We got a kenworth log truck, 500 hp 18 speed that'll do 85 fully loaded uphill. Love that truck!

More loader highjinx, hysteria and hypertension:

Andy shows up with his finger looking like a grilled sausage and I am wanting to die because I just want to heave those ******* logs I keep talking about but the loader is supposed to be taken back.

I was thinking of calling the dude but he is at work delivering mulch under the direct supervison of the supply yard's owner's wife whose husband is layed up with a concussion and a back brace from falling off that ladder so she is being more a bitch than usual.

So me and Andy are given everything a good think when the guy rolls by apparently dropping a load of mulch down the street and we banter for a little, rehashing everything and agreeing to let me use the loader and take it back next week. So he rolls before the wife of the supply yard's owner starts getting worked up.

So I go to start it.

Good the guy came by with another delivery to tell me about the little quirk about the safety setting because the steering column needs a shot of lube. That was after I had my test light out and my brain bombarded by yet another issue. Love them issues huh?

So we managed to get two loads of logs out, just getting back now.

Plenty to keep me busy this am. Move this, move that.. set this up, go up, slash some stuff down, come down, hop on tractor, load some grindings, back in bucket. Love it!!

Pruned diplodia out of a bunch of Austrian pines. Hottest, worst day of the year yet. Had to pull out the baby powder when I got home.

Sounds like you need to run away from that loader. Why you so stuck up on this loader. There is all kinds of them for sale.

Thinking you need to go and buy something else and let that one go. Sounds like no loader is holding you back from working and that's not good. Time to move on. Go buy new, we all know Doctors make all the $$ anyway.

The wife always know when I've been powdering my downstairs cause there's an outline of my feet on the bathroom floor.

The nuns are working me like a slave. Today I have to abandon the topsoiling, and cutting and loading of the two maple sticks still standing, go down to lower entrance and do a big ash takedown.. plus prune a couple more. Oh, and we're not supposed to smoke on the property now either. Good luck with all that. Gonna have to pick it up and get this one gone the next two days. Might actually finish on schedule if I'm lucky. Hopefully no ruler.

Ha the nuns are tough for sure , I worked at a funeral home / Catholic Church last week and got an earful from the penguins about folding up the bucket and leaving sawdust on the roof , they are so polite as they get there way .

Well I have put about 10 - 12 hours on it, besides the oil leak which was supposed to be fixed the machine is pretty decent. Its still a better bet than having to travel, shop around, deal with strangers selling you their problems...

I would bet half the mini's out there for sale are worse off and cost more than this one. I saw a guy wanting over 11k for a MT-52 with just a bucket and pretty much the same hours.

I guess we will take it in later on next week. I saw the work order, it said they fixed the leak and also a few other things where on it that weren't done. 30 bucks for a hydro filter and the old one is still on the machine?

So while the owner of the machine hollers at the shop and talks to his lawyer I will be loading logs.

Oh the irony!

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

I dump two loads of spruce tree logs at Pennhurst yesterday, told the new guy I would be bringing more today and gave him my card. Go up today now he says he don't want them. I had to drive BACK across town on out to the other highway!

These are the people that used to call me begging for material? I have always hated that place, it drove the guy I knew that worked there nuts. Some local businessmen got together and bought the place cause it looked good on paper. The one guy owns a pizza shop, at the pizza shop you see him he smiles and is happy to see you, at the dirt farm he don't even pretend to like anything or anybody. Kinda got that look like he wants to kill somebody most likely himself for buying the place. These dirt farms suck and this one looks like crap with weeds grown over more than half the inventory of what appears to be compost. Its nice at the bottom 40 foot down. But I ain't buying squat from them, ****** pricks!

They get semi trailers full of pallets, pull them out and stack em 10 miles high then, I guess for added pleasure, have air filled tires on the loaders. I saw the tire guy leaving one day, they told me he charged them 400 to plug the tires, I look at the tires, all I see are plugs. All 4.

So they have no real method of checking in trucks so they get things like trash trucks dumping boulders and dirt in front of the tower of pallets. Can't move it, you'd get a flat tire.

That was years ago. I saw a brand new set of air filled tires on the machine today.

Oh I seen some of the guys they get to unload them pallets, they ain't coming back for that ********. Those trailers are packed tight ,you have be real careful not to rip the sides of the trailer. It takes a lot of work in that hot box, woof!

The whole deal is stressful as **** and these guys don't make it look easy. They tried to get me to help make mulch.

 

[treeclimber101]

Baryard find along with a 200T and a set of pole pruners HT75s they all ran after I got out the turpentine gas and changed the plugs ...... Wait for it ...... 100.00 bucks

 

[treeclimber101]

I think I'm gonna take them back and give them back I bought them with the notion that they were all fried and maybe some parts but I cleaned them and ran all 3 pieces ... I feel like **** to be honest ? What should I do and don't say sell them to me it's a honest question .....
