    Educate me on how to pick a grapple

    I bought one for my L3901 a few months ago for my place in AR. I used it for various things around here ( my home place ) including standard limb/tree moving and moving other various things. I have had forks for years but the grapple makes so many things so nuch easier! It was my first grapple...

    Agreed. I never sit on mine when doing regen unless I happen to be working it hard at that moment.

    What is special about Stihl ZAT 4 ignition tester? Chainsaw problem

    Well, I took the saw to the authorized dealer today and asked him to check it with his superduper ZAT 4 tester. He hooked it up and gave it a yank and almost before it turned over he said "its got fire". I didnt see it and said, "dang I didnt even see it" as nice as I could, so he turned off the...

    Stihl MS271 I think I bought it around 2010 or 12 I do remember at some point the plug went bad and I replaced it and the regular test ( holding it against the head ) showed a spark with the new plug. The mechanic says that doesnt work because the head is aluminum magnesium. Last I checked AL...

    What is special about Stihl ZAT 4 ignition tester? Chainsaw problem

    Long story short, saw quit running. Checked spark, no spark. Replaced plug, no spark. Removed kill switch wire, no spark. Went to authorized Stihl dealer and he said Stihl coils dont go bad, its not the coil. Was quite rude about it. He said it must be checked using a ZAT 4 tester. I bought a...

    Fuel starvation

    I had the same type issue with my L3901. Disconnected the fuel line and blew back into the tank and it worked for a while, then did it again. I remember one day pondering how something could be in the line since I am very careful to avoid contamination in my fuel cans etc, and literally while I...

    Anyone know of / bought from Catawba Attachments?

    First post, been lurking here for a while, but never joined till now. I had been looking for a grapple and decided on the EA 55, but hesitated due to the wait time and never committed. Some months went by and it got to the point that I could no longer wait and tried to order off the EA site and...
