Equipment Purchase at Trade Show

[300zx_tt]

Very odd how the Bloomsburg Fair works. They have good shows but very little communication and advertising. My dealer is about 10 minutes from the grounds. Said he got a last minute invite and very little info. Didn't even know what to bring to set up.

They usually have a pretty good gun show every year too.

My fiancé went to blooms so I was up there to visit every other weekend, I'd bring my guns and we'd shoot and I'd come up for the fair every year. I checked out the tractors and implements. I was always suprised that there was only 1 guy there that sold chainsaws. I follow woodmizer on Instagram and just happened on the post they put up from the last show ( saw the post 2 days late) I wouldn't have even known it existed if I didn't see that. As a vendor I'd want a little bit more hype for my money. If your dealer is 10 minutes down the road and he didn't even know about it, I doubt a lot of other people knew about it.

As far as gunshows go, I live ~30 minutes away from where the oaks gun show is. Usually ~1000 tables, 2 shows a year are 2500 tables. This weekend is the show actually!

Woodmizer had about 8 mills at the show. A few other brands too. It was a really good show. I just question the leadership of the fair. I think the same promoter does the Bloomsburg and Oaks gun show. I was just blown away by the equipment at the logging show. High dollar stuff that took quite an effort to transport. Wish they would've done a better job advertising to help the vendors out and bring more people to the event. I only live in Berwick and I usually hear about events by word of mouth.

Well, at least I know now. I was pretty pissed I missed the first one, but I have it on the calendar for 2019. I'm thinking about going to Vermont this year (2018). We will see what happens I suppose.

I didn't realize this year was the first for the show. Maybe I'll see about a trip to the VT show. Nice to know it'll be back here in '19.

I was looking at entry level processors. The Dyna SC12 looked great but now I'm leaning towards the Lil Beaver 13...it is around $10,000. Both have manual pull-down for the bar. I need a processor that will pick up the logs. The Lil Beaver has a shuttle deck but the price is about $3000 less than the Dyna. Their next step up, the Lil Beaver 16 has the belt in-feed and is much faster but the log lift is an option and the price quickly goes up to $16,000.

The Lil Beaver 13 seems to have a smaller footprint and looks more maneuverable around my yard...fit in my barn better etc.

Does anyone have any experience with the Wood Beaver?
