    Here it is 80+ degrees today and I decided to get the saw ready for use. Having been empty since probably March, I filled with good fuel, choked it, pulled 4 times until pop. Cut choke back and started up on 2nd pull. Hope your start is as uneventful as mine.

    Ever do this?

    Not that I'm much of a mister-fix-it, but a friend brought me a Stihl 025 that would not run. I told him I'll see what I can do - probably fuel related. Anyway, after finding the problem was the sparkplug and replacing it, I did a little adjusting on the carb as the idle was too high. After that...

    Wild muscadine vine advice?

    In clearing out some trees around the perimeter of my house I have found several wild muscadine vines. No fruit, but very long/plentiful vines.

    Martin guitars - the next gold?

    I know that Martin guitars have really appreciated in the last 10-15 years, but it seems they've really took off lately. A friend of mine went to a local estate auction recently and noted that there was among the items for auction a 1938 Martin 00-18. It needed a neck reset, an aftermarket...

    Dad's still working on mowers

    Bought my dad a nice low hour/really nice JD 325 to replace an old Cub which he worked on about as much as used. I did all preventative maint. to it, new blades, new belt, etc., tested it out and thought he'd be mowing a season or two before any repairs above typical stuff. I went by to see him...

    Pequea chipper ?

    Anyone here have a Peqeua pto-powered unit or experience w/ one ? I'm considering one because my local dealer sells this brand - if not Pequea, seems as if Wallenstein is one of the better units out there.

    2 trailers or 1 ?

    For those of you who haul, say lawnmowers = 3500lbs., at least once a week and then have a tractor or skidsteer = 7000lbs. to haul occasionally - do you have separate trailers for each use or one trailer that will do either?

    Cold natured Stihl ?

    Anyone else on here ever had a Stihl that flat had to warm up before running? I've got an 028 that is about 25 years old - used minimally over the years, but it has always been cold natured from day one. You get it started with choke on (even if it's 90 deg. outside), let it idle for 5 minutes...

    Speaking of safety...

    I had a close call of sorts today. Mowing w/ self-propelled push mower (Deere JX75) w/ bagger attached. I was mowing new grass for the first time, super-wet, and had already emptied the bagger several times. The mower has a blade-brake clutch on it, so I simply release the safety bar, blade cuts...

    No more 4510-4710's ?

    No more 4510-4710\'s ? On the the Deere site you can no longer use the build your own option for 4510, 4610, or 4710 - or at least I could not. Are they pretty done manufacturing these and moving folks up to the 4X20 series ?

    Went Deere hunting today

    Well, after giving Kubota the inside track I went just to check out the Deere machines today. Went to my local dealer and he had 2 - 4310's (eHydro & ePowrReverser). Got an excellent run down of each tractor top to bottom. Tried each out in a small field beside the dealership. Personally I felt...

    Kubota rear axles/differentials

    Has anyone here ever had any problems with rear axles/diff. or the seals on the Kubota machines. I'm assuming most of you have not and I'm positive that Kubotas' engineers are far more educated than me - but I'd prefer seeing the diff. case/housing come out much closer to the hub end of the axle...

    Deere 4210 - a different league ?

    Just looking around and doing a little comparing between Kubota and Deere compacts. Seems each mfg. has good comparisons between equal models until the Deere 4210 - it appears to outweigh Kubota's comparable HP models by 700-800 lbs. yet the overall picture of pto hp, overall sizes, etc. are...
