    Chain saw chain sharpeners

    My Stihl 2 in 1 file arrived today, I used it to sharpen a couple of chains, I'm very impressed. Impressed enough to buy another one for another chain size. If you are on the fence over one of these I'd strongly suggest to buy one, very quick and very useful.

    I have L3901 and MX 5800 and would comment that regen happens every so often, it takes a few minutes and is not an issue. The MX series loader has a very useful capacity, if I had to pick one tractor it would be my MX as my smaller tractor loaders are not up to all the tasks that I need to get...

    Do gear driven 4701 burn up clutches?

    I believe that the L4701 is a mechanical synchro shuttle transmission not hydraulic, maybe that explains the attached post above. I don't own one but understand that changing from forward to reverse requires use of the clutch as per the manual excerpt above. You have not stated what your use is...

    CVT vs. Automatic Transmission in car

    I see a few mentions in the above postings of Subaru. Some years ago we spent an extended winter trip in Vermont and quickly realized that there was a very high number of Subaru vehicles on the roads there, including our friends there had 2. The reason was the severe winters, lots of hills, deep...

    What is a good sprayer for an L4600 or B2601?

    Sid, There are a lot of cheap sprayers on the market with all sorts of mixed reviews. Lot's of issues with PTO pumps due to materials and what you are spraying, also care and maintenance is a big issue. If you want to step up to the next step I would recommend Demco sprayers, take a look at...

    Plain vs. Roll Over Box Blade on my L3301

    Rick, Below is what I ordered for my L3901 Hydraulic Top Link, once I connected the hoses to the cylinder it took me all of 2 minutes to remove and replace the existing top link and plug in the hoses to my rear remotes. If you are asking how to plumb for rear remotes, my dealer fitted mine...

    Bafoon......Me that is!

    I lost one too from my L series cup holder, lucky that I was on a trail and was able to go back and eventually find my phone. I just purchased a heavy duty phone pouch that has a very tough belt clip.

    Bush Hog -- FYI

    I've been there too trying to get those bolts out. I put new blades on an old cutter last year, my 3/4" drive socket bar and a heavy 6' pipe could not move them, no matter how much I soaked them in WD 40 or PB Blaster. I ended up cutting them off, what a task that all turned out to be. I sold...

    Went form a b2620 to an lx2610

    My only complaint? The whole damn tractor is plastered with warning stickers. You are maybe missing one sticker that needs to be added ....lol They are available on ebay and fit in very well with all those other danger stickers.

    Rear remote coupler type

    Typically 1/2" that's what I purchase to fit all my tractors. make sure the lines you are buying have the correct fittings on the other end for the hydraulic top link you are buying. I'd recommend buying the top link and hoses from one source to ensure they are a correct fit at the cylinder. The...

    New Stihl MS 194 CE Chain Saw Not Fitted With Recommended Chain or Bar

    You are correct the 193 T is considered a professional in tree saw, all bar lengths are typically 14”, but Sthil recommends a 0.050” gauge bar and chain for all 193 or 194 saws, I’m sure that professional in tree guys do not run 0.043” gauge saws. This gauge only appears on basic homeowner saws...

    New Stihl MS 194 CE Chain Saw Not Fitted With Recommended Chain or Bar

My new MS. 194 should have had interchangeable chains with the MS 211. The 0.043” gauge chain fitted to...

    Flip thanks, I learned something new, I knew poppet was considered a better seal that’s why I purchased them in the past.
