I tried to do the best home first aid that I could with hydrogen p and beta dine and neosporin but I had a very bad feeling when kitty bore down on my hand with the force of a grown man. I took ibuprofen And...

    2004 International 4x4 Altec Bucket

    This truck is temporarily off the market; it is going to take 10 months to build a new one so I am in a holding pattern. I am finding that there are seriously no good comps on this truck due to the light/one operator use. There is literally not another unit like it on the market.

    Jura

    I actually will be needing some help next year. Giant redwood on the property that I wasn't comfortable tackling solo as well as I needed more gear. I found the French people to be lovely. I'm sure in more touristy areas they are a little snooty towards Americans. The Jura people still remember...
