Roberte.. do you ever use your 850's anymore? Even just for kicks? I have a 10-10s pro and a 6-10 I use every now and then just to keep them limbered up and going. I cut a lot with the 10-10 when I was in my teens and early twenties.

Yes, but there the sp 81s , great f:censored: saw.
 
cat, ya really got to know the individual, there is guys I won't work with no matter what [some I related to] on the other hand I have cut timber on the most funny people around here. by and large ya generally better off on yer own job. but you know this guy, we don't. you know the answer.
 
Roberte I know that you once told me to never pass up work but....... My neighbor came over today wanting to know if I would skid for him on an 85 acre piece. I told him that I wasnt really interested and use my machine needing work done on it as an excuse. This guy has a reputation for being shady and sue happy. I figured it best to just leave it alone and say my dozer needs work done on it. I would rather not get into something where Im not getting paid. How do you handle those types of situations?

Yes I did say that, I also said if a deal smeels it does. Go with your gut. If you have financial capital maybe, but unless your prepared to lose it , don't. You know there is a reason certain people have the rep they do.
 
Yeah. Im not going to do it. To small to not get paid. I forgot to tell ya that the shifting valve on the 8 has to come out. Its leaking worse than ever now. Needs new O-rings on the plungers.
 
you got that book right? any good hydro shops around case ya get in trouble?

Yep got the book. It doesnt look to bad to get out .. just about a dozen lines to mark and unhook, a distribution manifold to remove and then the valve should come right out. Yeah there is plenty hydro shops around. Fluid Power and Power Drives up in Buffalo.
 
I don't know your market back there, but that sounds inexpensive.
Most equipment with an operator, runs $110 and up around here.

It would be a stretch to get that much here for a D6 and an operator. No one around here wants to pay much.
