Re: Millwaukee M18 Quik Lok w/Hedge Trimmer attachment

I have an articulating hedge trimmer for my Stihl 2 strokes. That is the weapon of choice for going after the out of control briar I've decided to start cleaning out. Being able to reach in to a thicket of thorns and reduce it to a pile of deadly twigs down on the ground makes the process easier to ...

Re: Walker rolling

I'd aggree there. They are loud.

A lot of it comes from the GHS system though. Remember you've got the grass discharge chute topping out around your upper back. All that noise is coming up from below unlike a regular mower that is throwing the grass out the side, or possibly further back to a ...

Re: Adventures with the 222 (aka "Maxine")

And glycerin filled at that... Seems a bit excessive for a bead blaster.
I think I'd do the translation once, write it on the tank, and be done. How often are you going to actually use it to worry about it?

Having never used a bead blaster, do you have to load it to different pressures for ...

Re: cab heater heat source ??

I do like the box blade winch combo. Sort of a logging winch setup I guess. You're not going to run production with that, but dealing with the odd tree here and there it would be nice.

That is someone getting full use out of their tractor package...

What's mounted to the left loader arm? I see a pull starter involved.

Re: Walker rolling

There are three levels of seat available for the Walkers. I've only ever had the basic version, and yea, it's not the most comfortable...
They offer a suspension seat... If you look in to it, make sure you're sitting down (preferably on said seat), because you may have paid less for the machine than ...

Re: New toy for Grandpa

Congrats on the Walker.
Years ago when my folks bought their first I talked to the commercial landscaper nextdoor to my shop. They told me that not only did they obviously change the engine oil, but the hyro drives, and final drives. So that's what we did. Our use puts it at a yearly service, so it ...

Re: Green Giant Arborvitae

This year has been rough for the deer. Constant snow pack for lots of weeks. They've chewed the rhododendron from the ground up to about 4' up. It's apparently mildly toxic to them, but yea, when there's nothing else, they'll work with what they can get.

Re: Messing around in the shop

I've lost track of how many times the sway bars on the 8N have been turned in to pretzels like that... Typically it's just been a sledge hammer to put them right. This year I got a little smarter, and did it on the hydraulic press... Much safer, and quieter, plus a lot more control of the finished ...

Re: cab heater heat source ??

Well, the foil has merit I imagine just reflecting the heat your feet are radiating. It works for an emergency blanket, why not for your feet... Gotta make sure you have room in your boots for extra layers though.

Honestly, just going to wool socks has been a significant improvement for me this ...
