how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

Might not be the right place on the forum for this, but what the heck. Has anyone tried porting a grass trimmer? If so, how'd it go?
I'm using shindaiwa t230 trimmers and they do great, but I got to thinking the other day,"it sure would be nice to have a little more grunt in the same weight trimmer". So, what ya think? Worth trying or a waste of time.

I asked mastermind about it once he said it toasted the gear head.

Yeah, hadn't considered that. These have a good shaft assembly, steel shaft and good gearbox, but they're only made to take so much. If I do anything I'd better keep it on the mild side.

I forgot @Keith Gandy does some work on string trimmers too. Maybe he can give some insight on what they can take?

Hadnt push one to the limit but widened ex. , intake, and did a muffler mod on my fs250 and it made a difference. A simple MM on most of them makes a big difference seeing that alot of them have cats . A big drill bit helps thoso devils

Yeah, those cat mufflers are awful! What you said doing on the 250 is exactly what ive got in mind to do. Any gearbox problems from the extra power?

Morning everybody. Got some rain here last night. Not enough to do a lot of good, but enough to raise the humidity to the full sauna level once it starts heating up later.

Hi all

 

[teacherman]

Howdy gents.

Seven hours hitting it hard in the heat yesterday, it felt good. Today a ten mile bicycle ride with The Mighty Emerson. He loves to ride as fast as he can, for long g distances. What I really liked was when he went off the trail into a thistle ditch, and kept it all upright without falling over He cries a bit, then I tell him how proud I am he didn’t fall over. He then gets right back on and starts ripping it for all he’s worth. The youthful spirit is an awesome thing.
