It's nothing fancy, actually dodge's cheapest package, but I don't own a truck to shine and polish. it gets used. and electric butt wipers and automatic elderly diaper changers I don't need. my current cummins has 250,000 on it. and no I didn't give 42 for it.

If my '92 chevy 3/4 with 298k on it would ever die I might ante up and try my best to pull one of those bad boys in two....probably not though. I'd just rebuild that old beater and go at it again. Too rich for me. It would be nice to have a good town and field truck though. We're planning on building a house down in TX in the next 2 years with TN timber so who knows I might come off the dime and be right there with ya. Congrats either way!

I went for the first time. Had a great time looking. Didn't buy anything though.
I think I've been to all the Shootouts except the first one, that I think was in Maine... We always enjoy them, seeing old friends ect...

I have a running list through the year, and then buy a few things at the show...

Glad you enjoyed the show...

Two truck loads of logs. One yesterday, and one the day before (seen in the background of the third and fourth pic.) Some larger than what they normally bring, and I'm wishing I hadn't sold the TW-6 about now. Brainstorming options... ten thousand ones short of an Eastonmade 12-22, or 22-28. Their web site is interesting, with videos on high hydraulic pressure, valves, and design in general. Lots of other ways to go, but the big splitters are sweet to run.

Sandhill, you guys get some huge loads delivered. Our trucks are not that big, 10 cord loads. We've had 3 loads delivered in the last 2-3 weeks. The one pile is left over from last year that we never got too.

Your SS wont have any issues with the bigger stuff. Just more work on your end flipping rounds over that don't completely separate.

I actually like the bigger rounds that I can get square splits out of. Yeah its more work, but they stack better in the stove.
