Hauling some downed tree limbs

Had a storm blow through.  It took out a huge oak tree.  Needless to say I have been busy the past two days cutting it up and hauling it to the street for the town to pick up.  Got to love living in a small town. 

Broke out the Stihl and went to work.  Nice to have an older truck to be able to do this.  The 2019 is still too new. :)

That looks like fun... Nice looking '02 you've got, I really liked that generation.... If you used the 2019 you could make less trips because of the bigger bed volume they've been bragging about...

No fireplace?

No, gas logs. LOL  I have a friend that heats his house with one of those whole house wood burners.  So he is coming to pick up the logs I cut up.  That Stihl worked like a champ, the only thing that broke a sweat was me. :)

... and as soon as the limbs looked at the paint on the 2019s there would be scratches everywhere. :(

Yeah if it's anything like my 2016 I'm sure that is true... When I need to haul that kinda stuff I usually use a small utility trailer...

When I had a tree taken down, they used an MS170 for all the limbing. Pretty impressive to see that little saw used in a commercial environment and holding up well.

I have an MS170 as well.  It is a little beast of a saw.  Just that this one was my high school classmate and best friend and he passed away so i bought it from his kids to help them out.  Their mom passed away 4yrs ago and it is just them, one is 18yrs old and the other 20yrs old.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
