Made a path down to the bottom back side of our property.

Here are the current trails. Simply...so I can walk through it with ease, no stickers or ticks to worry about. The knobs of KY are what's left of an eroded ocean floor from long, long ago. The fossilized crinoid riddled layer is like cement the clay layers below that are now hard shale. The...

Manual doesn't specify. Prob any green/yellow 50/50.

New boot.

Don't forget to pull your strainer and clean it. I also put a magnet in the hole to check for metal pieces.
