Thanks. All it took was another 100k or so. All I need is unlimited bankroll and I could really make some progress. Lol
Those earmuffs are Bluetooth 4.1, so not sure if they would pair with the older models or not? I’ll have to look into it. I think they might. I remember reading something about that somewhere when looking for these, just can’t remember what or where. For now I have four of these for day to day use anyway, so in good shape there.

Did you Murph all those trees behind that barn? Glad I didn’t get that one. Wasn’t looking forward to pulling all those trees through all those vines and burning bush, big mess

right back at you.
What has the good doctor been up to?
11’ shagbark up a steep ass hill - backwards (just to see). Was a little light in the back and had to go easy, but tires stayed on the ground. That was after bringing all the brush (smaller logs) and tops up and stuffing them in the 19xpc. To say I’m falling in love with this machine is a pretty accurate description. Giant good..png "Love :heart:")
if you had the room, why not carry at 90 degrees to machine? lot more capacity i would think.11’ shagbark up a steep ass hill - backwards (just to see).

I didn’t, so I couldn’t. But yes, obviously you’re right. I was trying to see what the machine is made of too. I could’ve just driven it out sticking off the front, that would’ve made the most sense (if) I wasn’t trying to find it’s limits.

Just found out through a news article about a fatality that happened today. It involved the homeowner dying from getting backed over by a skid steer operated by an employee. This shook me for many reasons but most of all because this company was a very safe outfit. Everyone vetted, licensed, trained, sent to seminars, safety meetings, etc... I left them 13 or so years ago to go solo but maintained a close relationship with the owner because i likes the guy.
I don’t know whose fault it was but it really sucks. It makes me think about how easy something like that could happen to me. I’ve had to shutdown production numerous times in the past because of homeowners straying into the work zone or walking behind the loader when I’m backing up. You tell the old man scrounging wood rounds or
the woman gardening that they got to get the heck out the way for their safety.

That’s terrible. Sorry to hear it.
I have zero skid steer experience, but I’m guessing the visibility isn’t too great behind them.

skid steers suck with visibility. huge rear blind spot. you are light years ahead with your loader choice.
Thanks.
It’s definitely a cool machine. I look out the back and there’s like what looks like one foot of stubby clown car, and then I get working with it and realize what it really is. Pretty wild.

Any recent stories Dan? Miss the stories, especially about the horsey *******
Sorry, I am retired. I can only spew old tired tales... and "consult" of course.

You misspelt “consort”.
Don’t be hatin’. It’s actually weighted just right.. for what it is. Anything on wheels that can load that kind weight 14’ in the air is bound to take an operator with a little finesse and common sense, not just the average tard. So I guess what I’m saying is you can’t borrow it.
