Here's a picture of 2 little boys getting ready to sell their horse. This was the 2nd horse in the ring so maybe an hour before the accident. There were tons of little kids running around. View attachment 241345

Didn't get a chance to go to a sale last saturday because of a wedding but I did end up going to a sales yard and made a deal on a brand new in the crate 72" Kioti belly mower for $1000 cash. Now I just gotta find a buyer for it for a few bucks more. View attachment 242976

I can buy this new in the crate Farmi model 290 winch for $3000, it's an old stock model. Does anybody know what a new one is worth? I can't seem to find this model listed. View attachment 242977View attachment 242978

Pics of my flatbed hoist. It is a post hoist not a scissor lift. It started life as a slide in bed insert until I cut it all up and revised it. This is the 3rd truck it has been in. I replaced the pump a couple years ago. View attachment 242979View attachment 242980View attachment 242981View attachment 242982

I finally got around to doing something with the post hole digger I bought awhile ago. Works good but a pain to get unhooked when trying to drop the log. It'll work until I get my hydraulic one done, pieces getting cut for the arms any day now. View attachment 243066View attachment 243067

Also tried out a new log grapple today but just couldn't get it to work right.View attachment 243068

I tried 2 different grapples and neither one worked right. View attachment 243070

Try hitting up RAMROD... I think he posted a while back about his. Could be wrong, do a search.

You could charge admission to your place for an Adult's playzone.

I know that I would surely like to visit.

Took my sister in laws old van to the scrap yard. $265 for it. Look at the length of that grapple. View attachment 243081

I told my wife I wasn't going to an auction sale on Saturday, I went on thursday instead. Bought another buggy but a mini one this time. Also got about 100 cable slings and chokers for a good price, just gotta find someone who needs them now. Box is also full of cables too. View attachment 243538View attachment 243539

Got some of the steel for my 3 pth grapple build. Now I just need to find the time and maybe a couple of cooler days to build it. I'm planning to make it like the Valby ones. I have a bushful of small stuff laying on the ground and this should make it easier to gather. Videos make it look easy anyway. I guessed at the arms, I hope I'm close. I did make a template out of wood but changed these at the last minute so some readjustments might be necessary. Arms are 1/2" thick and will be reinforced. Square frame is 1/4" wall x4"x4".

Got a couple of good deals at the Amish school auction this weekend. Just ordered 2 windows at Home Depot $1400 for the pair, found 2 at the auction sale that were close in size $25 each. Going to try to cancel the one window from home depot on monday. Bought the little steel barn for $2, some poor guy built it and got his share of $2 for it. The roll of carpet is 6'x 300' long for $160, it's outdoor carpet so I have a few uses for it, was thinking of maybe doing my driveway with it. Oh yeah, I even bought the kitchen sink.

And to keep it in the firewood thread. I bought another Bark Buster, this one is just like new other than the nasty bend on the "safety" brace. Funny how all the ones I have bought have been bent, wonder why. This one was pretty expensive, $10, everyone is scared of them. View attachment 245879

 

[cantoo]

This one shows the bend, I was looking for a one armed guy in the crowd but didn't see one. Maybe he's not out of the hospital yet. View attachment 245881

The bark buster is in good shape, the guy said he only used it a few times. I think he got natural gas now. View attachment 245999
