    201TC spark plugs

    Time for a chipper upgrade, what's your preference?

    Don't forget about a bandit 255. 15" disc. I have found I lean towards a disc chipper over a drum.

    old stihl MS 260 clutch drum needed

    Rim drums are not sold individually threw stihl you have to buy the kit. Part # 1121 007 1001. Buy the time you sand down the oregon drum if it is deeper. Did you really save any money if your time is worth money. IDK.
