I'm seeing more and more problems with valve cores leaking. Spit on them to see if they are leaking. Also, bend the stem to the side to see if they are rotting/cracking.

I never let go of the pump handle when fueling. I keep my hand grounded to the pump at all times that way there won't be a spark between me and the handle.

If he wants to work...fine. He might rather have some quality time with you, like fishing or watching critters. Just try to keep it somewhat enjoyable for him.

Here, SSQA stands for skid steer quick attach and it signifies that type of attachment design.

The guy that put a metal roof on the neighbor's big old barn used something like that. At my last job, I used vertilifts and big cherry pickers and I was amazed at how well a tow-able unit worked for him.

Good thing our Locust wood rates good for BTUs. Cut, split, burn.......

Nasty trees. :eek: If I had those things it would be WAR. Maybe cut and burn and get the neighbor's excavator to rip out whats left?

When I knew I couldn't keep up with burning all the trees, chipping was what I chose in the end. It cost some cash but was worth it.

I would love to have a swivel that goes to 90 degrees. Having a grapple being able to grab a tree while I cut it would be helpful.

I have burned log piles by stacking them so the pile gets air at the bottom. Two logs one way, then 4 the other way, then 4 the other way, and so on. Air can get in at the bottom and burn hot in the middle. Once the pile collapses, then lay more logs on the side in a teepee shape.

I see in your vertical position you use a spacer on the ground (middle picture) so the rounds lay flat to make it easier. (y) Out in the woods I can bury the end in a low spot to do the same. Also, it looks like the Oregon is made by the same people that made Speeco splitters. Good to know if...

Agree...the Speeco with the 10.5 hp Briggs I have is now 17 years old. I run it out of fuel going into winter, always use E0 fuel, change the oil every couple years....starts with 1-3 pulls. Other than a squirrel chewing a hole in the fuel tank, it has been flawless.

Being that it is on the brake side of the steering, does it have anything to do with the brakes? Does anything go through the firewall right there?

I have a Speeco 25 ton LS401216 with a 10.5hp Briggs and 16gpm pump. The bigger pump gives you the faster cycle times. Some of the 25 ton units had a 11gpm pump and a smaller engine but they were slower. When looking at splitters, know what pump they have, cylinder size, and how much oil they...

The hemi may be on the way out entirely.

If it were me, I would save the hassle and have someone run a mulch head through there. It will look like a flail mower went over it. Then you can mow it every couple of years.

So the alternator and glow plugs have their own 50a fuse circuits. The 40a fuse pops during the engine crank mode only? I'm wondering about the "pull" circuit of the fuel solenoid as that is activated during cranking. After starting, it would then go to the "hold" circuit of the solenoid.

First thing to check is the rear axle nuts. If the nut(s) got loose and the splines in the hub were stripped, the axle will just spin in the hub. It is easy to see the axles turning from the back too. That is the easy fix..............

Older equipment probably had less problems with gelling than newer equipment with finer fuel...

Up here, even double dosing PS did not stop gelling, hence the need to mix the dyed #1 diesel in it.

I find that backing into a shed, and doing it while turning, allows me to see down the side better.

Same with the dairy farmers down the road. They are better with 2 of them than I am with one.

The cost of making it look pretty is not cheap. A few days with a HydroAx and mulch head would make a huge difference. With canopy gone, I'm sure a huge amount of seedlings will sprout not that the sun is getting to them.

I'm not a fan of using the bucket to plow snow. If it is very flat pavement it will do very little scarring. If the pavement is not flat, a corner of the bucket may try to dig in as it does not float to stay level. To help, using the float position on the FEL will help.
