My bucket has a DT360.. This 7.3 empty does circles around it LOL.

My old chip truck had a DTA 360 with a Manual tranny, and my current chip truck has the 444 (7.3) with an automatic. Some days it seems like the old 360 had more jam than the 7.3. Old truck had a 12 yard box and new one holds 18. A bit of a dog coming home loaded to the balls pulling the 1500 but it goes like cut cat empty. Wish I had a 466! Looks like a great truck and price was good. It will 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 worked for Four Seasons about 10 years ago. Oh, different one.

The shingles on her roof were probably only guaranteed for 15 yrs by the manufacturer.

Phone's starting to ring again. Three job bids in the past two days, got all of them (two repeat customers) Spring cleanup is just around the corner and then all hell breaks loose for the summer.

Been out with the chipper pushing it into long curving steep Chester County driveways for two days straight then smoked a J one evening and set off cleaning til about 4am then I went out and did estimates in the dark til dawn when my wife called asking what in the hell I thought I was doing then rolled out again today then gonna snuggle with these squirlets I found in a hollow cherry then at about 4am go out and salt Peabody's hill.

My wife is all pissed off about the squirrels , well actually she is pissed off she married me in the first place but she is taking it out on the squirrels. Me and my daughter just love them. A true child's dream. Their eyes are still closed but are healthy and eating though I almost cooked them with the stones I had warmed for them on the wood stove.

My wife has been worried that we would have the extra 1500 to send our kid to gym camp this summer but I am doing a removal for the owner of the camp and had told him 2500. Now there is also a bunch of other broken trees over there. It was before I knew what gym camp cost for the week.

One of her karate instructors hooked her up with sparring gear so I went to his house and cleared out a bunch of fallen debris.

Windy as Hell right now, just went and moved my truck from under that white pine and think I will nestle down, get some squirrel lovin and nod out like a junkie fer a spell.

Did a quick vid earlier on the 201 v 540....just my thoughts

I thought the sledge hammer was coming out until you placed it under the wheel A log splitter would do some nice mods to it too.

I wish I felt that way about my new 540. I tried to use it a while back for the first time. I thought maybe my help screwed up and poured dog piss in the tank instead of 2 stroke. Piece of crap wouldn't even idle. Granted it was like six degrees out, but still!! Been back on my trusty 200. Too cold out to **** around with all that. Might try it again this weekend. Kinda hard with a ripping 200 in the truck. We'll see.

I heard nothing but **** about that saw from my dealer. Said he got his demo unit, and it wouldn't even start. Rep told him to take it apart and reconnect a fuel line that probably popped off. The fitting is made of two different metals... WTF?? Also, cold weather carb config requires drilling for the plate? WTF??. All that, and it feels awkward as **** in the hand. And maybe its just me, but it feels twice as heavy as a 200 or 201.

Funny dude. You know there are tree cuters in Africa that are still using manual saws as their primary instrument, right??

I think it's kinda funny that the 201 is all beat from years of use to make him his money and then he craps all over it when it wears out. So what then? Buys a new saw but different make. How does that prove the new one is better?
