I was wondering what happened to ya too. The last we talked was about rearmount buckets.

Sorry, I haven't been keeping a finger on the bucket market as I ended up very happy with mine. Good luck at the 20K price point, but I'll keep my eyes out for ya.

I know I'll come across one. The last one I had was a nice Altec 55WH on an International 4600/DT466 that ended up being sold to a guy in CT. Hope I can find something like that again.

Thats a shame dude similar thing happened to me 4-5 years ago. I got GBS Syndrome and it put me in an ICU for close to a year with almost another 6 months in in-patient rehab i never fully recovered wound up with nerve damage and lost some movement in my feet. But got back at it after being bankrupt and found a way out of that dark hole. About gave up but youll get it back just terrible having to start over.

hey ducaticorse... I think i bought one of your 200's with a 16" bar off ya a while back from Craigslist and a cut resistant lanyard. I remember the dog in the profile pic. Saws still running great! Glad to hear your getting back in business. I just bought a 03 vermeer 1800 with a winch and am looking for a chip truck as we speak.

I saw the post he was asking 400 and I have a few already or would have bought it. If you need help with mods pm me and I can help you out. Mine are all muff modded, timing advance and limiter caps/pin drilled out. Im north of Boston about half hour. Anyways good luck. Its a good saw when tweaked a bit. I love mine. Really has more guts when in bigger wood too.

Hey! Glad the saw is doing well by you. You came up with your GF if I'm not mistaken... 1800 is a big chipper to not a have a chip truck to blow in to lol! If you see any screaming deals on a bucket truck, keep me in mind

Yeah, that last 200 was the nicest of four I had and the last one I was holding on to.....

On the 201 I did the carb and the muffler yesterday. Not too sure about the timing though. Going to put it together today and give it a run.. Thank you for the offer of assistance! Will hit you up regarding the timing mod.

It got bad to the point of applying for assistance from the VA under the MA Chapter 15 program (Veteran in danger of becoming homeless). Thank god I qualified, because they gave me 1300 a month to pay for housing and heating oil.

I'm liking where I am right now though, things are good, and by the looks of it, there is a good chance of another large snow storm coming in on the 17th. That last infusion of snow cash will put me exactly where I need to be financially.
