I love the M. More efficient, and we haven’t had any real problems to speak of with the electronics, yet. Knock on wood.

Another vote for 261. We run 4 261s, a 241, and a 210 for a typical 2 guy cut day. 261 all run same bars and chains, so dang simple and efficient. Those 261s are just very efficient powerful saws.

Last night was good! Cold is here.. Veterans Day is going to be gooooooood!

Had a long reply typed up - somehow my phone deleted it so I will be concise. Last 5+ years we have made a point to test anything and everything we could think of in relation to mock scrapes. 50+ scrapes a year across southern and central Iowa, all monitored with cameras. Ranging from the most...

A bit small for our uses. Selling as pictured. Everything works, I was told it was used 1 time for a small food plot before I bought it. $1750 located in Knoxville.

Almost exactly what we do. Works great, especially with good rain. We add radish and some clovers, pending time of year, conditions, and next years goals for the plot. I've done 200# of rye rate in the past - almost seems to come up like golf course lawns. I prefer the plant diversity and lower...

Had a similar result this year on a 2nd year ladino plot. Ended up tilling and reseeding with oats / rye / clovers. Re-establishing clover stand with a variety to hopefully help survive summer. This area had been farmed by a fly by night type farmer for years, soil all cracking throughout the...

Quiet here.. I've heard of pockets eastern Mahaska Co.

I have been able to take various family members over the years, and my younger sister is up to bat again this year. Four years ago we got lucky and the giant deer in my avatar wondered into 12 steps on Sept 29th. From the ground. First deer she had ever seen while hunting herself. We could not...

Great video. Lot's of information!

I suppose that's why it works so dang good on stump sprouts. Good info, all honeysuckle needs to die, haha!

Interesting... Isn't triclopyr 4 specifically for stump applications?? Have had great luck with it, even on 15' mature bushes. Always had some gly in there as well I spose.

You can see a couple dead honeysuckle in this pic I snapped this am. This is some smaller stuff that we hit with triclopyr3, gly, 24d 2 weeks ago or so. Had tons of ivy in this area of the yard so we wanted to kill everything. Nuked it pretty good, some larger stuff I didn't get 100% foliar...

Simple to deal with - just takes some effort. Depends on size and severity of invasion.. if its fully mature honeysuckle, and a lot of it, a mulcher works great for large areas quickly. Also cut and treat stumps with triclopyr or tordon. Be careful with tordon if desirable trees in area as it...
