    Hours between oil changes

    As much of a believer as you are in synthetic, I'm just the opposite. I see no advantage to running synthetic. If synthetic oil is called for in a car or a mower engine the manufacturer would say so and not list it as an alternative. People go out and spend from $7 to $11 a quart for the...

    Hours between oil changes

    Change your oil and filter every fifty hours or If you are working in a dusty/dirty environment more often. I'd go with what the manual and the manufacturer says to run. Most all the manufacturers call or recommend a detergent oil of SG, SH, SJ or SL for oil type, not a synthetic. I don't...

    If you could start all over again

    I don't believe there under powered I know there under powered. Echo's Pas system power heads run from 21.2 cc engines to the largest being 28.1 cc. The smallest Stihl you can buy is the 90 and it's a 28.4 cc and there 130 is 36.3cc so tell me the Echo"s not under powered in comparison. I can...

    Trashed Ryobi blower

    I came across this in someone trash, looks almost new so I threw the thing in the truck and figured I'd look at it when I got home. Guess what, I couldn't believe the thing actually runs. I think it may need a couple of things like a gas filter, mabe a new spark plug and maybe the screen if...

    Ebay/Craigslist Is this worth it

    The thing only produces 160MPH Your going to pay $75 for the blower, invest another $125 for a grand total of $200 for a 160mph that may last fro a month. I can buy a blower new for $249 that delivers 153/190 mph with a warranty and last for years, What wrong with this picture

    Echo introduces its own brand of two-cycle gas+oil pre-mix

    Not bad, That's only about $40.00 a gallon for premium gas. For that I could do a lot of driving to find some ethanol free gas.

    Honda Trimmer

    Let me see if I get this right I should buy a Honda and settle for a 25cc engine that weighs 13.2 lbs with a 1 year warranty and cost $349 when I can have a Stihl 4 mix 90R with a 28.4cc engine that weighs 11.7 lbs with a 2 year warranty at a cost of $287 doesn't seem like a good deal to me and...

    Turf-Master Review

    I purchased the Turf-Master as a kind of replacement mower for my Cub Cadet G1336 Walk Behind mower. For the money I was spending I was a bit skeptical at first and more so buying it sight unseen. The Turf-Master is basically a cross between my 1336 and a rear-bagging self propelled mower, it's...

    Weed trimmer racks

    I got a triple crown rack that came with the trailer, it used a full length 2x2 angle to fasten it to the trailer and I still had to use 1x1 steel angle on each side to keep it from swaying.
