I heard they did it due to hauling fees.

That's great, it was paid for the people, why shouldn't they be able to get it back.
They did some surface grinding on the road down the hill, then chip sealed it and actually vacuumed up the excess, a guy I know was right in the middle of that section and talked them into leaving it all at his place, it's still sitting there in piles lol. I don't think it's the best for spreading on a drive as there's nothing to bind it.
Many times that's true, I heard it's because the truckers are making too much
.
That's a lot of cash, but if it's a municipality paying, who cares right
. Kinda like our fancy new 1.8 million dollar pedestrian bridge, can't imagine what the future maintenance costs will be on that, but getting everyone to drive to a park so they can walk/ride across a bridge is gonna probably save the world somehow or something. Rant over, for a little...That truck in the pic I posted was actually a dodge, and it was a diesel of some sort, she was rolling a bit of coal when it took off from the light a bit up the road, cause merica right lol.
The Honda will outlive them all.
The last load of 3/4 stone that I bought in January cost me $90 to have it delivered. The sand and gravel place is about 7 or 8 miles from me. That was 21 ton worth of stone.That's great, it was paid for the people, why shouldn't they be able to get it back.

His motor will go places fast. HF won't.Stay on topic friend.
We're talking about harbor freight, not that sweet motor you picked up
Those, and various circlips are in strategic places all over my shop...somewhere...It's sad how they will put made in USA, with parts sourced globally
Good looking saw.
Did you have to break out the shades to install the e clips
supposedly there was some dumb law passed making used road materials a "hazardous waste" applies to anything used on the road, even cinders. Has to either go to a sanitary landfill or go back into the road. Cheaper and easier put it back in the road. We even started sweaping up cinders after winter and trucking them back to the old shop to get mixed into heavy road base. Just stupid. If anyone stopped and asked for it we'd dump it off wherever they wanted.
We used to run the 5.5hp Honda (gx190 I think it is.) engines with the integral 6 to 1 gear reduction on the little antique cars, get about 2 seasons out of them before they were worn out. Send them out for a rebuild, usually getting bored oversize. Cost 3/4 of what a new engine cost and wouldnt quite make it another 2 years. About 3 years or so they started getting some sort of cheap knock off engines. Less then half the price of the Honda, and make it the same 2 years the Honda engines did. They just trash them now and get new engines. I want to say they are lifan or something like that. They work.
I'd love to have a unimog, they are super cool!
Don't get me started. I had the misfortune to help spec out some equipment and a few trucks while at the township. The state bid is a good but cheaper then what the average Joe gets, but it's just a base model truck. Till we were done specing out the 5500 it jumped the price from $37k to $58k and that wasn't with a bed, plow or the v-box salter. That all added up to over $80k once it left the upfitters.That's a lot of cash, but if it's a municipality paying, who cares right

Another example, we got a road widener before I started there. Hooked up to the loader and ran off the loader hydraulics. Usually they have a little engine and someone stands on a platform to adjust the wing, material flow off the belt and direct the truck driver. Nope, the guy that ordered it wanted to be able to do everything from the csb of the loader. So everything was electric over hydraulic. Well we came to find out that he couldn't see what was going on in the ditch with the wing, couldn't see the belt and couldn't see the truck drivers. So someone (me at the time) had to walk beside the widener and tell him what to do. All that extra stuff took a $60k machine to $100k...
The Ultimate,
Wood choppers banned!
Geez... sounds like rail road ties and utility poles in NY. They can only be repurposed for industrial use, i.e., for rail roads and utility purposes. No more use for landscaping, docks, etc... I suspect many go out of NY to get around that and the true waste goes somewhere out of state for incineration (according to a local tourist railroad). The RR can leave the debris on their ROW indefinitely and they have done that in the past.
1953 , just seen at gas station 
Pretty sure the men of the committee weren't afraid to take on a woman with an axe, because it's just a woman with an axe lol.
