BOXER bought out

[lumberjack]

Not sure with the new emissions, but I would guess around $100k with 325hp.

small change...

 

[woodworkingboy]

A nice depreciation off your tax return, Nick.

 

[bonner1040]

If I could write that off it would cover 3 years of income!

 

[lumberjack]

That's depressing.

 

[bonner1040]

Thanks Carl... Maybe I exaggerated a bit.

 

[lumberjack]

Hopefully! )

I did not see mikes new set up - did Bandit build that for him? Slick set up

 

[rangerdanger]

Bandit did indeed build it, I remember reading about that set up in an article from Bandit.

 

[lumberjack]

I'm not sure who built it, but I'm nearly positive he didn't build it himself.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

Yes, Bandit did it for him.
I found the article (really interesting):

Great find!

Morbark buys Boxer and a few days later Bandit announces they will have their own mini skids later this year. Love the competition!

 

[Dave Shepard]

It's not just competition, it's a family feud.

It's not just competition, it's a family feud.

Yup. Woodsman, Dynamic, Bandit and Trelan all have ties to Old Man Morey.

Good article on Mike, went and worked with him years back - freakin amazing Crane

ahhh I'm so flattered, wish I could of taken that Idea to the bank,

curious to see a newly designed bandit mini or who they most likely they cop. .er i mean "resemble"
or did they private label a brand?

My family also has ties, but there is no feuding. My grandfather was one of the very first Morbark salesman selling debarkers in New England and Canada. His brother was VP of Morbark. I think this was in the '50's. I now live in my grandfathers house, and there is a closet full of bottles that Morey would send him every Christmas.
