Speaking of that, I used to carry 2 five gallon pails of water on each arm when I used to have to give calves water in the winter time. After ya spilled one time, ya learned to not rush haha.

It had maybe 3 or 4" of space left at the top. I bent the handle on it carrying it to the scale.

That's 160 pounds of water, Sheldon.

An 80lb bucket in each hand would feel like water to you, Sheldon.

I wish I had 2 buckets full of nails though. Much easier to carry when you're balanced out.

Oh you got that right Pete, I used to hate carrying one pail of water around to do chores! 1 pail seemed alot more ackward then 2 pails on each arm.
80 lbs in each hand is nothing to carry, but I am a pretty strong guy too.

Tsk tsk Lisa :P

theoretically 5 gal of water is 40lbs best I can remember 5 gal of 3/8 chain was 85 lbs,I thought nails would lay a little tighter

Thats the color change paint. I guess you haven't seen that before. The paint color changes depending on how the light hits the car or what angle you're looking at it. It goes from yellow to green to pink to purple.

Its gay.
it's a prius? I thought it was an expedition...

my dad left a 50 lb box of 16p nails and a couple hammers laying around...I pity the guy that cuts down the tree next to my old home...

First you have a homelite blower and now a Troy-Built trimmer.

C'mon man. Setup in the world a little. Try out a STIHL. You'll like it. And when it's still running 10 years from now long after a Troy-Built would've crapped out your wallet will thank you.

330$ will buy you a STIHL KM110 power head. So if you divide that out by the 10 years or so it will last it's only gonna cost ya 33 bucks a year to have it.

In case you can't tell I'm a STIHL nut. My STIHL toys: BR600, MS290, (2) KM110 powerheads w/full set of attachments, (2) MS460, TS400, MS210

And on another note: If anyone was ever curious what a 5 gallon pale full of nails weighed in at the answer is 70-80 pounds. I spent a lot of my day with a magnet picking up nails near our grinder.
The thing is that I already have $300+ worth of tools for that one (unless you're saying it accepts those too). Trimmer, edger, bush trimmer (not for the deck, ha-ha....), chain saw, tiller.... And all I saw at the $300 mark were 4-cycles. I'd rather stick with 2-cycle trimmers. We'll see how long this one lasts. The "cheap" $100 Ryobi lasted like 7-8 years. A bit cheaper than $33/year. LMAO!! This one was the $150 one they had on clearance for $129. Couldn't pass it up. One thing I didn't like was the same damn lines going up into the fuel tank the same way, though.

I don't know how troy-built stuff hooks in. I don't use it.

Justifying high grade stuff is easier when it makes you $ I suppose.

Question: How many pulls did it take you to start your Ryobi every time you wanted to start it?

Stone cold the KM110s take 3-5 and once they're warm you can just pull and go.

Technically the 110s are four-stroke engines. Some guys who don't know how to maintain their equipment have had problems with melting the valves and dropping them into the cylinder.

They are the guys that pull the guards off their trimmers and have 18" of line hanging off the head.
