Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

You Husky guys are really bad influences...

Now I'm looking at Husqvarna rifles!

I guess guns are ok as long as your not looking at these.

Hey now, the Mrs could use a good sewing machine!! LOL

Saw a guy offering up a Husqvarna 8000 in .30-06 (my favorite .30 caliber cartridge). It definitely sent me down a rabbit hole this morning. They appear to be great bolt action rifles.

Maybe she'd like one of these.

Nah, she wants a 4wheeler.

I have a 450 foreman I'll be listing.

Hmmmm.... Come on stimulus check! LOL

I've heard the husky dirt bikes are actually pretty nice.

Yep, so are the KTM's.
I buy a lot of Honda quads/dirtbikes because they sell themselves, they are great bikes.
We currently have the 450 foreman, TRX90, TRX70, crf50, I need to clean the carb on the 50 and get that one listed. The 90 is my boys and he can sell it if he wants to buy whatever he would like, the 70 is my daughters and she owns that one just as my boy does the 90. I was trying to trade my son the iPad for his quad messing with him, he was ready to go for it until I told him I paid 300 for the iPad and showed him that there was only a few TRX90's on craigslist and the cheapest was 1000, he quickly stopped telling me how good of a trade it was. They have to learn how to do their due diligence early on .

That's awesome! You're a good papa for teaching them right.

I love Hondas and Suzukis. Had both as a kid. My last "bike" was a 400EX. loved that thing! Like a dummy, I traded it off for a rifle and cash (which, the cash funded a family vacation to GA, so I can't complain). We need a 4x4 4wheeler now here on the farm. That, or a SXS. The wife doesn't like the SXS idea, so 4wheeler it is. I know it will make dragging deer out of the woods easier on me! LOL

Funny thing... my wife bought a sowing machine. I showed her how to use it.

High school home economics... that's where the hot chicks were.

I don't ever remember giving them permission to show me riding my bike!

You should take a broom with you next time!

Thanks, they should learn these things sooner or later, but most schools don't teach them . Ask many college kids how many mpg their cars get and the say I get 2.. miles from full to half, no how may mpg, if they don't have a lie-o-meter that says 22.5 mpg they can't figure it out .
I like my Suzuki's too.
I have enough parts to build a couple in the basement, I sold the 1000gsxr motor I was going to swap into one of these chassis' when we first moved in here 10yrs ago to pay off some debt related to buying this place, gotta do what you gotta do right . I figured I could buy another one anytime I wanted/had the cash, but I knew I wouldn't be building any for a while without a garage, I'm getting closer to the garage now though.
Those 400ex's are fast bikes. I like the foreman's, the newer ranchers are nice and have power steering which is great, they also have a 2wd/4wd switch which helps save the yard if you are turning sharp on it, 4wd will tear it up especially if you have a more aggressive tires.
This is the first GSXR 750 I owned.

One of the middle one's lol.
This is the last one I built right after we bought this place, the boy has grown a little since then .

Me and a couple of buddies were the first guys they let in home ec. We got warned pretty early about what brownies not to make.

Nice, but I think I've seen some of those videos .

Cool!

I really like the plastic bin on this as it’s really forgiving. You can drop things in it in the plastic just gives instead of bending. Very durable. And use it as a wheel barrel to move lots of dirt/mud and what not to.

Only reason the wheel fell off is the hub actually broke off of the wheel. It’s my fault as I switched out two of the wheels with harbor freight solid wheels (no air). I was having issues with the tubes leaking in the OEM wheels.

The HF wheel broke[emoji58]. Go figure.

Send it back to china .
I have one for parts here if you need some spares.

 

[mountainguyed67]

Compared to my 32cc Makita it's huge lol

I have a 45.6cc and a 76.5cc, I don’t use the smaller one much. We have bigger trees than back east people are used to, plus I’m spoiled by the faster speeds getting through the wood. I volunteer with the Forest Service, some of them have told me about their experiences going on fires in Colorado. They show up with 36” bars on their saws, and the Colorado fire crews are kinda stunned and asking “what’re you doing with such long bars on your saws?”. Ha ha.

Beautiful bikes @chipper1

Well, like I said on Sunday. The wife and kids stacked up the wood pile for me. It went further than I thought. One or two more loads with my little trailer and I think she'll be full.
