whadja do today?

[tree MDS]

Sold a three day job to a customer I picked up a few years ago. He said the job was mine before I even gave him a price. Said I already proved myself to him so he wasn't even gonna get any other prices. Not enough like that out there these days.

Then I picked up a check, took it to the bank, came back, loaded the tractor and dropped it off at tomorrow's job. Then sharpened a couple saws and am now drinking a beer. Not exactly a beautiful day, but it'll suffice.

Hung and finished drywall in my basement the last 3 days...they were not beautiful days and i ****in hate drywall.

The one Union company I work for wants " 40 a day to stay" and they mean it. But that's all commercial work. Stand ups on metal studs. I've hung thousands of sheets and have got past the hate part of it

My shop needs drywall work and painting. I've never taped sheetrock before and refuse to learn. I figure eventually I'll just hire some out of work bozo and pay him cash. Lol.

I'm sticking to my new school ways. My old man did everything, plumbing, heating, electrical (by trade). He also did carpentry, auto body and paint.. masonry, tyling... Too much really. I never saw the point, but was interesting to watch/help with anyway. But I forget what my point was?? Lol.. I cut tree.

I haven't found anyone that seems like they care about doing a decent job therefore I end up doing it all carpentry roofing plumbing electrical ..... Hired a guy to spray foam he was good but other than that I basically don't have enough time in the day

Oh yeah my point ...... I almost forgot .... My shop needs insulation and drywall too but its not getting drywall its getting osb and white paint so I don't have to cringe all the time and deal with holes in the walls from the general mayhem that surrounds me

Cut, stacked, split, fire wood. Cleaned and replaced a few sections of black pipe on the old wood stove. Gonna split and stack some more tomorrow. Got a hand full of trees to look at Tue. Hope something picks up this week. May try to mount the plow on the cummins this week as well. Winter is coming...

Signing the paperwork for a 2015 bandit 250xp today. Excited and a little scary at the same time. It's the first new peice of equipment versus used, and the first equipment loan. Going to be a huge time saver and will pay for itself every month in what it saves me in payroll. Went 60 months at $1,100/ month. No early pay off penalties

Suddenly I don't feel so bad about fighting with my $1000 Chuck and duck chipper ...... I also don't have to worry about man hours tho

I was ******** my pants when I signed the paperwork for the 1590. Same situation as you. First new piece of equipment first large loan.

Best damn move I ever made. Everything is so much more fluid with a good chipper. What options did you get? Is the 250xp still rated as a 12" machine?

Good for you. Make some money and take good care of it. Tier IV right?

Yesterday afternoon I dropped my mini off on a job talked to the ho a couple neighbor chicks drive up and start flirting ridiculously hard. They leave he says they are both strippers. So u know they were home all day while I was there 10hrs drove by 5x when I was on the ground. And they really let their intentions b knows honking whistling all the physical show u could do in public. I was just laughing smiling and waving I'm trying to stay out of trouble. It really made my dam week they were gone when I left and I thought why didn't I have 1$ to waive at them when they drive by 1$ wouldn't have hurt anything

Yes tier 4. 122.5hp cat. All the options. Hydro up/down, winch, larger feed system and table. Fuel save mode that I can set to make the engine idle down after a certain amount of time without chipping. The computer tells me all sorts of weird stuff. Hopefully it's not a electronic nightmare after saying all that.

Yes still in the 12" class but I believe it has a 13.5" x 19.5" opening. Something close to that. When I demoed it I was in awww of the material it would eat.

I bet that 1590 is a beast. Is it hard on the chip truck towing it? My bucket truck is gutless and tired. The 250 will put it to the test.

 

[Blakesmaster]

It's a 10,000 pound machine. What's your 250 weigh?

 

[tree MDS]

My new tractor is tier 4. Seems like it uses twice the fuel of the old one. I haven't used it a ton yet, but sure seems that way. Thank god it's just a CUT and not a triaxial. Lol.

 

[rtsims]

6700 lbs with the options I believe.

How the **** does that make any sense emissions wise? They put a fancy emissions module on the engine but force it to drink twice the fuel.

Priced higher? On what? Its all online thats how they say "they save you money" on product. No paper catalog.

Just ended up ordering 3 groundskeeper rakes because customers were so impressed with them they had to have them and a Pacific kevlar for myself saved 20$ ordering from wesspur over tree stuff sure il have to wait an extra week but I don't need it tomorrow either 20$ may not be much but what's granpappy say waste not want not or something like that ?? I have nothing against tree stuff but I just don't see what makes them so special they seem to have a very strong following on here ... Good marketing ??
