    Skidder or Tractor? If you could only have one.

    Skid steers are nice especially for having all the attachment in front not that is not possible with a tractor, if Id have one it would have to be with tracks but I haven't seen a skid steer being able to hook up hay equipment like a rake or a baler so it would have to be a tractor.

    Even if they were, often the mains issue is while pushing on a tree with a machine the tree snap in half, then fall on itself or the cut hinge let go, the bottom kick out and the tree fall on the equipment.

    Warm up before driving mini excavator out of garage?

    I would let it idle for a minute or two until the white smoke stop and it run as it should then move it out and let it warm up properly there until it reach temp.

    Chain sharpening difference?

    My old man was a logger, at some point he snap a chain and simply put it away. He recently found it, repaired it and put it on he said I don't know what I am doing differently now but I lost the touch compare to back then. To be clear his still a very good hand filler, better then I will ever be.

    How does a NOCO battery charger "desulfate" the battery?

    Chain sharpening difference?

    I don't like these round edges tooth chain, I much rather the square tooth chain... round tooth are good when working in dirty stuff and are easier to sharpen but doesn't bite nearly as much.

    There's always a certain level of heat generated with a grinder, grinder can create micro fractures and dose create a rounder edge where hand filling there is none of these.

    yeah it like a recover or repair mode (same thing)... the 1 amp doesn't have it because its insufficient amps for it... you would used the desulfate mode when a battery is flat dead.

    Yep.... oil question!!

    Ya, the mower is hydraulic with a hydraulic pump, the manual called for hydraulic fluid, put hydraulic fluid in it. I would put ant ISO 100 hydraulic fluid in it.
  151. Rockbadchild

    Yep.... oil question!!

    I would go with the manual and find equivalent oil... I have a feeling the dealer miss understood you... is that possible ? AW stand for anti wear and its designed for hydraulic system, SAE 85-140w is gear oil for gears, bearings, and extreme pressure, that's too thick for a hydraulic pump.

    Floating docks

    What ever you use don't use Styrofoam, critters go in and chew it away to nest in it. If you use plastic barrels seals the cap with a sealer like caulking if not the caps will leak. I would suggest if you can find a old pontoon boat they make great floating docks.
