (I cut mostly dead standing & blowdowns) & pile it in my designated splitting area. I split during late spring/early summer before it gets too hot. once split it gets stacked...

sorry to had to venture down my way, lol. did you go to the Outlet's or just hang around in town?

I have one from Red Beards & one from Saw Suppliers, fitment is great for both. I always worry about losing the damn things though. you'll have to drill the bar tensioner holes to a larger size and elongate the stud slot to run a stihl bar on a husq.

On today's episode of "my leaf blower ran last year", featuring a Husqvarna 125BV. So after a cleaning, new fuel line, filter & carb kit, all is well. same guy also dropped off a Stihl BG66 to go through. it got the same treatment & a mud dobber nest removed from the muffler outlet.

I use motoseal for base gasket delete

I don't mind the heat, humidity kicks my ass. the cool mornings are the best time to do outside work.

probably why I enjoy mowing grass for hours lol or maybe its the diesel fumes rotting my brain...

they can be hit or miss. I go thru them when they arrive, clean everything & make sure the needle height is adjusted right. I've had good luck since I started doing that.

personally I prefer Kohler over anything else. I absolutely loathe B&S engines & have only messed with a handful of Kawi engines (mostly maintenance & carb repair)

I try to do as much of my own work as I can, esp with Toyota (I have a '13 Tacoma). buying OEM parts from the mothership is bad enough.

just finished setting up this casing & about to chew on it for a while. 6hr cycle time on this op. it weighs ~1700lbs, for reference the chuck is 63"

I use sports tape & black vet-wrap, its comfortable but the vet wrap doesn't hold up very long.

I avoid the turnpike completely unless I absolutely have to use it.

they were busy as hell when I got there around 2pm. I'd never been there before but they are a great place to deal with. I talked to Parker, younger guy but real down to earth & a great help. Check out their website & write down the Stock # of the trailer(s) you're interested in to help them...

Friday's purchase. I've outgrown my 7x12 landscape trailer so I bought a 7x18 7K car hauler. 2024 AMO for less than $3900 on the road from Best Choice in Carlisle. It weighs around 1600 lbs & when mother nature turns the furnace down I'll load my 955 on it & see how well it pulls.
