Tried to buy one. They never answered the phone and never returned my messages, circa 2014. Wanted to drive down and pick it up. Bottom line was no response. DR Power was a customer so we bought one of those, at a discount. Suspect they are indeed copies. The parts manual is very detailed and...

That thing went up like a Russian ammo dump!

Anyone have one of the Titanium series MIG welders?

Looking at the parts diagram, the SuperSplit has two bearings with a support in the center. The DR has one full-width bearing. There are quite a few other differences: two return springs, safety interlock handles, etc. All industry-standard stuff, any industrial supply or bearing supply shop...

When was that? Bought ours in 2014. We have a very old DR brush mower we've kept due to the excellent Kawasaki engine.

We have a DR Power K55 Kinetic purchased in 2014. Wanted to buy a SuperSplit but they never answered my phone calls despite being local. DR was closing their factory store in NH and I arrived on their last open weekend. It was pouring rain and they had a floor model at a crazy great price so...

Necrothread but no good reason to start a new one. We have a DR Power K55, discontinued as the K34 seems to do the same job. Purchased in 2014. Overall very pleased as the cycle time is much faster than hydraulics and it’s split everything we have (Ash, Birch, Hornbeam, Maple, Red Oak. Limited...

In the old days to pack down ski jumps, we used lots of people with snow shoes.

We've used many, many different compounds over the years, from ski wax to Pam to Mower Guard to spray Silicone to DuPont Snow and Ice Repellant. They all work: for about 20 minutes.

In NH, most of what grows other than trees is rocks.

Update. The powder coating lifted and got a lot of corrosion. Once I got a van, didn’t need it anymore, repainted it and sold. Needed something to bring the snowmobile to the dealer so bought a 5’x8’ aluminum kit...

Called them up and found the real deal on the tires. They are rated for 80mph. But because of some CA law they rate everything for 45. I’ll take some pics, came out nice.

Got to try it several times, on powder to slush. We got an 18” storm and it was throwing the snow over the lower utility lines! And works must better with plowed and slushy snow.

Ash, several varieties of Birch, Maple, and Red Oak. Some Eastern Hemlock.

Cut down some trees for firewood, and going to run the tops through the chipper. So I’ll have bucketloads. Can this be used to compost? If so what else should I add? Can I just dump it in a pile or do I need to contain it? TIA.
