Having some cash on hand when a deal comes along is a GOOD thing!

Here is our new to us chipper truck. 1998 International 4900, dt466, 6 spd fuller transmission. Has 115,000 miles on it. The body is about 5 years old and the truck is in awesome shape. The only thing I am going to do is paint the wheels, not a fan of that yellow.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Very nice! Large!!!

Very nice! Large!!!

Thanks! It is a little bigger than we wanted but it was too good of a deal to pass up.

2005 Brush bandit 1290H 15'' chipper. Not as big as most companies but it gets the job done. Almost bought a 16'' woodsman last week but chickened out at the last second. We just couldn't part with the money especially over winter.

Picked up a pair of Mountain Hardware pants today at the mall. Normally go for $100, got mine on sale for $65.

A lot like the canopy pants by arborwear. Heard a lot of good stuff about MH, figured I'd give it a go.

My pallet from Bailey's landed today

10 rolls of chain, 23 dozen Hardhead wedges, 4 dozen logger socks and then all the fun stuff for climbing.

Not a day too early, we were running seriously low on chain.

Wow Stig, I do believe that qualifies as the be all end all order and shipment for the OCGD thread. $$$$

 

[simplypete]

The bat cave just got restocked.

 

[Burnham]

I think I see some more of those RE Pirates you claim to dislike??

 

[squisher]

Wow! Nice Stig.

Nope, They are "Climb rights" http://www.baileysonline.com/itemdetail.asp?item=85252&catID=1407

Just something for the apprentice to start out with untill he find out what he prefers.

There is a set of Klein spurs and a wire core lanyard for him as well, that should see him fully equipped to start working in the tree tops.
Once the logging season is over, that is.
I require them to have a full season of logging under their belts, before they get to use a chainsaw aloft.
Seen too many examples of bad saw handling in trees.

Not too many $$$ actually, Paul.
About 12,500 worth plus another 1,500 for shipping.

Since most stuff is somewhere above twice as expensive here, it works out real well for us.

 

[Paul B]

I suppose the costs of tools are relative to the business at hand. If you need Silky blades, let me know if I can quote a price for you.

 

[Burnham]

Ah, thanks Stig.
