We are going to be in the firehose stream in the next couple hours, just dumped a bag in the pellet stove.

Do you have backup power for the pellet stove? I hope you do. The wind has let up here.

Changed the hyd fluid in the tractor. Dropped the drain plug & heard the dreaded clunk x4.

So, I got to haul the damn thing to Terrebonne.

DO NOT buy a TYM tractor.

I've been reading the owners manual (this is my first spankin new saw) turns out I've been doing just about everything wrong... apparently the second recommended method of starting is to clamp the power head between your legs and briskly pull the starter cord, that just sounds dirty... and more dangerous with a high compression saw, and I'm not supposed to pour gasohol all over the the place will smoking a cigar... who knew...:msp_confused:

Hahaha. Yeah, I think you should try that between the legs starting method. I tried it once, but you go ahead and try it and let me know how it worked for you.
