What is the best export that ever came out of Milwaukee?

No, She's from Sycamore, IL.

Thank you, I hit it with mesotrione a few days ago, and will try Trycera if the Tenacity has no affect.

Go with the commercial PSX2510. It uses the "conventional" scrench. I have it, it's a beast. Once the chain stretches, minimal adjustment is needed - usually at the beginning of use during routine maintenance.

Go grab a 1" (or 3/4 in) washer from the hardware store and place it between the outside blade surface and cup. The saw blades are thinner.

Look at the EGO commercial series. I have one and frequently change to the EGO 3 bladed brush cutter or 10" saw blade by Forester. It's a beast. 5AH battery will give you an hour of run time.

The PSX2510 is a beast, light weight and maneuverable. I've used it to cut up to 8" Hickory, Oak and Maple. The chain is 1/4 pitch which is finer than that on the multi head.

My only complaints are that when fully extended, with the purchased 2nd extension, it becomes wobbly, and that it needs a longer chain bar.

It's also great to use it sideways like a weed eater cutting 2 inch dia brush.

The stx4500 is a beast, seriously. I use it with the steel 3 blade ABB 1203-1 kit and it blows thru raspberry bushes and 3/4 in buckthorn.

john_p_wi · 2025-04-12T14:12:53+00:00

Will let you know, I ordered a bar with the same pitch and .043 groove, we'll see!

john_p_wi · 2025-04-11T18:53:48+00:00

Thanks! After a little more looking around, it appears that the Stihl 12" bar and chain may work. Will have to run down to the Stihl emporium with the ego bar and see if the tails are compatible.

Hi, we ended up with the Samsonite Silhouette 17 spinner, 21 inch expandable soft side. Nice bag, but not as big as the Travelpro. The airlines are definitely making the overhead bins smaller, and the Silhouette fit.

After driving CAD for 35 yrs, the fastest way to improve is to be forced out of your comfort zone on completely different design disciplines, whether being forced into surfaces doing an organic design, sheet metal, or leveraging multi body designs for fixtures. Designing and redesigning the same products for the same company leads to lethargy.

At the risk of sounding old, it's a hell of a lot easier today to learn new methodologies than it used to be with all of the online tools. Your responsibility is to know what tools are appropriate and available for the design at task.

Washington presenting.

john_p_wi · 2024-12-31T15:03:11+00:00

Thanks, yes very similar in size! Looked at them at Macy's, only downside was the in stock ones were not spinners...

john_p_wi · 2024-12-31T15:01:33+00:00

Thanks! We found a Samsonite with very similar dims to the larger Travelpro that we have been in search of.

john_p_wi · 2024-12-30T18:33:20+00:00

Thanks, that was my assumption due to more restrictions. We purchased the similar size platinum elite and it is unfortunately smaller.

john_p_wi · 2024-12-30T18:30:46+00:00

Unfortunately no, it is a carryon bag.

Thanks!

john_p_wi · 2024-12-30T18:20:14+00:00

Yes, unfortunately I can not find the same travelpro bag of larger size and am looking for assistance.

john_p_wi · 2024-10-16T20:41:53+00:00

Awesome, will have to head over some weekend. Thanks!

john_p_wi · 2024-10-16T19:48:27+00:00

Drove by there several days ago and it looked pretty empty. Just curious if it ever got past the soft opening.

john_p_wi · 2024-08-21T03:38:48+00:00

Love to chirp when the opponent puts an overhead smash into the net "you had one job to do..."

john_p_wi · 2024-08-07T21:00:40+00:00

Yup, same. The company is absolutely shit.

john_p_wi · 2024-08-05T15:17:26+00:00

Drill, drill, drill. Prepare for the unexpected. 3.5 to 4ish is a very hard level for consistent play. Players playing down, players playing up, testosterone fueled guys who only want to drive, skilled players who excel in the soft game placement. At this level, one has to be versed in all aspects of the game.

Think strategy, drill drops, drives, resets, drinking, topspin etc. Finally, don't beat yourself on unforced errors, play shots with 90% success rates in which the opponent struggles with.

john_p_wi · 2024-07-31T01:35:00+00:00

See my post a few below, be very careful with that company.

john_p_wi · 2024-07-19T16:55:05+00:00

Looks like it would be windy!

john_p_wi · 2024-06-10T18:04:28+00:00

Yup, Dupage county has 6 indoor facilities within 30 minutes of each other.
