****Going to keep it for now, not for sale anymore.****GRCS purchased new by me and in my possession since. Only used a handful of times. When we need it, it is great but I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it I feel.

Only damage I am aware of is top pig tail deal got bent a little. All else normal wear and tear from using a few times. Can send more pics if anyone is interested. Bend doesn't affect rope in or out.

I'm asking $2475 including shipping. I'm thinking I will spend a pretty penny on shipping. Let me know what you need from me.

Yes, that's running through my head now. Don't use very much but when needed can't be beat. Been thinking of Airspade and getting more into root work, this would help start that! We'll see....thanks for the input.
 
Not for nothing, but coming into the end of the year and the end of the fourth quarter, it's a good time to call up Air Spade and talk to a sales rep and squeeze them for their very best price to let them get one more sale in before the end of the year. I did that when I bought mine and was very pleasantly surprised at the discount I was able to negotiate.

I'm not going to get into the "Tastes Great/Less Filling-Airspade/AirKnife" debate, but I played them against each other by telling them that one or the other of them will be closing a sale with me before the end of the year, depending on who wants it the most. Worked for me.
 
Interesting I talked with both airspade and air knife and asked them what made one better than the other. they both basically said nothing. flipped a coin and ended up with the air knife. Ive used the airspade quite a bit and the only real difference I can see is the ergonomics of the handle which could be just personal preference. the air knife has the option to add a water sprayer or a vacuum which I haven't invested in yet though. My GRCS sits on a shelf 95% of the time but I would never dream of selling it.
 
I bought my GRCS in mid summer 2016 and used it once so far. It can keep collecting dust. Stayin put with me. May take some time but it will pay itself off. When you need it, it's invaluable. No matter how much it sits between use. KEEP IT.
 
I’ve used mine maybe a dozen times since I bought it in 2008 (I think). Every time we pull it out and set it up it saves us the need to have other rigging equipment, a crane or makes life easier in completing our task. I have considered selling several times, even thought for a nano second about trading for a wraptor but every time I do something comes up that makes owning it worth while.

It always amazed me that guys would buy a GRCS before a Wraptor. We use our Wraptor daily, well did before we got our crane.

Don't you sell them? Most often you can get the job done without a Wraptor.....not the case without a GRCS. Buying one allows you do to the job you would have to pass on or bring a crane in. Plus, most companies have bucket trucks or track lift.
 
I sold my Wraptor to buy a GRCS. I do miss the Wraptor, but I would miss the GRCS more. As I get older I would consider a Wraptor again but I would keep the GRCS. A small bucket or forestry truck is really what would work for my particular business model. Bigger jobs I always hire people better than me and with the equipment I don't have.
