i guess everything isn't bigger in texas-another topic for mythbusters-one member talks about falling in dogpoop another talks about a million dollar crane to advance business-talk about diversity!

LMAO. I saw that response coming when I posted that. We work mostly in very upscale neighborhoods surrounding two large lakes. They would fine you a million dollars if you tried to bring that thing in on their streets.

ya, but if one of your millionaire clients had a tree go thru their house and they needed a machine of that caliber, they would roll out the red carpet and provide lunch for the crew. they would hire someone else to clean the dog poop. machine can be configured to be street permittable i am quite sure. there are some pretty upscale hoods here in ct. and mass. also. the machine wasn't bought to stay in the garage and get polished.

I'm usually pretty easy to deal with. Caught me off guard. Maybe cause I only had an hours rest the night before. Had a very technical body recovery in a trench that listed over 14 hours the day/night before we went down.

Don't want to upset the mods. But if you're dealing with an equipment dealer (used stuff, but new attachment for sale) out of Saxton PA, that's him.

It's water under the bridge to me now. I've moved on. No sense worrying about the small stuff.

I guess that's a good attitude to have, I'm still a little pissed about that ####### though !:blob2: :hmm3grin2orange: Only found one equipment dealer listed there with a guys full name as the business name? At least leave him some google or yelp feedback......or I can for you ...

Did it contain Mark and supply? It sounds like where I bought my forks, I didn't have any trouble with them but I won't buy anything else after hearing that story.

You know what I love about March? Just as the phone starts ringing and the trucks start rolling and it's looking like there's a light at the end of the tunnel, I get a big fat bill from uncle sam. Laura's pissed, she's been used to getting a refund! Lol

I bought a bunch of stuff from them too. Seemed like a good bunch of guys. I called and texted him about some other attachments a couple weeks ago and never heard back from him. I heard the fathers wife has cancer so maybe that has a lot to do with it. Its a shame I always recommended them to people.

I'm not finding it? I don't think it's against the rules to post info on an ####### like that is it? Not like we're trying to spam the board for his business :laugh:

Stump Grinder I seen this on craigslist and was wondering if anyone has seen one work and if the price seems right.

They are kinda slow and bog easy. I wouldnt pay 8K for it. more like 4-5 but it does come with an enclosed trailer for that price. SHARP TEETH is the key term on this one.

PS I need your mini skid wisdom at some point....

That mini your looking at I dont know much about. I dont think I have heard of that make. When I was looking for one I was mostly looking at vermeer and ditchwitch. The biggest thing is where to get parts or service for it.
