NO 4320 can match a 180hp perkins v8:msp_w00t::rock:
bring it on buddy:jester:

I figured I'd get a rise outta you sooner or later!!!
Although this 4320 ain't exactly stock...
You think that old red brute will be able to get a Hedge log outta the back of my truck without breaking its spindles??!!
I'll bring a can of starting fluid just in case too...
:msp_wink:
We both know how those old V-8's can be...

I'm on the hunt for a coil for a Dolmar 5100S if anyone comign to the GTG has one would you bring it if willing to sell/trade it. Could use a brake band for a huskie 455. crank case for 046 and P/C really only need oil fill side of case but if you have both they say they seal up better if matched.

I have several bars laying around both hardnose and a couple sprocket nose plus one or two 25" stihl mount bars for trade on ayn of these items mentioned if heading Oakfest:msp_w00t:

Well if you're gonna raise me, at least do it with something that can come play in the 12,600 pound class...
806 is a hay tractor...
Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!................


Ya know some of us are farmers not tractor pullers. Damm hard on the hay farmers this year with all the cold wet rain. Hard to re-seed.

Awwwe the forgotten overpriced green machine. Heck go with the solid ole 5020 while you are at it:msp_wink:

Solid tractor if you get rid of the godforsaken 531 engine. Buddy has 3 busted 531 blocks out back, 1 out of the 5010, 2 out of the 5400 chopper. Bad habit of being self ventilated crankcases.

I'd rather have the 4320, but they cost too much just to get the 540 pto, if you can live with 1000 only, the 45 is a lot cheaper to buy.

while I have enjoyed running the 4020 :msp_unsure: and have never complained once about my inlaws equipment... I will be really really happy to be running the new upgrade this year!

Pink is the new black apparently:hmm3grin2orange:

honestly... "breast cancer awareness bar" sounds good to me! Maybe Shaun can paint "Save 2nd base!" on my bar! :hmm3grin2orange: Pink will probably go with the blue on my saw really well! :D

On the same note... Shaun may need to help me shorten the trigger pull on the 9010... He wouldn't want me "3/4 throttling" the saw and making his port work look bad; especially with everyone looking at the pink bar!
