Mini Stihl electric pruner , comes with two heads . CEO saw it while buying the new Toro , it went like this “ oh it’s so cute ! “ I immediately knew we just had to have a cute Stihl . It goes with our mini Stihl electric chainsaw and uses same batteries . Maybe test tomorrow. Dan

Re: Yard Work - Nice Day
Lovely yard MG2. In midst of yard improvement (it never ends) on a much smaller scale still let’s me know how much labor is involved to get those results. Polite golf claps to you and the CEO.

I live in the Christmas Tree Capitol of the world and one of the biggest farmers I know went to all battery powered saws- for what he does they do just great!

Re: Yard Work - Nice Day
Thank you Paul . There is always something to do when married to a landscaper! She had me cutting up pool noodles for huge planters this morning before I got out the Stihl . Will be opening our landscape pond soon plus I will be working on the new Arbor build . Dan

Yeah, I used to absolutely love to use a chainsaw but now a days I dread it, lol
I've got some storm trees to cut up/buck up - however ya wanna say it. Be good wood for the camp fires/fire pit.
And I really dread mowing......mowed for the first time this year, yesterday. Done a good bit of weed eating today. Thinking very seriously about a new mower. I've got a Cub Cadet Ultima 50" deck......bought it new 3 years ago I think - it's a great little zero turn but, I've got probably 5 acres that I now Dan and I'm getting tired of that 50" deck man. Thinking about a new Ferris with at least a 60" mowing deck...lot of money though.
But, I spend a helluva lit of time mowing right now.

Re: Yard Work - Nice Day
If you don’t mulch at least a sixty would be my choice , especially with the amount of acres. I would compare prices of Ferris commercial and suspension models . You lucky dog ! I have mowed three times already ! Wife is great help all kidding aside . She likes her little part of yard to mow and she weed eats better than most buddies I know . What I dread is power washing all our concrete , don’t get me started about edging sidewalks ! DanMacLaren wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 6:37 pmOh wow!
