So what did you buy today

[JimBear]

Those look cumbersome on steep terrain..

Fortunately it’s fairly flat around here…

I need to buy at least one of those.
Just bought 4 gal at TSC on sale for 10.99 each.
Mind if I ask what they run and where you get them.
I also filled the excursion twice this week already and the bigger Kubota and spent 200 .

MFA (Made for Agriculture ) They are based out of Columbia, MO. They are mainly in Missouri but have a few in North Eastern Arkansas, Southern Iowa.

The first barrel in the fall of 2020 was like $5.25 gallon: iirc, this stuff was $9.47 gallon. Ag tax exempt & delivered.

They have an oil sale spring & fall so there are discounts to be had at those times.

The tech in the oil lab said it has a 4-5 year shelf life before the tackifier may start to separate but a shake of the jug or mix of the barrel will mix it back up.

They only use virgin oil, no recycled stuff.

The tech at the lab said they could set me up with 275 gallon or 330 gallon totes and deliver with the tank wagon. I was intrigued but at over $10 gallon I lost interest. I was thinking $7-$8 gallon or less.


Menards had Poulan for $8+ gallon but it’s 150 mile round trip, there are taxes to be added on to that & I would of had to go out amongst the masses to purchase it, not that I am afraid to go out; I just don’t like to. Another bonus is this goes towards the year dividends on the account.

Here are the technical specs on the MFA, along with Stihl & Itasca for comparison.

Remember Tractor Supply price matches products. Find a sale on gallon jugs of bar oil and they will sell the County Line brand for that price. I have done it many times and will stop soon to grab a few more. A place called Blaines has it for $5.99 a gallon right now.

There are engines that run a lot on low oil pressure, especially those without a turbine

Thanks.
I guess the delivery part is nice, but its sure up there in price.
I'm gonna have to look around or just buy 4 at a time for now.

Now you tell me, after I pay 10.99 "on sale" at TSC. I even had to correct the price because it showed up at 11.99.
If they will price match, I'll buy a bunch for 5.99.

Thats the Husky death trap for the 357! Its the auto decomp idea that failed miserably. Notorious for air leaks and killing the saw. Someone should be along soon to tell you how to delete it and save the cylinder.

I think I have forgotten to put this up if it is a double post I apologise .
I bought myself a Tikka t3x Varmint 223 with a 1 in 8 twist for 75g 80g pills that other machine happens to be a Dickinson straight pull funny thing is I can have that with a 7 magazine capacity yet I can't have a pump action yes I know Australia is a mixed up *f-worded up pain in the ass country .

Here's a thread that should have all the info you need on the auto decomp. Also check the intake clamp and replace if it's the plastic clamp.

Just got this off leftbay...

Found this on the bay. 16" small mount in regular 3/8 (not lp) is kind of hard to come by. I love these size bars for my 50cc saws. Under $40 so I had to do it.

I’m upstairs now so no pic but I picked up a really clean Makita 4300 for $100. Needs a new clutch drum so when I get a replacement I’m converting to rim drive instead of factory spur drive.
