4000 psi of hydraulic fluid would remove it 😲 and test the crimp at the same time 😄.

We have an old Jotul Oslo that has heated our house for about 15 years. No pollution stuff on it and basically been trouble free. Really nice having the window. Only time it has struggled is with the 20 below windchills in February because our great room is surrounded in large glass windows that...

I have the 2 cords I bought stacked on the south side of my garage in the sun and it's ready to burn now. Moving another 2 cords I cut up on my porch now. Should be good until beginning of March with this. Have about 20 more face cords of ash in the woods I am cutting now. Just bought the...

I did the same thing a couple weeks ago as I am behind. With fuel oil over $6.00 a gallon it was definitely worth it Finally ahead now after starting to clean up EAB killed ash. Nothing like wood heat.

Looks like he thought a Kubota sticker would raise the value $4k over the auction price.

I see they have the auto throttle available on it now.

I would never go back to a rocker after using the side by side pedals. Factory cab and side by side pedals seems to be catching up with the new little Kioti that has been stealing a lot of small tractor sales. I see a ton of them replacing the little Kubotas and Deeres around here. Can't beat...

I have been watching that dual battery 20 inch one. The kit comes with 2 forge 8s but all tests I saw show it needs 2 12s for top performance. It's a heavy saw though. If they make a kit with the 12s I'm in. I'm slowly switching to the forge batteries. I see no real life difference between them...

They sell them and many others at Home Depot. Hasn't bottomed out yet. Nice that it's light enough to slide out of the hitch with everything in it to keep the sawing stuff together when not needed.

I keep the 3 saws, batteries, chains, wedges, oil, and chaps in that aluminum box I mounted in the RTV trailer hitch. Don't take the new tractor in the woods because of the cab and all the crap that blows off the dead ash.

I cut between 12 and 18 face cords a year to heat our house totally with wood. 97% of it is cut with battery saws now. I'm looking at that new big husky electric saw now to ditch the gas totally. Just so reliable and trouble free to me.

Is it legal to blow that stuff outside in a HOA ?

Yes it is so nice to just pull the trigger and have it run. Plus you don't need to carry a can of premix into the woods. Biggest part is keep your chains sharp for longest battery life and don't force them to try and cut faster as that will shorten battery life. You still need a big gas saw for...

I use mine for anything 12 inches and down.cuts depend on battery size and wood type. A 12ah battery with a sharp chain will last as long as a tank of gas on my small echo saw. A 8 ah battery is lighter but less torque for the saw with shorter life. They're not toys. I tried the Dewalt saw first...

Loaded it up with firewood. Hundreds of standing dead cherry and fallen ash trees to deal with. Pre-seasoned firewood 😄. Love those battery saws and charging them with solar so free wood if you don't count the $48 dollars of diesel in the rtv 😳.
