    Looking for a GPS

    I just bought a Garmin 60 CS. I picked it up because I can down load Topo's and City maps into it. Then back them out of the unit onto the home computer and then next season put them back in. I'm using it for marking treestands and deer runs on my farm. I'm also going to try tracing out some...

    MS 200T Mods

    My experience with them as been more of the inconvience of when they plug. I either have no torch to clean them up. I have found my little butane torch i carry for sodering wires does the job nicely. I have had the experience of the things filling with condensation and ice, I used to cut...

    Stihl pole saw

    Does it have any of the older saws? We have an 038 that keeps giving problems I took it to the rep guy after i fiddled with it. He sends it back the same or worse all the time ( he doesn't know his ass from toilet paper) anyway I tried setting it up it runs cleaner but the slightest bit of...

    Stihl pole saw

    Agreed but stihl hasn't made it easy! Their premeasured oil jugs do not fit the smaller jerry cans. I think my 10 litre mix goes into a 9.6 ml jerry can so doing the math i believe it is 45 to 47 : 1 , not the suggested 50:1, Have some 5 gallon mixes that are a lot better. But we find these...

    Stihl pole saw

    I was just reading the posts on the m200 chainsaw and found it interesting to see all these adjustments that are being made on saws. We bought this pole saw this spring, for pruning 20 to 25 year old cherry trees. I usually use our man lift for this job. It was a lot harder workout with the...
