    Have you ever had hot slag burn down inside your boot?

    I did while I was on a 6 ft ladder burning out a cross member on a sea container. By the time I got on the ground and got my boot off the slag was melted into the top of my foot. hurt like crazy. It hurt even more when i dug it out! I did a lot of stupid stuff when I was a kid.

    Stihl or Husqvarna

    I own 2 Stihl chainsaws. An older .036 with a 24 inch bar and a small limbing saw. I've had no problems with the .036 for 14 years. It is tired though. I'm thinking about a Husqvarna just not sure if it can match my Stihls for durability. Any recommendations?

    Is my backhoe ballast enough?

    Hey. I have a 955 with mod 70 FEL and a mod 7 backhoe. The hoe stays on the tractor all of the time. My question is do I need to think about adding Rimsaver for extra ballast or is the backhoe good enough. I do run side hill quite a bit but I go slow and haven't had any problems yet. The hoe...

    Hey. Does anyone have any idea why my backhoe keeps slowly leaving the full upright position? As I use the tractor, every so often I have to reach back and raise it back up. Not a big problem but I would like to fix it. Thanks.
