I really think you should have called the dealer back, negotiated a few thousand off the price and gone to work with it. 7 hours is pretty minimal. It's like buying a "new" car with 75 miles on the odometer. I understand your frustration, but now you're still frustrated AND you don't have an...

I went thru a similar decision a couple years ago when I got tired of fighting to start my Stihl ms290. I went with the Echo 4910 (501p- basically the same saw ). Great saw. After running 6-8 thanks is had thru it to break it in, open up the exhaust (very simple), pull the tuning limiting tabs...

That Vevor setup looks nice. I use a 55 gallon drum and a rotary hand pump I put together for diesel a couple of years ago. It's not this clean any longer...🤷‍♂️ I want to do something similar for ethanol free gas for the mowers/splitter/generator/etc but I just don't want to spend the $ on...

I also use the cycle stop valve setup with 4.5 gallon pressure tank. It works fantastic to hold a steady pressure. Mine is mostly for irrigating the garden and livestock tanks/water at ranch out buildings. I start the garden sprinklers and the pressure holds steady at about 50 for as long as...

I was perusing the "today's posts", saw this thread and thought: Here we go!! I was not disappointed. "Oil is cheap - I change it before every use!!" ;) (Slight exaggeration) "I go 10 years between changes!!" (again - slight exaggeration) and everything in between. Haha - I go by the...

Almost new TS Dewalt 60 gallon 155psi. 15-17 amp 220 motor. 0-full in between 6-7 minutes Refills from 125-155 in a little more than a minute if I don't pull any air. It sure us loud, though.....

Blue Ox BX88377 Quick Change Clamshell Tow Ball Adapter https://a.co/d/h0uWkbQ Simple and cheap. Be smart towing around the ranch.

When I bought my 15 y/o cattle trailer last year (double axle trailer with brakes on both), I bit the bullet and bought pre-assembled self-adjusting kits for each of the brakes that included the backing plate with all the hardware already installed. The brakes on the trailer looked like the...

Wow. I have 2 older Dewalt grinders, but I've thought of getting a couple of cheap ones to hold different disks on so I don't have to swap them out. That Wen looks like a great option. $23 right now.

More heat. 30 seconds isn't nearly enough.

I've just started putting E0 in my small engines. Walmart about 30 minutes away carries 87 octane E0. I purchase 10 gallons at a time when I'm up that way. For the 2 cycle engines, I go to another station that sells 91 octane E0 for a stupid $ per gallon. The chansaws/blowers don't go...

Yep - I do the same - smaller pieces horizontal and larger (~18+") roll to the splitter and slide them on the end plate. Split in half then you can take pie slices out one after the other on one half as you slightly rotate it and split. It makes nice consistent split pieced. When I'm working...

What are you going to be splitting? I have Live Oak. It's one of hardest wood in North America. I went with a 37 ton Northern Tool splitter and I've been happy. The price jump from ~25/27 ton to ~35/37 ton is a pretty big price jump. 4" piston on the ~25 ton to a 5" piston on the ~35 ton...

I also use the IBC totes. They work well and last a long time

I think he means a face cord. 4x8x~16"
