    MS 250 bar oil consumption

    Hold your saw with the tip of the bar close to a hard surface , and open it up full throttle . If you see a strip of oil on that surface , you are good to go . Back in the day , the oilers were adjustable !

    Let's Talk BLADES!

    I run Oregon blades on my Z-Turn , and Tractor . Standard blades all summer , and Gators in the fall . I sharpen them in a Vice , with a 4.5" Grinder , just don't heat them up , take your time .

    Zero Turn, down to two. Would appreciate the help (Cub vs JD)

    That would be an absolute "no brainer" for me . You couldn't even give me a Cub Cadet , for free. Now that being said , I have used John Deere ZTurns and Tractors for many years . Not so sure that will be the case in the future . Here in Vermont , every John Deere dealership is owned by one...
