Free Humm?

It was 18 degrees here yesturday morning. Think high of 32.

I am sitting at the car dealer right now. Getting a free oil change. for some reason it takes them 1.5 hrs to do it.

Seems to me if the mechanic is doing it for free too, then he has no incentive to get'r'done. Most shops pay flat-rate to their techs. Not sure how that techs getting paid then?
... Wait, what's he doing under the hood for 1 1/2 hours?:msp_scared:

I have done some work with Facebook advertizing, not sure if we got much return out of it. Anyone use it much?


New Crane | Facebook

Sponsored this link, it reached an extra 200 people so far for $10, not sure how that turns into useful leads, or if its worth it. Has anyone tried tracking any ads?

I have another ad up that we have spent a lot more on, reached thousands of views, very few clicks.

And here is what i found. Its no wonder why it turns hard when you got a log in the grapple.

Got to replace 17 wheels @ $47 each. Gonna be a grand after shipping.Ouch!

I will probably replace all 20 wheels and keep the good ones for spares.

Had some pics taken the other day for the new ad in the phone book. The close ups are more person friendly but I really like the shots with all the gear out.

Thanks, just had it out on it's first "real" job the past two days. It's a trick to run but I'm pleasantly surprised with the power it has. Slowly getting better at the controls. Pulled two loads of oak out of a back yard and have one more in the front for tomorrow. I always wrote firewood sales off as bull#### but I'm starting to contemplate ramping up on that end with the addition of this truck.

And yes, beards are mandatory...it's winter.
