I noticed on the specs for that t540xp that it says it comes with a 20" bar and you can run up to a 28" bar. Does it really have the power to run bars that big?

Bought this today for 8K. 120K miles 7.3 T444 INT motor. Needs cleaning and some cab paint to match my white washed trucks, but hey, why not for 8 grand? Im thinking of adding a cpl feet to the top of the box.

That's a good deal. I beat you could get 15k for it in the right market. Those 7.3's are dogs, but get the job done.

We finished this little $900 job for this old chick today and she starts in about about a discount for some **** she claims we did to her roof back in 1995. We have never worked for her before. She drags out some pics and in the background you can see a truck marked "Four Seasons Tree Care". I told herthat is not us...that was Junior Waskom's outfit there in the background. Junior was a little quassi competion back in the ninties until he went out of business in 1999. The last I heard of him he married an Iowa hog heiress and was in the hog business. She said "Well, since you knew him you can take $300 off this job."

I went around and bid some work, and in between, stopped at every single place I could to find 22LR and 380 ammo. What the hell, A holes out buying it before it hits the shelves with backdoor deals. Bought my wife a AR style 22, that is pink cammie, she wants to go blast it, but I cannot get enough ammo, tis BS.

Sad day when .22 is scarce....

That may be fitting. I left the alligator face painted on the chute of the chipper I bought last year too.

My old chip truck had a face painted on the headboard with gigantic open mouth .... So when the chips hit just right it made me giggle !

Slowly getting ready for another round of weekend warfare here. I've been lucky to have just enough work to scrape through the end of winter $ wise. Good thing. The little bit of money felt like taking a watering can to the Sahara. Wtf.

I can honestly say my shop (both inside and out) is cleaner and more spacious than I've ever seen it (finally). Its gonna be nice to have it like that all year. Once spring comes, I'm gonna get another load of processed for the driveway and topdress and reseed my front lawn. Should be pretty tight looking.

 

[NCTREE]

Yep, time for all us freaks to crawl out and get cutting. I'd go with a 372 and 395.

I have a 372 already and a 385, I think i'm going with a 562 for now. I like the way it feels in the tree and it has plenty of power.

 

[Zale]

68 degrees today and tomorrow its going to be in the 20s with 40-50 mph winds. Can you say "WTF"?
