So peaceful.

I like the 4.0 because it will rev! The 300 is done at 3k. Just won't pull after that.

Exactly. Nice little 6 the 4.0 is. There are some 5.0 stroker kits for them. They can be built pretty stout.

My neighbor has grass fed Angus. Don't know why my wife keeps going to town for grocery store stocked beef.
Ya could walk over and get Angus and back in under 10 mins.

I'd love to see the face of the farmer who checks his cows the next morning to find one missing a steak! (Imagine a cow standing there alive chewing grass but missing parts! Awe hell, it ain't funny having to explain it!)

I hear he has a pretty nice CP-70...

Lol that's the oldest boys now. Let him run it after his 10-10, and he had to have it.

Ya know, that might even be possible to do.
Ive seen a vet run the clippers down a cows side while she was in the head gate eating sweet feed. He then ran a scalpel down her side high up in the abdominal cavity about 6".
Opened it up, and reached his hand in and sorted around in there checking whatever it was he was looking for. Then stapled it back shut and sprayed with something.(maybe Betadine or blue lotion spray IDR).
Cow never stopped eating.
I'm guessing they dont feel pain quite the way I would have.
So if a fella knew what he was looking for, and was REAL careful, he might be able to get himself a steak or at least a fistfull of burger meat without the cow being any the wiser.

1010A, PM1010, or PM1010S?
Ive got a 1010A and a 1010S.
The Super is noticeably more gooder.

Only 5 1/2 acres here currently but plenty of gardening space.

Dammit Todd @Stihl working Hard , please pop over and tell the packaging dept at Archer to ease up on the edge sealer they use to package chains.
A fella was certain he was gonna need stitches before he got this thing open.
Seriously though, I'm gonna give this Archer chain a try on the McCinderblock. Gotta be better than the Carlton safety chain that was on it.
Have you tried their stuff?
Ive got the 20" Archer Pro Max bar on my 1010 Super with a Stihl Full chisel chain, and I like it so far. Maybe a bit heavy, but seems solidly made.

I’ve used their chains during the last hurricane clean up cutting dirty stuff and just putting the chains on the grinder. They held up to pretty well

PM10-10 nice saw got if from @Steve a couple years ago along with the cp-70. Also have a early right hand start 10-10a.

Afternoon steamy tractor fanciers.

Two Ws in the bag on the soccer front, and an iffy hamstring for me....

Here's my favourite tee at the moment...

No longer than it took to change into some bullshitt shorts and a t-shirt, it’s raining like a mf’r. So much for edging, weedeating, and mowing this evening. Slack mode now.

Like selecting the mower of the day doesn't take an hour or so ay Jase?
That one, nah, maybe that one. Oh, what about that one.....

Hows the stretch?
Hate it when a new chain stretches like a slinky first run. Old torque-forward saws seem to do that.

be ready for an invasion of “mini” trucks and “utes”

got a pretty cool steam tractor show near here in Mason MI. I try to go at least every other year.



been going every couple years since I was a kid. They have a little bit of everything in there including old tractors. You’d probably like it.

You said "utes". The mixing of culture over massive boundaries continues.

CP or SP 70?
CP has anti vibe and not quite as aggressive porting.
SP is bawls out ive heard.
Dont own either, just wondering.
Got my eye on a PM1010 with a Mac bow at the local shop.

My 288 stretches a 28" loop of LGX likes it elastic. Never had trouble with any other LGX tho. Maybe bad loop?

We've had some different terminology over the last 20 years or so, thats for sure.
Way back when I was a younger fella, it was a car, truck, or a Jeep.
There were always other variants of course. Had panel vans. Suburban was in that category.
Forgot about the "station wagon".
The "sport utility vehicle" replaced that.
Now a Jeep, Bronco, Scout etc is lumped right in with the station wagon. Bit different historically. Wouldnt usually see a station wagon out on the trails, as most lacked a front axle and any off- road capability. They were just passenger cars with a larger rear common area instead of a trunk.
The "crossover SUV" designation was another thing entirely. Now you have part car, part SUV, and none of it done well.
There are some capable exceptions to this.
Honda CRV and Ridgeline for example.
Some people here poke fun, but those lil bastids will go most anywhere, and might just drag a 3/4 ton diesel "douchemobile" behind them while doing it.
Seen more than one diesel "penis compensator" get dragged around by a Subaru with AWD.
