8"? Easy. If no rush on timeline, fell the trees and burn the stump using the burn barrel method. Stump gone in a week, no cleanup and you can refill and reseed/grass the spot in no time. For the last 4yrs or so I've dealt heavily wooded properties and large oak trees, 20"+. Burning in...

Wait, yall have grass?

I I haven't black oxided-ed...I've done bluing and parkerizing, but it has been in the gunsmith arena, not automotive. Can't speak to the longevity of it for a long term exterior/outdoors environment.

Another vote for EGO. Last fall I got an EGO LB880 and this thing kicks some ****. I'm long established with Dewalt 20v and have some Milwalkee 12v and 18v. I made the choice to enter another battery brand option because I was really impressed with the power and run time of EGO products. I...

Which Dewalt? 20v? Lately I've been considering the same as oldwizard, a new M12 ratchet. I have a couple M12 tools already and like their compactness and run time ratio. But I'm also partially to Dewalt 20v.

I read the whole thread. Codyboy, with each reply you seem to have your mind made up. I think it's dumb to use cardboard. Use at least OSB board or ply, even 1/4" is hair better than cardboard, least it is rigid. Repurpose the them when you are done. Yes, they cost more than $5. Don't be...

I was thinking the same thing. I probably would poke around the used marketplace to look for Gen1 or Gen2 boxes, though I suspect not too many people are selling theirs. I have both (56" Gen 1 top and bottom and Gen2 26" top and bottom) and can vouch for their sturdiness (moved each...

I have about 6 sheets just sitting on cribbing on the ground. Been there..mmm couple years. You're right, they're just there in the way. I mow around them. I think that I'm going to do with mine is build a water catch station, or stations and place them around the property. Other option is...

Coming in today to close out Cabin with a Carport. Thanks yall for coming in to check out the projects. I'll be off to other things; good things, new things...bigger things. Will bring yall in when the time is right. Right now I'm trying to keep hang of the tiger by tail.

I ran the 880 today to clean up the front and rear porches plus the big pad in front of the shop. I am impressed at the power and the run time of the 4ah battery. I didn't time it but for the area I covered, I used half a battery. I probably would have used the whole battery if I blew out the...

Well I just impulse purchased an Ego LB880 because if yall. Actually needed one. Came w 2 4ah batteries which will match great with the Ego string trimmer I bought this summer. This blower was also on sale. So if yall thinking bout it, now might be the time. I can't wait to go try it out.

Oh gosh, yes. I do think the starting procedure for the 261 is overly complicated. It's a chainsaw, darn it. I ought to be able to pull the string twice on choke, get a cough, switch to run, pull and get a start. Or even pull twice, maybe three on choke, get a start, idle a few seconds until...

Yes, always new, premium fuel. I don't cheap out on fuel with all the machines I have on the property. Not much a fan of small machine carb maintenance, but it does come up and I take care of it. Also I do not use premix. We've felled about 45 trees in the last 3 yrs on this property so...

Had the 261 for several years now due to the great reviews, gave it as a gift. It's cut a lot of oak on the property. It is finicky on its tune though, doesn't like to start right away. When it runs, its great. Sometimes just hit the easy button and use the Echo 4910. I've used this type of...

I think they call it or similar to? a 'full house chain'. I been using the Milwakee 6" (m12)for the last 3yrs and now the 8"(m18). On oak. Ridiculous sized pieces of oak. The saw(s) cut well. I had no business cutting what I did but I wanted to see what they'd do and they performed well. I...
