does the chain on a 14" bar get dull quicker than a 16"?

Will accessories from a X500 fit an X590? I have snow blade, weather shield, ect. for the X500 Jerry

My Dixon Ultra 52 just broke it's second discharge shoot. Is there a better, more flexible chute that will fit? Maybe from a Husqvarna? I may try making my own out of a mud flap or floor mat. Thanks, Jerry

Will the John Deere blades from the big box store fit my X500 or do I have to buy them from the JD dealer? Thanks Jerry

I saw a couple of Dixon tractors on a truck is Husqie painting their tractors blue and marketing them as Dixons? Jerry

Thinking about replacing one of my gas trimmers with a Worx 32 volt. I get tired of spending more time trying to keep it running than trimming. Are they as good as the Sthl electric? Jerry

Are the grease ZERKS on an X500 mower deck pressed in? Are they replaceable? With my grease gun nozzle tightened as tight as I can the grease still squirts out around it. Jerry

One place in the manual say first change 50 hours another every 200 hours. Is it first at 50 then next at 250? Has anyone actually remover the top port plugs? They look impossible to reach. I assume it is an Allen wrench? Jerry

Where do I get 20W50 motor oil? Farm and Fleet does not have it. Would Atlas? Is there any place to get the filter except a Dixon dealer? Would a Husqvarna dealer have them? Jerry

My Mini-Trail Boss has been acting up. 2 days ago it ran great until I had to put the chain back on and refill the fuel mix. Then it did not want to stay running and seemed to have no power. My first thought was bad fuel so yesterday I dumped the mix and started over with fresh gas and oil. It...

Some of my equipment uses 40:1 and some 50:1. My Stihl dealer suggested a "universal" oil. Yesterday my chainsaw had almost no power and was hard to keep running. I dumped the gas oil mix and got a fresh gallon of 87 octane and a fresh bottle of Stihl brand 50:1 in the silver bottle. Once I got...

I forgot to turn off the mower deck, actually I hit the chock button, and killed my engine. Now it will not restart. I have turned the POT on and off repeatedly and no help. Do I need to re set something?

I have 4 2 cycle devices, 2=40:1 and 2=50:1. My problem is I do not use enough of either to mix up 2 separate gallons. My Sthil dealer sold me some universal oil that should work with anything to 50:1, but the 40:1 trimmer does not seem to like it as well. Any suggestions? Would the 40:1 work in...

I am testing an Ultra 52". I did not notice it does not have a fuel gauge until I ran out of gas with only a narrow strip left to mow. Does the bigger models have fuel gauges? Is there an after market or dealer installed option. The ride is pretty rough. Is there a better seat?

How important is the ROPS? The Ultra 52" does not have one. The dealer says they are only really need for going up steep slopes or ramps. On hills they are more likely to slide.
