    6 months! That is quite awhile. When I was logging, my partner and I would try to shoot for a perfect Day- no hang ups, no getting pinched, no getting dull, etc. Iirc, that was achieved maybe 10-20% of the time.:|:

    Yes, like a dolly. Vegetable trailer. They drag them around the fields with tractors and then to the cooling sheds with semis.

    I think a lot of it is that I’ve never gotten to cut production, not in a hurry. Also, usually there are targets around to some extent so missing isn’t really an option, so I go slow and pay attention.

    Coleman fuel/white gas

    Have you ever had to replace any parts on yours? Mine is about 7-8 years old but has only been used a handful of times. I wondered if I need to at least inspect/lube the pump cup.

    Coleman fuel/white gas

    @treesmith Coleman fuel is extremely shelf stable. I have kept it for at least as long as you say you've had that gallon, and I have never had any trouble with it.
