Weird weather year in Wisconsin. My supply dealer in Elmwood (Woods maple syrup supply) start tapping in December every year because they run like 23k taps and it takes a long time to get them all in. This year they made syrup right around Christmas. Now with this weather they're collecting and...

Afternoon fellas. I recently met a guy who's been helping me deal with my EAB situation. Nice guy and he's got a couple echo saws he's been running, but he's got trouble keeping his fingers warm. I'd like to find a heated 50-60cc saw on a budget. I don't think he's got a ton of cash, so I'm...

I get a message about turning off my adblocker. It says gold members don't get that message. I am a gold member. Any ideas?

I just wanted to give a shout out to a man I've had the chance to spend some time on the phone with recently. Kenny is the man behind Ken's Bolt-on Hooks. They make and sell a number of tractor accessories, namely chain hooks that mount to your tractor loader bucket with or without welding...

Afternoon Gents, I have a Prince Auto-Cycle valve on my log-splitter. The issue I'm having recently is that the handle for the forward stroke doesn't want to move freely. It will reach the end of the stroke and then it tries to kick back to neutral, but because it is a little stiff it just...

Testing the waters here. I received a box of chain that I didn't order as part of a recent delivery. Rather than ship it back I figured I'd see if there's any interest. I have 100' of it, and I'd be happy to keep half or so. Thinking I'd see if any of you jokers want a 25' roll or loops made...

Evening gentlemen, I've been thinking lately about adding a couple handguns to my modest firearms selection. At this point I'm pretty much only considering revolvers. Thinking a pocket carry gun in .38 and a bigger model in .357. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Kinda thinking ruger LCRx and a...

So, I'm still following the barbecue rabbit hole, so of course I need a good cooler for resting butts, briskets, etc. I started doing research on rotomolded coolers, like those made popular by Yeti. Long story short there's about 15 companies selling these things. Pros and cons to all of them...

Here's a thread to talk about and show pictures of our 2020 syrup season. Hope everyone has a great year!!

So, back when Left Coast Supply was selling off GB stuff on the cheap I bought a couple 16" .063 bars in d025. I also stumbled on some good deals on RSC in that gauge, so I have about a dozen loops of chain, maybe more. I ran that setup a fair amount on my ported 261 for the last couple years...

I bought this saw 3 years ago. Ran it stock for a year then sent it to Scott. Selling because I'm switching flavors. Replaced this one with a 346xpg. I've got a bunch of saws on that platform, so I figured I'd consolidate a little bit. Saw runs great. I recently swapped out the decomp for the...

Sorry, I'm just gonna post a link. Camera quit working on my phone, so I had to put to the post on a different device. Don't have my ope login stored on that one, blah blah blah. Anyway, here she be: https://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/stihl-011-clean.339262/

So, I'm looking for a set of dual spikes for a 440. Don't want them real big though. Will be used felling and bucking hardwood. Is there a good aftermarket option? How about a Stihl part number? Again, don't want the big crazy 661 spikes.

I have a ported saw that kicks a little too frequently. I think it'd be fine if the hole in the decomp was increased to better match in increased compression. But, my smallest drill bit handy is 1/16. I could try to turn it down a hair with some sandpaper, maybe. Is that too big? Saw is 50cc. It...

Looking for one in nice shape. Doesn't have to be minty, but decent looking would be nice. Would consider a 2153wh also. Cash or trade towards my heated tree monkey 261. Thanks

So, I'm finally ready to have the slab poured in an addition I'm putting on an existing pole barn on our property. Only problem is that the weather is unseasonably brisk. I hopefully have a guy lined up to pour the slab next monday when the high temp is 41. The low Sunday night is 31. He's...

So, I've never spent much time around quads, but now my wife says we might need one for moving a mobile pig hut she's planning. And well, you know, if the wife says buy a 4-wheeler, you'd better jump at the opportunity before she changes her mind. :) Anyway, since I've got zero experience with...

Anyone seen these? I've been thinking of buying a grinder recently and stated looking at what was available. The tecomec jolly star looked pretty good for around $300, but then I saw a super jolly for $270 from Maverick Mower parts. The word tecomec wasn't on the page though, only Stens. So I...

We do a fair amount of mowing on the 20 acres my dad owns and the adjoining 20 my wife and I just bought. We've been using a 42" Craftsman with a 15.5hp Kohler for years. It did a fine job, but I'm kinda tired of putzing with it. Recently it stopped running and I'm considering a replacement...

Well, I do really like this saw, but my old truck just isn't doing what I want it to, so I'd like to bring home a slightly less old truck. This is a saw that Scott Kunz built and ported. Here's the original for sale...
