I sure wish we had that kind of buckets here.
It looks way more efficient than what we use.

I just turned a live oak into a work of art in one of those.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice Brendon!

 

[rskybiz]

Just in today

These well just plain wore out!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Nice! In that lower picture it looks like you stole my boots!

 

[rangerdanger]

Don't have a pic, but picked up a new Stihl BR600 today Little hand held finally gave out and I convinced Dad to spring the extra cash. Already saved us a good 20 minutes of work today!

 

[bonner1040]

Don't have a pic,

Didnt happen.

 

[brendonv]

Throw away the rakes, you won't need those anymore!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Hey Joel... you could always donmate those old ones to a logging museum

 

[rskybiz]

I think if I donated my old boots it would be the wesco's that held up reliably for 4 yrs. Two sets of soles and the leather is still good, I debate about having them refrerbished again!

 

[bonner1040]

THats a wishlist item for sure, Wescos... One day I will get some highliners.

 

[flushcut]

I would get some sooner than later good boots are well worth the money and your body will tank you.

What size do you wear? I've a pair of size 12's that have been rebuilt once and are in good shape. Since my crushed foot I can't wear 12's anymore...

 

[bonner1040]

My redwings are allright, plus when I mentioned that the sole had a microscopic slit in it they gave me a brand new pair and mentioned that my old ones would be in a box next to the dumpster...

Basically I bought a new pair of boots, went back to the store 2 weeks later with a friend and got a free pair for walking in the door. My boots were really muddy and I think the saleslady just wanted me to take them off so she wouldnt have to vacuum the whole store. $200 bucks for nothing though!

I am a size 12 actually.

 

[rskybiz]

I have not come close with any boot holding up as well period.

PM me your address and I'll send them off to you. You can pay the postage/plus whatever you think they're worth when you get them. Sound good?

 

[bonner1040]

Thats a mighty generous offer!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I can't wear them anymore and they have plenty of life left in them. I paid 300 then another 225 getting them rebuilt. No use for them to just waste away.

 

[rskybiz]

The Treehouse rocks!

 

[bonner1040]

Crazy right? Thanks MB!

 

[MasterBlaster]

De nada, esa!

My dad and I bought a new trailer yesterday. We had a 7k lb but so but we wanted to get something a little better built so we upgraded to a 10k lb equipment trailer. Here it is this morning before we headed out.

 

[FJR]

Very nice, Mike.

We have a very similar setup with a cronkhite trailer. I am going to be putting two new 8k axles, decking, and paint on it soon. Small Carlton grinder with mini-skid and grapple go almost everywhere with us. Do you prefer the ball over pintle?

 

[mccauleytree]

Thanks Fred! This is the the setup that goes everyday with me. I am afraid to leave home without it! I really do not have a preference with the ball or pintle. My chipper is a pintle which is towed with my international but the trailer is a ball and that is towed by my 350, but I really cannot notice a significant difference between the 2.
