WTB; GRCS

[Porkbrick]

Now, i know there's just about no way any of y'all have a GRCS you are willing to part with, but i thought id throw this out there before i pull the trigger just in case. cheers. jaime

 

[MasterBlaster]

Used???

I don't think there's such a critter...

 

[Porkbrick]

just had to check anyway. you never know. probably order on mon.

 

[pigwot]

I can make you what would look pretty much like an accurate reproduction out of papier-mâché (if you stand about a hundred yards away and don't squint)...
...but buying the real McCoy is where it's at! Go for it; you'll not regret the purchase.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Not something lightly given up by a tree guy

 

[Porkbrick]

ill have to consider the paper mache, tho i do work in the rain...

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Shellac?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Seriously!

I wonder if ANY active treeguy's ever sold his GRCS and went back to a porty?

I bet not!

 

[lumberjack]

I'm considering selling mine, we haven't needed it in near two years best I remember.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Heck, it sounds you never should have bought it: you must not have been using a friction device very much at all. I'd sell anything I wasn't using.

 

[woodworkingboy]

I should probably sell my 880.... Only because I have an 090.

 

[Altissimus]

... I looked and looked for used one ... found two on the Buzz, missed as both were QUICKLY sold ... long run there wasn't a huge savings anyways, threw down full price after the ice storm. Like most people say it doesn't go out every day, but when you need it it is THE tool! ... PS I still use my Portowrap quite often, alalone or even with the portowrap. Also Gregg Good will stand behind your new purchase, and there has been small design changes from the original.

If that consideration should turn to determination, do let me know, kind sir.

first in line

 

[lumberjack]

Haha be nice, I have to get it from Scott first!

 

[sotc]

Scott has possesion, guess its his

 

[okietreedude]

i bought mine off ebay several years ago. sniped it from another tree guy, dont remember who, someone from the buzz i think. you could search there and save it so if someone posts one, you get notified of the listing.

 

[Bodean]

Possession is 99% of ownership....

I have the "Removal Visor" still in the box if you want that too, for a small price.

 

[treesmith]

Well, it might be "ownership", but the GRCS is gone from my house, alas......I guess I'll just have to buy my own, IF I ever come up on a job that would justify it. I had Carl's for nigh on two years, and only used it once on my own job. The tip-tying option is nice, but with only one groundie (most of the time), it's quicker/easier (in most cases) to get out on the limbs and piece them out smaller.

 

[lumberjack]

Or if the Gehl is there, use it to lift/ swing the limbs with gusto!

 

[treesmith]

Might be hard to get Aunt Gehl up the tree.........

 

[lumberjack]

I have used that GRCS up a tree before working solo. Had forgotten about that.

 

[Bodean]

extremetrees was known to do that too, miss Robert.

I have the same feelings, but I still have a running 020T and ms200 plus a 460mag..... all that have only been started in the last year just for the sake of starting them.

I would love to part with the 460mag as it only has a 2 weeks or so of use on it from hurricane Ike. I would sell it, but I love owning a saw with a lot of poke in it plus I don't think I could get a good price for it.

It is just hard to part with the things that have made me a living

 

[Thor's Hammer]

I still have 6 -7 pro saws. x2 200 x2 346xp x2 372xp and a 395xp. No way will I ever use them much again, but equally, highly unlikely that I will ever sell any of them.
