Dont cry, just do it
Thought about having them wash my equipment. Do they do a good job?

I'd be worried some stoner would blow a hyd line off or partly.

If it got just a little past dusk and this damn cat ran in front of you and you veered 3 feet over the curb...well, just sayin.

I hate it when people don't grease their ****. I stopped my uncle in law in the middle of digging a pool to grease his machines. Then took them back to the shop and pulled 3 pins out that were caked with dirt and fixed Em. Drives me nuts.

On the spur of the moment I traded my old winch truck for a Bobcat MT 50 to have a second machine. It was 5 or 6 years old and had appropriate hours on it. I even reluctantly gave some cash too. I had bought stuff from the retail business owner before as he buys and sells stuff to make any additional buck. Went to change the oil and it had the original filter on it. I got rid of it as it was a tank but it also didn't run full comp. Last time I buy from him.
Full comp?

That's makes much more sense. How did you come across that deal? What engine does it have? A tow behind is a great thing as long as you have access.

Planet fitness was in the news over here. Some perv put video cameras in the locker room. Some real sickos go there.
Gotcha. Was still waking up on this lovely day.
I smacked that maple down in an hour and 45. Rigged another smaller maple underneath it into it with the BS, then pulled it off the stump with the tractor winch, and dragged it out to stuff in chipper. That opened up the questionable side so I had a spot to rig. Used the lowering line to pull through the wraptor rope, and the rest was history. Pretty cool job. Always nice to hear the sound of brush swishing as its getting dragged off to the chipper. Reminds me of old times.

Eddie Buck knew I was in the market and hooked me up. Was a buddy of his going through a divorce or something. 77hp Deutz. Nasty. I'd like a self propelled some day but at this point just wanted cheap horsepower.

Anyone care to take a stab at what this chipper is worth? Last year we painted it, put in new bearings and shaft. New belts and rebuilt the 110 horse cummins. Only been used a handful of times since then. Receipts for all parts on file. Fires up and runs like a champ. 1997 200xp. No idea on the hours.
12k?

I was hoping that number was at the low-end of our spectrum. Would like to see about 15. Not sure if it will pull that much though.
You could try for 15. All depends on how long you wanna sit on it, I guess. The way your raking it in, I would think 3k is like chump change. Lol

Best gym in the world for only $10 per month. So many treadmills a city could go there and still have some open. I lift at home and at the Y. Didn't think softies like guitar players would be familiar with gyms. Hey if a guy wants to put some cams in the woman's locker room doesn't sound like the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.
