Are you equipped for lawn maintenance?

I don't doubt it, and I did the same with my motorcycle but never went more than 5 or 6 months on the gas. Also kept it in a heated shop with a full tank w/Sta-bil over the winter.

None of my lawn equipment has ever seen ethanol or climate controlled storage (at least while I have owned them), and I've held real gas in the cans for 2 years with Sta-bil, and no ill effects or rough idling or hard starting.

Some years back I bought a Honda HR215 mower cheap from a guy because it was hard starting. I ordered a new carb from Plano Power Equipment and don't run ethanol in it, and it's been one-pull every since...

I think Stabil makes all the difference. I have been religious with using it and I only use ethanol fuel. I don't have any problem with any of my equipment.

Make sure you use a snatch block so that it doesn't fall on YOU.

Ended up just making a base cut and pulling them down with a backhoe.

I'm glad I did, I think this one would have come down on it's own this winter..

I think you're right. Good job. I had a tree guy out today to give me a quote on taking down a couple of twenty year old poplars that are over sixty feet tall and have trunks that are pushin 3' in dia. I love the trees, but the roots are becoming a problem in my septic tank and they are sending roots out toward the house. Time to go!

Damn. You weigh less than a brick?

Under the seat there's a switch you gotta rig so it doesn't turn off if you see a stick you gotta pick up.

On my John Deere, you set the emergency brake and disengage the blades and the engine will stay running and the seat sensor is bypassed.

Not to worry, I'd tear it up the first night and work on it until everything was good!
