    Trailer Recommendation

    I'm just a typical guy and not a pro, but that sounds like a pretty good deal. Especially considering it's only 2 years old, and diamond plate instead of wood boards. And you've got all the boxes checked so you're not buying a stolen trailer. I paid about double that for a new 83"W x 20' L PJ...

    Looking at grapples

    Thank you for this info. I'll look into EA deeper when I'm ready to buy a rototiller. The one's I saw on their website, are all out of stock. Anyway, I pulled out my manual for my 54" Land Pride Grapple last night. (The one I bent a tine on). Anyway, it says in a nutshell, it's for removing...

    Looking at grapples

    I slightly bent a tooth on my Land Pride grapple the first use! It was my first real use of my LX2610 too. Removed a 500 lb boulder imbedded in one of my trails. As @skeets said, if they ain't bent you aren't using it. Maybe EA uses better steel, but the way I use my tractor, as a tractor...

    Trailer Recommendation

    All this talk about a bigger truck is typical and generally very wise, to an extent. That being said I believe that the bigger issue is the rotary cutter you want or have. A backhoe presents a similar problem. Respectfully, maybe find an aluminum frame trailer that doesn't need to be 26 long...

    High Use or Professional Chainsaws

    I'd love to try a Husky. I'm sure they make quality chainsaws. But the distance to a Husky dealer for purchase and parts is too far as I recently realized.

    High Use or Professional Chainsaws

    I hope that when you read this, that your still sitting down. I called a Stihl dealer and he said it's out of stock and wouldn't quote me over the phone. I've seen them advertised online for about $2,000 US dollars. It's like buying a motorcycle. What the wife doesn't know won't hurt her...

    High Use or Professional Chainsaws

    Yes, I do my own maintenance and service on my equipment. Cars, trucks, tractors, ATVs, chainsaws, string trimmers, etc. But I still need to have close access for parts as needed. Ordering parts online can be a problem for me because of my rural location. Many times I get a note in my...

    High Use or Professional Chainsaws

    OP here. It's true. Husky support is 100 miles away and Echo is about 75 miles away/ I have Stihl support in my local town, the closest town, 15 miles away. I'm pretty remote and deep woods rural. Home Depot service is, well, respectfully, a comedy. Husky Service/sales is a 2 hour drive...

    High Use or Professional Chainsaws

    Having a little history in small engines for motorcycles and cars/trucks. I never really considered Fuel Injection as a bad thing. Further back in time. Late 1970's, I remember spraying starter fluid into mom's Chrysler LeBaron to get it started when she needed to go into town. But, and...

    High Use or Professional Chainsaws

    Thanks to everyone's comments, I've sort of narrowed it down to the Stihl MS362 CM or non-CM. The Stihl 462. Or the Stihl 391. But I still have to look into Husky. For the money it looks like the MS 362 is a Pro saw I can live with. The Stihl dealer network is a big plus for me, compared to...

    This is my line of thinking too. Get a Pro saw and Stihl's dealer backup. Thank you.

    High Use or Professional Chainsaws

    I did some youtube videos on this saw, and I immediately realized that I had this saw, (TimberWolf) many years ago but ended up selling it. I don't know if it was the CS590 back then, but it never gave me any issues. I'm still researching. Thank you for the info.

    High Use or Professional Chainsaws

    I'm looking for a 20", or a little larger bar - chainsaw. I currently have a Stihl 180 with 16" bar and it's not enough power or length for some of the trees I need to fell. And it falls short for other work I need to do on my property. I'm also considering getting one of those chainsaw...

    Cabelas

    Neither have I. To compare Disney to Cabela's/ Bass Pro Shop is a serious stretch. Cabela's may be "big retail". But they are outdoors. Disney is "big woke". The only thing Outdoors from Disney is possibly outdoor sexual innuendos aimed at children. Disney is evil incarnate. Cabela's is...

    With all due respect, you're a Millennial?! I'm impressed that you are here on a tractor website. Kuddo's to you, Sir or Maam. I'm much older than you and have 3 adult children btwn the ages of 40 and 28. Only 1 of those can understand God, farm, land, tractors, America, and The...

    In market for budget welder

    I learned on a stick welder. Glad I did. Currently own a flux-core (sometimes called MIG). But I'm not a professional, but a hacker at home guy. I don't know much. But I know that it's a good skill to have. And the best of the best in anything, are those who do it every day as a...
