    Which are do you live? just to know if you have a freezing winter, in case you don't know this, it is a lot easier to disk a plowed area once it has been frozen and thaw out... so ideally (which is the case) the area is plowed in the fall, left there for the winter and disk in the spring.

    For those with block heaters

    My point is there's ''usually'' no issues with anything hotter then that, anything colder then -4F that's when you start having issued without doing anything to help it. A smaller engine will start easier at lower temperture.

    Fast or maintaining speed is fine it's acceleration the problem... But in a way there will be no way around it, eventually it will happen. Also if there was washboard at one point and gravel was simply added on top, washboard or pot hole will mold that and resurface.

    Vehicles sold in metric countries will show liters per 100km. In Canada most people will speak both mpg and L per 100km but I would say since vehicles started to show the Liters per 100km you hear less and less people talking mpg.

    60cc seem to be the sweet spot for me for a all around saw, not too heavy and powerful enough to efficiently cut what ever you throw at it. I have a husky 359 and It has been great for me that thing is like 20 years old and never let me down.
