My thoughts as well. I was able to be with my dad when he passed. I got a call about my mom passing just as I was driving in to see her. It is a blessing to be able to be with them.😢 I’m sure she is well on her way to heaven gsganzer🙏

Used to have Cincinnati Insurance when I lived in Iowa. Regretfully, they don’t underwrite in Alaska so I had to drop them. If there is an agent in your area, I would check them out and get a quote. They were reasonably priced and did right by me when I totaled our car a few years ago. Had them...

This exactly. People tell me I should get a backhoe. I look at them like they were crazy. Last I look, a backhoe for mine cost $6k or $7k. I would never use it enough to justify that kind of expense. Rent one for a few hundred dollars for the couple of jobs i need done makes sense.

More likely to break your FEL before you ever break your grapple. I’ve got a MTL and it, along with my 4520r Branson, has been put through the works in land clearing.

If the issue is primarily mosquitos, try a product called Mosquito Barrier. It’s 99.8% garlic. You spray it using a garden hose and an end of hose dispenser. Very effective in my experience and completely harmless to everything else. Makes your back yard smell like an Italian kitchen for a...

A multi-use tool!

Hate orange. Branson red is a much better color.

They are open cuff. I use them for handling the wood. I usually use something else for handling the chainsaw.

Walmart’s cheap hyper tough cowhide leather palm gloves with cotton back. They last through 10 to 20 cord of wood handling and stacking. Did i say, they are cheap too?

Thank you oldnslo and ptsg for jumping in to help👍

Never mind 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I’m so used to just hitting the switch to my right, I forgot about the lever by my feet that shifts from 540e to neutral to 540. I kicked it into neutral.
