    Quote of the Day

    Several bosses I've worked for: "Remember that tree you did a few months ago? You know, that big one? In the backyard? C'mon, you remember!" Ummm, nooooo. Gonna need a little more than that.

    Life in the temperate zone...

    I'm always amazed at my fellow fat, lazy Americans that complain that the metric system is too difficult. Ask them which is bigger, 5.5 mm socket or 6 mm: 6! Then ask them about 7/32" vs. 1/4", and they'll scratch their head for 10 minutes before getting it wrong.

    WTB Under CDL hooklift truck

    We've had the opposite problem here. Looking for a single axle CDL hook truck, say 33 or 35K GVW. All we're finding are 26K trucks, and we know we're over that weight wise on a daily basis. Too bad we're 3000 miles from you.

    Best was the sign from last year: "Why doesn't Army football have it's own website? They couldn't string together 3 W's." It's an AWESOME game, if you ever have the chance to attend. Highly recommend it! Go Navy! Beat Army!

    Make sure that you make it part of your contract that they have to do all of the PITA stump grinding clean up. "I climb it and grind it. The rest is up to you! "

    I added the Buckingham dorsal attachment option to my saddle just for the suspender benefits. Yes, it adds a little extra heat in the summer, both under the shoulder straps, and because then my pants are still at my waist and not my ankles. But of course that was the whole point.

    Can I build a 16' chip truck cheaper than I can buy?

    Sorry Tom, CutHigh is right. The 2400 became the M18R and is the same machine, only older. I spent several years with a '96 Model 2400, 176 horse Perkins, single axle and it was right around 8600#. I pulled out some of my older Morbark literature for the various versions of the 2400 and took a...

    Can I build a 16' chip truck cheaper than I can buy?

    That is one clean azz 26 year old truck! He's in Michigan, @Gorman therefore he can definitely overload that thing, especially when Frost Laws are in effect. The weight limits go down to VW levels (or so it seems!)

    Long lanyard management ...have I over thought things?

    Nice setup, Jeff. You know what they say about Great Minds...

    Can I build a 16' chip truck cheaper than I can buy?

    Under cdl means M18RX. I haven't had a chance to play with one of those to see how much they had to remove to save weight (I know the bottom feed wheel and lighter frame) but I really like our M15R.

    Long lanyard management ...have I over thought things?

    I've found a ditty bag works really well. Sits up high and tight against my back pad, so it's above all my storage loops (doesn't show well in this photo). I've got 25' of Velocity with a HitchHiker and a Michoacán in there, out of the way but easily assessable.

    As recently as Friday I was thinking about wagering with you. Kinda glad now I didn't. (I was thinking loser has to walk around next year's TCIA in Columbus in full UM dress and hope not to get your butt kicked!)

    Had to work ALL DAY yesterday, so didn't get to witness any of the drama. Probably for the better - just less pain & stress. Woke up this morning, flipped on Little Steven's Underground Garage classic rock 'n roll to cook breakfast to, and he was playing.... Hang on Sloopy. Damn it!

    Seriously? Did not know that. That's pretty classy. I wish more people involved in these long standing rivalries could show that level of respect.

    There it is! What you doing in Sandusky? Our farm was 18 miles east of Cedar Point, before we gave up and moved to C'bus.

    Little Crane That Could

    After being on it 20 years? Not sure if that would actually help or hinder him. I'm not actually arguing against you Royce, because your point is valid, but I know a bunch of really good equipment operators that learned how to do it old-school and can't stand all of the "buzzers and whistles"...
