Here's a picture of my filter and the shavings on it, for the 50 Hour filters change, etc. Hope this is helpful!

Am late to the email, but yeah this above is no-joke! Here's a video that shows it, it's the first filter he changes in this guide - I just did my 50 Hour maintenance last week, and I did save the filters. It noticed the metal shavings as well. My tractor is 3 hours away from home, so please...

Am late to the party, and hope you'll allow my two-cents of input. Am a new tractor owner, and was in the same consideration as you, on the L4701 versus the MX5200. I never did drive the L, but just took the guidance of my salesman, and went with the MX. Have had it only 10 months now, and just...

Hi all. An update to share on this, as something occurred since my last post, and potentially worth sharing for anyone being foolish like me. =) So, a few weeks ago when up at my property, I screwed up and left my chain on the 14" saw too loose (testing a bit with notes from others), and it...

Thanks again all, for the input. I finally made it back to the property today, and did a thorough cleaning on the two saws. It seems that I was just allowing too much junk to build up under the cover and around the sprocket. Cleaned them out really well, and made an effort to stay away from...

Thanks all, for the quick replies and good information. Sorry about my delayed response, been a bit busy. I think the references about the oil-holes getting clogged up, is the problem. As mentioned in my first post, each saw cuts good at first, and then starts to give-out and overheat. What...

Hi all. Am new to the land maintenance / ownership, and need some guidance about what I'm experiencing with my two chainsaw's purchased (new). I purchased two Echo chainsaw's from Home Depot. 20 inch, Timberwolf...

This is as far that I've gotten into the thread (third reply), and yes, sorry, I have to agree... If this OP is boastful about being an "Engineer", how do you repeatedly incorrectly spell a word that should be part of your basic technical skill set!?

Hi all. Am really new to all the land maintenance activities such as this, and appreciate the information about digging out big tree stumps. Please forgive me for this possibly being a dumb question... But why not figure out a way to burn the stump out? It was my understanding that you could...

"Gets in the way when you mow" Cut your branches up higher, that's what I did. ;)

That's wild! I actually grew up in the Janesville area, but have been gone since the summer of '86. Had never heard that the Central part of the state had a soil situation like that...

Thanks everyone for the quick replies. I had seen those IBC Tote things before, but didn't know the name. Kept searching for rain water tank, and those never came up for me unfortunately. The math that was supplied earlier, for an 8' x 8' roof line to produce 37 gallons of water, with 1-inch...

Hi all. Was searching on the site for an earlier Thread that may relate to this but couldn't find one in the past year. So, would appreciate any tips that you all have, if you've done this for your property. Am thinking about possibly setting up a water collection system, to gather rain water...

Hi all. A bit of revive on this old thread, I have a MX5200 as well, and was doing a Forum Search about loader and weight items, and have to tease ole Smitty there... By your logic.... So, what's heavier, a pound of lead, or a pound of feathers....? "275 LBS of water is 2,295 lbs" I kid, I...

That's funny to me, you guys refer to a break-in period, as 1000 Hours. ;)
