As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
This is one of those million dollar knowledge posts worth about 100 dollars or 300 to 5000 if you have to replace an engine.
I never throw away my feed sacks whether for livestock or pets, because most are quite waterproof and I pay for them, and they are free, compared to buying a 150 dollar tarp or a thousand dollar shed.
As you can see on the red hot tiller, that I use a Purina pet food bag as the water protective cover for it. I never trust Chinamen anything and just keeping a tiller motor covered during dust and summer rain storms, makes economic sense.
Feed sacks work for just about anything from chainsaws to lawnmowers, providing you are not Darwin in trying to put them on when the engine is hot.
Some sacks like for cracked corn leak. Some like cheap generic dog food in a bag I had sitting out as that is what I feed our barn cats, took snow, melting snow, ice and rain and the pet chow was was still dry.
The nice part is, you use them, and get a new one when they wear our, or in our windstorms end up in the neighbor's fields and I pretend I have no idea where they appeared from.
You can put a great deal of survival stuff that needs to be kept dry in these bags and honestly, chances are if you have them sitting in your garage, no asshole lurker is going to be looking in an open pet food bag a they think there is old shitty pet food in that bag.
That does not help with a roto tiller as it is kind of obvious, but most people do not like to work and roto tillers are as alien as Spock as people are scared of them as the ones with engines never start and the ones with motors never seem to have enough horsepower unless they are chewing holes in you leg and feet.
There is the knowledge.
