@@timwilson3124 thanks! Lights are definitely on the to do list.

@@changeyourenergy708 thanks!

@@sydneypenniesr.9474 thanks! Edging with a trimmer is great for maintenance but sometimes you really need to cut the edges out and this does a great job at it. Thank you for commenting!

@@FloridaBackwaters I am planning on a more comprehensive followup. Some good, some bad.

@@whitzach thanks! It's a real nice machine. My go to for snow removal.

That's great to hear. Thank you for your support! Now if we could just get them to carry replacement parts in-store.

Thank you! I dont currently but I may need to do some investigation to see what options there are if any.

@@Charliemmafan I don't currently have a recommendation besides the OEM but I noticed the same problem in mine. I use the 0.095 orange line and can only get about 6 feet of line in there.

@@SF-fm7ov Ouch! I didn't catch that, but I know he's super aware of the jobsite and grew up farming himself. It is really important around equipment to always know what's going on around you.

Yeah, I've been meaning to do that since everyone's suggesting it. Can't wait to see if it has a positive effect.

Youre welcome. I wasnt sure myself at first because there was only 1 thread showing on the shaft and it was kinda hard to tell the pitch.

Thanks for commenting

Gotta keep the bad stuff in there too! I knew it was too muddy, I just got cocky I guess.

I thought it could make it through to get across to do some trail work on the other side. It's a good thing I got stuck before I got into the drink.

Thanks! I'm realizing some of things too. I've heard about the reservoir leaking oil. Not sure if that's true yet, but the other day I realized the reservoir was empty. So either it leaked in my truck bed or it uses a good amount of oil. So keep an eye on it for sure. I've also ran into a couple times where it didn't seem to cut to well at a reach. So the verdict is still out on it but it has been very useful for a couple of tasks I've been putting off due to lack of this type of tool.

You're welcome. Yes, mine doesn't load string very easily itself. I use the thicker 0.095 line and the spool only takes 6 feet or so of line.

Yep, I'm only making the shaft stationary and spinning the head counterclockwise by hand. There is thread locker so it takes a little bit of elbow grease to break it free. Good luck

I want to make sure I'm doing this right. So the screwdriver is only making contact with the shaft and is in the slot of the shaft? Because I'm using WD-40, had it soaking for about 15 minutes in WD-40 and it won't budge. I'm ready to take a multitool to it and cut it off😮‍💨

@@smjohn4640 you got it right but I found it essential to use that larger flathead when breaking it loose just to give you that extra leverage and resistance.

Thanks heading to Home Depot ​for bigger screwdriver. Will let you know how it goes

You're welcome. Just showing my mistakes so others can avoid them.

Yep, worked better than I thought it would when I first had the idea.

Thanks! Slowly but surely it got done.

@@tractorstrailsandlivingfree I've done a ton, your install was text book!

@@sirifimayWith all that experience, coming from you, it's an honor.

I didnt know that they were compatible so maybe most electric trimmer heads will be? Thanks for watching and commenting!

Here is the video I did for the Speed Feed 400 on a Kobalt 80v. You do have to retap the threads on the Green or Gold adapter. I used a flat head adapter on a racket to get mine loose. I think you get a little more leverage that way. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLt1qNqanNy3p2Q.html

Don't know that yet. I need to source those though so that this isn't a disposable. Thanks for commenting Bill!

Thanks. Are you referring to the way I was clearing the bucket after dumping it? I want to know what to look out for.

I believe you might be right on that. I rarely put it in high range but was trying to minimize travel time between point A and B on this one. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks Matt. Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, these machines are real backsavers and timesavers and they allow me to do jobs that I just can't or really don't have the desire to do by hand anymore. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

You're welcome! Glad it helped. Thank you for watching and commenting!

You can reach quite a ways up if you're willing to stretch it. I figure anything higher than that doesn't need cutting yet.

Thanks for the comments! I agree as well. I now have the 80v trimmer, edger, polesaw, and blower, and most recently added the 40v hedge trimmer (since they don't have an 80v version I guess). Quite the collection I've accumulated over the past 2+ years.

@@tractorstrailsandlivingfree What out doors man can resist buying tools. Harbor freight is like a candy store. I think Atlas tools are really well built.

@@aljay2955 thanks! I'm not too disappointed with them at this point and I have 5 different Atlas tools now. There are a couple issues but they are a good value for what you're getting.

Appreciate it! Previous commenters informed me of this so I know I made this harder than it had to be.

Thanks! It's fun to operate even though it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of my subcompact.

@@tractorstrailsandlivingfree BTW, I have that same blade for mine!

The powered 4-way is the way to go. Moves snow like a dream.

Thanks! It came out about as good as I could've hoped for. Now to see if it will do the job.

I hadn't heard that about the 420 (very nice tractor btw). Gotta love the local hardware store for those odd one off parts and pieces that you don't want to buy a whole box of. Thanks for watching and commenting!

You're very welcome! There are several reasons why knowing how to remove this can come in handy. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!

Thanks! We're coming down the home stretch.

You're welcome! Glad I could demonstrate the best way to do this for you. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks! I had a freind who found that 430 series and recommended your maintenance videos. I will definitely ve checking those out.

Thanks for the support Dennis! I have been through Loudonville many times in my life so I know the area. I am in North Central Ohio so west of your area.

Thanks Lou. I've worked in construction all of my adult life and I've seen some of those companies really take care of their trucks. I just want to make sure that I can use them again and again.

I drive truck that is very Appreciated Don't take much to mess up mirrors and tarp

Thanks again!

Thank you for the support!

Thank you! My daughter is very talented and dedicated with that kinda stuff.

Thank you! I've realized patience is the key. You will gain and you will lose some but it WILL hapoen.

Thanks! Elaborate please. My wife and I are reading Judges right now. Very interesting book.

Gideon was facing an army of close to 3o,000 l of some enimy that were giving the Isrelites a bunch of grief.... God told him that the men he had to many, because with that many the Isralites would claim victory instead of giving God the praise,, so he told Gideon, to sent home any that were afraid to fight..... All that were left was 10;000. God said still to many, to take those that remain to drink from the river...... All those who drank directly from the river..... to sent hem Home-------------- that left 300.... ..... He gave each a container with a candle in it..... they surrounded the camp, screamed the battle cry, and the disoriented enemy ran.... I became less involved with You Tube When right after the 2016 election the Then CEO of the platform was videoed telling her employees, that they were going to try and make sure that never happened again...... that along with who and what they support put my fire out..... The praise from men is Temporary The Praise from GOD is ETERNAL !!!

You are right on all accounts and I appreciate your position on it. It's important to be realistic. I would never want to have to rely on this for my sole sustenance and it could go away in an instant. My discernment is where blessings are not of God, a moral compromise is required. As long as I don't have to compromise my morals, then I give God the glory for the blessings.
