Now that's a great pic!
Love that point of view.

Got my new ramps in today, 12' long, rated to 12klbs/axle, 20klbs on rubber tracks, 102lbs each.

By comparison my old ramps were 10' long, ~5klbs per axle, and 250lbs each!

Nice, Carl. Some co-workers coming along....

 

[squisher]

Those suckers are so light Carl probably had them there to load them. Lol

 

[flushcut]

Are those ramps from Discount Ramps?

 

[lumberjack]

Haha the boy can lift one end, although walking would be tough (he weighs 56lbs). I've seen him dead lift just under 70lbs with one hand.

Yep, discountramps.com.

Upgraded the larger stumper today. I'm going to miss the old tow behind vermeer.

 

[rskybiz]

Congrats!

 

[mccauleytree]

Wow, that stumper is awesome! I am jealous! Congrats on the purchase.

 

[NHlocal]

Oh yeah, that'll get the job done.
Congratulations!

 

[FJR]

Thanks guys, it has been a long time coming.

Mike, you are welcome to come and run it any time you want!

How much did it end up costing? I am looking for the same machine

Thanks Fred! Maybe one day I can travel around and work with some different companies! Best of luck with the new machine.

Sweet machine Fred! You're in IL right?

 

[cory]

Great looking machine, how many hp's?

Are you a "Carlton guy" or is this your first one?

Is that a remote controlled machine or do you stand by it.

It was a demo with 27 hours, 52k.

Yep Adrian, about 50 miles outside of Chicago.

Cory, it has a 66hp kubota motor. I traded in our old vermeer 665b that my dad had bought brand new in 95'. That machine had a bigger motor but I was tired of dumping money into it. I really like what Carlton has out there now, and I have had good luck with our smaller Carlton with a 27hp Kohler. We have a great dealer in Alexander Equipment which is really important to me too, I can't say enough good things about them.

Welcome to the TreeHouse, Winetree! Got a first name? Mine is Butch.

Welcome!

 

[PCTREE]

Ive been wanting to try out that grinder wheel, let us know how you like it.

 

[lumberjack]

Nice, Fred!!


Next week I should be trading in and receive my new machine to take pictures of. :cool:

 

[woodworkingboy]

Good luck with the new gear, Fred. A machine like that must make a boring job less so, or maybe more boring done in a day.
