Is Your Small Engine at Risk from Ethanol Damage?
Outdoor power equipment engines, including those found in lawnmowers, chainsaws, and string trimmers, are susceptible to corrosion damage caused by E10, or gasoline that contains 10 percent ethanol. E10 is common in most U.S. gas stations. While ethanol has been shown to cause damage to all engines, small engines found in outdoor power equipment run a higher risk of being damaged by ethanol due to less frequent use.
To protect your investment, use a fuel stabilizer containing an ethanol treatment with each fill-up. This is an easy and inexpensive way to you can protect your small engine from corrosive damage caused from ethanol.
Tractor Supply Co. carries an assortment of fuel stabilizers and engine treatments designed to protect your small engine from pre-mature aging.

Safety First! The chainsaw is an efficient tool. Yet it can be dangerous if used incorrectly. That’s why safety must always come first. Your clothing is a very important part of this. Even if you’re just cutting some firewood outside the back door of your house, you must use the personal protective equipment that is required in your area. Of course, protective equipment cannot prevent an accident from happening, but it can help to reduce the level of injury if one does occur.
