    Wtb 4x4 chip truck

    Any one have one to sell or leads? New with chip body is ~$80-100k, got a quote for a 9' aluminum chip box ~$28k installed. Cab and chassis gas f500 is $55-60k or so. Love the short wb for our area. Treetrader etc have 20yr old trucks for $30k, man I hate vehicle decisions vs equipment!

    DC Non-contact voltage detector

    Looking for a test pen gizmo for truck/trailer wiring if one exists. My normal one doesn't register hot wires in the truck and have had a spell of running lights, brakes etc issues a detector would ease tracking down. For those who don't have a proximity tester, get one as they are cheap and...

    Local produce in schools and food bank support

    “USDA has also terminated the Local Food for Schools program, which provided more than $720,000 last year to Maine schools. Schools used those funds to buy food directly from local farmers to serve in their cafeterias. The program provided a big boost to the state's farmers, because more than...

No health insurance because it’s not affordable and want to save money instead for out of pocket, it counts against you if applying for any aid. Own a house to have secure housing, they assume...

    Shoreland layout map

    Depending on the codes officer and town I’ve been mapping out resource protection zone (RPZ) 25’x50’ plots for prospective view work, as well as replanting plans for infractions. Up until now I’ve been content with graph paper as it all needs to be to scale (if they’re finicky) and a bit of...

    Skidding winch block

    Picked up this Igland (Norway) self-releasing open face block for the incoming tractor winch. Built super rugged, 6 metric ton load for 6k lb Fransgard winch, can’t wait to try it out! The first slider pops the cable off so no need for an inline cone like the portable winch setup. $245 but...

    At what point do you settle?

    When do you stop scaling up with equipment and size? Is there a target equation that business school trained folks would like to share? Hoping for number crunching insight from owners, lessons learned etc.

    Favorite saw lanyard

    Didn’t find a thread on them in general, curious what folks like and why. Static, bungee, recoil? Do you run a different lanyard for a top handle vs larger powerheads?

    Has anyone started a fire with an angle grinder?

    Was throwing sparks in the shop today marveling that I’ve never even had an ember get started (except in the tool’s motor). Any flare ups?
