View attachment 279260View attachment 279261Replaceing lower cutter wheel bearings on my 1625 Super jr, they had a little play in them so i thought i would replace them now because work is SO SLOW. Took it apart and ordered the bearings and then O MY GOD $220.00 each. Never new they would be that bad, i was thinking $80.00 each.

Thanks.

Yes I'm a firefighter. Been one since 1988.
I have also been removing trees since 1984, however not as much as I have been in the last five years. Usually 40+ hours a week from April to December. Doesn't feel like side work anymore.
I've been lucky to have great groundsmen and an additional climber who can run the show when I can't be there.

Some people in life have been blessed with a job that they love. I am very fortunate in having two.

Screw that, cancel that order and contact these guys or somebody simliar http://www.motionindustries.com/motion3/jsp/mii/LocationsMI.jsp. Nothing special about those bearings. I got them for $89 when I did mine last winter. Sealmaster NP24.
 
Picked up my new grinder Thursday. Left at 4am thursday morning and we are gonna drive straight back. Be home in7hrs. Been on the road for almost 21hrs. I drove the first 20 he's now my employees gonna drive for a while so I can sleep.
 
Just got home 29 hours after i left. What a long trip. Glad i am back, got the go ahead on a huge 2 day job.

The guys down at Globel Equipment Exports are a great bunch of guys. The grinder was exactly as described, and Randy is very knowledgeable. When I buy my next piece of equipment from them, I know its gonna come as described, and I will just have them ship it to me. I am would highly recommend dealing with them if you need any equipment.

Nice grinder. I thought I put on some weight over the winter.. yikes! Lol. :laugh:
 
Went to the beach yesterday, got up to 81! Took my 16 y/o, thought he was going to have a heart attack. SO MANY BIKINIS. He would start talking, then stop mid sentence, completely loose his train of thought as his neck twisted in very strange angle's. He looks at me and says "now I know why u always have your shades on" Glad to see he is learning!

Its your beard.

Nice grinder BTW. We have this junk Vermeer, SC 60 (or sumtin like dat) track machine. It has electric buttons, instead of hyd levers. There is no "feel" to it, so no chance of "finesse" Then, right before I started, they bought this walk behind Dosco, the kind that you have to manually swing back and forth :bang: Thing is a joke.
