Yea that would not be safe. Especially as I imagine how you fly mowing. LOL Although I wouldn't mind blocking out everything and have crisps clear music via Bluetooth streaming to my brain directly LOL I get that. ( Cochlear Nucleus 6 ) upgrading to N7 soon so I don't need accessories. Understood, sounds like great upgrade.

I know they have some for certain models of redmax but in my eyes ( if it works on one it should work on all? )

Customized

So, I took a trip out to the dealer as I had some questions anyway, for starters the first oil change should be done at 10-15 hours
Next, the uneven handles... just push real hard and bend it LOL well apparently the screws holding the bars to the adjustable brackets needed a little tightening but also the teeth sometimes don't match up and the bars need to be bent a bit... ah, got it all lines up now ! stops are adjusted and the lap bars are evened up, tracks straight as an arrow with no creeping. I am extremely happy with this purchase and funny it costs a tad more than the HHR...lol

So now, how do we customize these things?
Does that make your yard s no chipmunk/squirrel/rabbit/woodchuck zone?

The Wifey would like it that way as she wants me to build her a huge garden enclosure to keep the deer / rabbits out... I told her I would take care of the deer but she wont allow me here LOL I really want this bad boy here, he runs all the others off and hogs the feeder every night, We get about 12 big bucks here and this boy is massive ! The does are all really good sized here too.

We are surrounded on 3 sides by a creek running to the river. We get a ton of wildlife here
Deer, Beavers, Red Foxes, Deer, Turtles, Rabbits, Squirrels of all sorts, Tons of birds ( Humming, woodpeckers and other odd ones ) Raccoons. After a rain we can go out and see all the paw prints in the mud too.
Now my birthday falls on the 14th and my son is the 27th so momma bear said we will celebrate them both on the 23rd with a big BBQ !
Do you think this will work? ( Just so you know, I only use Charcoal and have a massive grill ) But this is a steak to die for !

I climbed down into the creek trying not to fall into the pond... Cut out all the over growth and brush on the steep banks as the neighbors and their kids like to look at the fish when they walk by... Besides I was tired of all the trash getting caught in the overgrowth down there. Spent all day out there then hauled all the brush to the back of the property and dump it. Next I got out my backpack blower, since it has been getting hard to start I thought Id check the air filter WHAT?! the carb was loose as a Goose ?? So got out the tools and pulled it, the carb mount on the motor was loose so I snugged it down and put the carb back on, started on the first pull again !!! Im back in business ….
Now I am hurting but need to make dinner before I take my pain meds and relax. Injuries suck !

Bonez- Now that steak has my mouth watering. And a early Happy Birthday to ya..

Why do you want to change the wacker head if you haven't even ran out the 1st load of string ?
I think the Speed Feed would fit your Redmax threads, but if the spacer is correct, IDK.
