When we were looking for a loader we checked those out. They are cool. We ended up with a bigger articulating loader so we could use all of our full size attachments that we already had. The smaller ones are great for brush but when you had to move logs you were limited.

 

[Koa Man]

It can lift 700 lbs. I have had not even come close to tipping it, but I don't go making fast turns either. If you are carrying a big load, remember that when you turn, the weight carrying capacity will diminish the more you turn. Take your turns slow and wide if possible.

BTW, darkstar, I tried calling you a couple of times but only got your voice mail. I did leave a message each time.

 

[sotc]

700 pounds my dingo lifts nearly twice that, just not as high

I don't know how you guys do it with these mainland prices.. I pulled down a min. of $1000 a day in Hawaii and I never got close to buying one of those...

 

[lumberjack]

On a bad day I bring home $700 working by myself in podunk MS.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's awesome, Carl. I don't come close to that.

 

[SkwerI]

Yeah Carl, I want lessons on how to do that.

 

[lumberjack]

I might have a tad more overhead

However, it'll be sweet when I'm paid up.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Your overhead? I thought you said that was your take home pay.

 

[lumberjack]

Yeah Carl, I want lessons on how to do that.

You don't like hauling debris, so I dunno!

 

[tntree]

dark, you will love that machine once you get some time on it. You got her for a good price. good for you!!

 

[darkstar]

Carl is God .
He know everything about everything.
He makes the best money for the min. work.
He does his homework and always has correct answers.
Carl you are the frigging man.
Also, he will out shoot you and eaisily take out and entire swat team.
He will also show those idiot swat members how to re load , and re load for cheap.
If you get any advice from carl i suggest u you use it ,,, Seriously.
No im seriously ,,being serious .
Al said it best " Darkstar is a brick shy of a full load, very true,,,,so dont take my word for it.
Anyhow Carl Knows....

 

[SkwerI]

Jerry, Al never said you were a brick shy of a full load. He said you were 3 french fries short of a happy meal. Get it straight!

 

[darkstar]

Oh crap.
Dave my grapple is here, he is sweet.
We may actually , seriously use the bollard and lift the entire machine.
We have an unusually large tree tomorrow.
That bollard will hold anything , its BOMBER

 

[sotc]

i thought he was the full 6 pack, only missing the little plastic thingy to hold it all together

 

[Wagnaw]

I seriously wish I had a loader. ...maybe the first thing I get after I get all the taxes paid

 

[squisher]

I dunno about down there but up here it would work like this. Buy a loader to avoid paying taxes.

 

[Wagnaw]

True. I won't be buying it out right. I want to get an idea of my budget next year though before I go spending too much. ...then I'll go spend too much.

 

[squisher]

Damn all you responsible youths hanging out here.

 

[Newfie]

I dunno about down there but up here it would work like this. Buy a loader to avoid paying taxes.

It works that way here. I'd rather buy a piece of equipment and pay on a note and make money with the iron rather than paying a big chunk of profit to uncle Sam in taxes for no return on investment.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Don't worry Squishy, when I went into business for myself, I was 100k+ in the hole within three months, and after a seriously under-capitalized first summer, I near tore my arm off. Lot's of struggling ensued. Still struggling in fact. All educations are expensive, just some you don't have to go to college for.

 

[brendonv]

I too dove in head first 2 years ago. Never woulda thought I could afford what I have today. Buy the machine to make the most money in the least amount of time.

 

[arborworks1]

Andrew, Buy the equipment. Make life easier, who knows you might be like LJ and be able to do it all by yourself.

Buy a small loader and rent when you need something bigger.
