- This is one of the best walk behind string trimmers I've ever owned.
Making some real progress on the land but the trimmer got so plugged up with grass that I couldn't change the string. They made it very easy to fix. Well built machine with easy access to bearings and belt.
I am an amazon affiliate , Shopping through my link doesn't cost you a thing, but I get a small fee when you do. Thanks! amzn.to/2VKQjIV
The Right Tools for the Task (!!) in lots of arenas .... all of us out here on the Left Coaster applaud; hard work pays off (!!) Fun with new Friends to Boot.
Just finished that cluster of trees. Looks fantastic. I'll upload a video in the am.
The exact fix that I needed for grass clogging up my trimmer. Thanks.
Still have it , still use it. It’s been a great machine.
It's a great feeling when you have a piece of equipment that surpasses your expectations. Husqvarna makes some nice stuff.
Every once in a while I buy something whose quality shocks me.
That string trimmer has proven itself. You've got the property looking super. Good luck on your radio test. Nice hat...ha ha
Thanks! A few more days and it will look like my yard.
Good luck with your test. I talk to Prue, Australia, Puerto Rico, and all over US. I have been off the air for 30 years and just started up again in April with my wife gave me a Yeasu FT-1200 for my B Day, and now have time to play. When I started there was 5 tickets and you needed code for all of them. Novice, Tech, General, Advanced, Extra. Again Good Luck
Thanks!
thanks info BC , enjoy the day
You too!
I'm with you on the heat. This year hasn't been the hottest but it's kicked my butt so far. I'm seriously considering moving someplace where it doesn't feel like your living on the surface of the sun for 9 months out of the year. Started looking about a month ago.
I actually love the heat! I come from snow country originally and I don't miss being cold for 9 months of the year.
Brad, great job on the new land but that is the norm for you. thanks tom
Thanks Tom. I'll upload a machete review and some footage of what I did today, in the morning.
I worked on a ship named the MV Lionheart, a RO/RO out of Miami, our call sign was Whiskey Delta Papa Tango. It always made me smile to say that.
What's a RO/RO?
Roll on/roll off. the entire bow of the ship raises up and a big tongue ramp slides out and the trucks roll on and off. The ramp is massive and lays on the dock, but sometimes the sea makes the ship move at the dock and the ramp slides across the dock and makes a whale noise and the whole ship vibrates. Of course, in a storm it is comforting to know we could open up the bow and let out any water, LOL
+Robb's Homemade Life sounds like an interesting job!
good progress on the trees and im sure you will get your radio pass soon
I'm gonna finish that cluster of trees today and next week I have 100 more feet of fence to clear,and then it's finished.
Awesome! I knew you'd like that trimmer! When I lubed mine I always used silicon spray because it dried fast and didn't leave a sticky residue for dirt to stick to. I also used it to treat my mower decks and it really helped keep wet grass from clumping and clogging the deck and bag system.
Thanks for the tip. I'll get some silicon spray.
You've done a great job on the new property! Always love the dogs!
Thanks! I can actually see the end soon!
Thank you for this video. I had to repair mine and this was very helpful
Place looks just great.
Thanks John.
Nice job on clearing that property. I hope those neighbours don't give you any trouble over there. May be worth it to get some kind of surveillance going.
I'm thinking that now that it's cleaned up and looks like my yard, they will quit throwing stuff over the fence.
Throw it back over they should get the hint.
Nice break down on the strings. I go them really fast and maybe the DR will help.
So far it's the best I e tried.
Man oh man... Looks good... It is good to know about the string... I am using a Craftsman trimmer!! ;-)
Nice machine.
It's one of the few machines I've bought that have payed for themselves so quickly.
Land is looking good. I will have to give he D R string a go. God bless brother
Thanks Cokeman!
Def a labor of love. We only have 20ish acres left! How large of a sapling will it cut?
Looks like you got a HAM operator tower near your area of operations Chief 📻📡👍🏻
Yep. Minden Louisiana.
Good vid my man! Always interesting, informative & keeping it fun! Especially the dude with knife and barefoot! LOL!
Yeah the dude with the knife was definitely skilled at banjo playing.
you got one of them life like back packs it looked and moved just like a dog so interesting I'm going to have to invest in one the one I have is to heavy and berry hairy
Old German saying 6 Day work 1 day clean
Lookin Good. Thinkin I need one of those String trimmer. :-)
They only fill a narrow niche,but for that niche,they're indispensable.
I heard that and I have a niche! :-)
I had the same issue with my trimmer but like you said easy fix, I think one of the biggest annoyances for me is the flap between the rear wheels, didn't notice but does your have that? I may make some modifications to it.
Mine doesn't have the flap but I just sat Down to take a break and drink some water. When I get back up, I'll know wether the mod I made is gonna be enough. Almost down with the tree cluster. I'll finish today and next week, finish the fence.
Nice work on the acreage, lookin good. I hope that trimmer didn't have poison whatzits up in the thinger. That's all you need. Looks like some people are still making good stuff. Wonder if that's still original husky or the Poo Lawn people are making that too.
It says in the instruction manual,made at the husqvarna plant. I'll google it
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose Husqvarna makes good, well great, stuff. Maybe only their chain saws were sold.
another great show, i did not know or remember you are a ham i was a t field day also all weekend. 73 ve3gcg
I'm not a ham yet. I'll take the test in August.
Another great video, have you checked out the apps for smart phones that help you study for the Ham test??
I'll check it out. Thanks!
The answer to the flash card question is yes :-)
Wrong! The answer was 7! Or maybe it was blue. Or left.
Purple?
Hello I am wondering if soda bottles are good for storing foods like beans and rice. Are there other inexpensive opinions? Thanks. Ben
I store beans and rice in heat sealed packages with oxygen absorbers in them. Those packages I store in gamma seal five gallon buckets. I also store tons of beans and rice in cleaned soda bottles. I've been using those over the years and I see no I'll affects from that method of storage either.
+BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose thank you. Hope to use it for some pice of mind. I'm in mass and snow storms are regular in the winter
is it 2 or 4 cycle? what kind of gas? what kind of oil?
its a gasoline engine, so,,,,,,,it takes the gasoline type of gasoline,any octane.
Maybe your hated neighbors will breathe in the poison ivy smoke and get it internally and then want to move away! LOL
I really don't hate them people. I just wish they had more "raising" than to trash other people's property.
Hay Brad. Do you know how to replace the belt on the trimmer?
Norman McGregor sorry norm. I haven't had a need to get to it yet.
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose OK! I broke one on mine so I guess I'll have to learn the hard way! Lol
Norman McGregor be sure and do a video! May have to replace mine someday.
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose For sure!
Working 9 hours in 1010 degree heat?... You got LOTS more gumption than I do...
I actually like the heat. It makes my arthritic bones feel better.
After you said you were making poisonous smoke and the next clip you were coughing and hacking I thought you had done pisoned yaself. Glad you didn't. Dangerous stuff.
There is another vine growing here that isn't poisonous but it giving my sinuses fits.
Lots of combat wounds on that left forearm at the end. All in a good days work.
Right arm and both legs look the same.
@BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose - Great job on the new land.
Did you get a land patent on the property?
Sorry, I don't mean to nosy, but I am. Do you have a warranty deed on your homestead or a land patent?
I ask because I wasn't sure if you know you can land patent up to 160 acres of property as long as you meet one of three criteria; 1. you live on the land, 2. you maintain the land or 3. you improve the land. The benefit to a land patent is, you no longer have to ask any government agency, (federal, state, county or local), for permission, (get a permit), if you want to make any improvements to it; examples; put in a well, build a shed, build a house or build a ten foot high stone wall to keep the crazy neighbor from throwing her trash on your land. And the property can never be taken away from you, like an eminent domain issue.
Jeff, I'll look into that. I've never heard of a land patent before. I can already build a house or drill a well without permits. I hope that never changes.
+BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose Here In ND if you lose your ranch or farm to the bank you can keep your home and 160 acres. Please send some rain my way.
Never heard land patent, homestead though around here (not sure it's the same thing) sometimes it's automatic. A Title company can inform you. It's probably done, but you want to make sure your deed is recorded in your name. Title insurance can be a cheap good idea if you didn't already get that. Love that no permit stuff. Governments just naturally grow into a big pain in the ass.
tblbaby - Most title companies hate land patents because it takes money away from them, making their services unneeded and making them pointless.
Land patents takes power away from all government agencies, banks, real estate companies, utility companies and attorneys. It gives power back to the people that own land. So instead of renting land from counties with a deed, you own the land outright.
With a land patent and a proper no trespassing sign posting at all 4 corners of your property, no government agency can step foot on your land without a warrant or your absolute permission. The land can never be taken away from you or your family, forever.
If a government officer ever tresspasses on your land and you tell him or her to leave and they refuse, you can charge them $5000 using Title 18, United States Code, sec. 241. If two or more officers refuse to leave or threaten you with arrest for not permitting them on your land without a warrant, they can be charged with a $10,000 fine each and up to 10 years in jail.
JeffsFreedomGarage Wow, that's great. I've been involved in real estate many years and never heard of it. Can you get than anywhere?
