I worked for 25 years with a guy who ran his own mowing service he worked with me only for insurance and 401k
He mowed all the business 's and residential homes he could manage his wife helped some
He averaged 50k sometimes near 60k on a good year
He retired at 50

1990 Husqvarna 268 similar size to the anemic 55 but far more powerful
this one was ported by zoo city saws.
if you find a 266/268/272 get it.
excellent saws

How is their B&C oil?

Expensive. But very good. Some use it when milling because it does such a good job of preventing wear during high-heat cutting.

Will I need to readjust the carbs on my stuff?

This seems like a silly question when we’re talking about Bar and Chain oil…

I want to start a blog. I want to call it either kettenjung which is German for chain boy, or holzjung which is German for wood boy. Any other ideas?

You don’t adjust the carb at the beginning of the day and throughout the day if the weather changes?

Like daily posts on YouTube type of blog? Holzjung sounds like Holzforma. I want the Holzforma carbon fiber Stihl 660 clone. I don’t have an opinion between the 2 name ideas, they are equal to me.

 

[Oddsandends]

I saw the new Stihl mowers at the dealer today...

I would kill somebody for one of those beautiful machines... I also picked up an MS 162 because it was on sale. I must say, it BLEW my mind how good it turned out to be. It is such a massive improvement over the 170. I'm about to post a Youtoobe video about it.

Ace. The new Stihl mowers.

My connection at Stihl says there will be a more affordable mower coming soon.

 

[Oddsandends]

I’m a derp.

 

[Oddsandends]

Also what find of mower?

They also seem to be aimed at replacing the market gap from the Honda mowers. The Stihl mowers seem to me to be the only real replacement of quality for a Honda anyway. Turdo is going all plastic and all the other mower makers are focusing on making everything electric. And they've also got kohler engines instead of Breaks 'n scrap 'em junk.

You need to see who makes them.

Stihl does. The company was called Viking before Stihl bought it up in the early 90's.

The grounds care brand, VIKING, has been owned by STIHL since 1992, but from 2019, all VIKING machines, including mowers, are being rebranded as STIHL.
