Wanted - used GRCS

[Saw Dust Smoken]

Does anyone out there have a used GRCS that they are wanting to sell? I'm also looking for the truck mount that goes with it. Thanks!

[Mr. Sir]

Welcome to the Tree House, Saw Dust! I don't think I've EVER seen a used GRCS for sale. Most folks who buy them tend to keep them. Good luck though, you never know.

[lumberjack]

David (okietreedude) and I got ours used. Mine was used on the showroom of a arbor store that went tits up.

They don't come up for sale very often.

SawDustSmoken, before I search all over the place asking folks I know, please give us a bit of information about yourself.

I am not going to hop through hoops for a guy I don't know. See no reason why I cannot find you a good deal.

[Skwerl]

Welcome to the Treehouse. :) If there's a used one out there to be found, this is as good of a place as any to track it down. Lots of good contacts here, including Frans (who posted just before me) who has worked with Greg Good on a lot of the development and testing of the GRCS.

[No_Bivy]

I picked up one used here last year.....maybe I should sell one:/::\:

[Altissimus]

Maybe Gregg has a demo he'd sell me .....

[MasterBlaster]

Welcome to the TreeHouse, Saw Dust Smoken! Do you have a first name? Mine's Butch.

You'll lose the "Lurker" title when you complete your profile. ;)

Please bear with me - I'm new at this. Computer skills are getting better, maybe. Been in the biz for 10 years, slowly gathering equipment to make my life easier.

Hey man , WTF how bout a good deal on a grcs for me?

[Altissimus]

see what you started Smoke .... now three of us need a deal on one ! .... seriously I'm saving for one now , missed out on a used one last year but the savings of only a few hundred makes a new one probably my path . Most people tend to like / keep 'em .... Welcome to Butch's TreeHouse !

[FJR]

Mines not going anywhere :P

WTF??, what, am I supposed to read minds now?


I will ask around. Whats your name sawdustsmoking?

[Saw Dust Smoken]

My name's Duane - AKA workaholic by my wife.

[Frans]

good to meet ya

[treeclimber]

Does anyone out there have a used GRCS that they are wanting to sell? I'm also looking for the truck mount that goes with it. Thanks! you and me both new there a few thousand , thats a vacation for 3 days with my whole family , they are the bomb though by the way hello..

[Altissimus]

I'm getting ready to throw down for one , I believe that as far as cost goes ... its all relative... to a home owner an $800.00 saw sounds so pricey but we ALL KNOW the hundreds of thousands of cuts that saw is capable of making with proper care , the same goes for the Morbark in my driveway .... so I intend to PAY for a new unit and slowly make that money back by reducing time on trim / removals.... I really think Gregg is onto something great !

[lumberjack]

I'm thinking about buying another.

[Altissimus]

I have noticed some posts where TWO GRCS were in use ! maybe I need more $$$ ....

[arborworks1]

I have wanted a second one as well. Many more possibilties allowed with 2, Plus its a good tax writeoff for this year. Price it into several jobs and presto.

[Frans]

Hey if you buy a new base plate, you will then have one for the bollard and one for the ratcheting capstan!

The times I have used two is when I need to pull the load into a certain area

[FJR]

I use the GRCS and the Porta Wrap together very often. Two GRCS's would be the cats meow.

[Altissimus]

I was gona sell my Port-a-Wrap to help scarf up $$$$ for the GRCS ..... now I'm thinking again ....

[rumination]

Don't sell the porty.

And that's no wonder, Dave! You and the Mrs. have a lot of tadpoles to feed.

[sotc]

Don't sell the porty.

I don't miss mine one bit:drink:

[thattreeguy]

ahh come on
i sold my porty to stumper a few years back,
now i have an old rigging T i got some where
i liked the porty, except it can put a mean twist in a rope
and can be a finger biter if ya dont pay attention,
usefull tool though

[rumination]

A GRCS is great. But with a GRCS AND a porty you can do even more. Plus for simple lowering jobs who wants to spend the time lugging the GRCS around and setting it up? Keep the porty.

[Saw Dust Smoken]

Looks like I may have to buy new for the GRCS. One unit would be nice for starters. Then maybe another down the road.

Whats a 'GRC'? Should I start saving my sheckels for one? :D8)

[Altissimus]

OF COURSE .... twenty four hours after I order new , a used pops up ! Dude is moving wants 1000 beans ....

new one will be just as good......maybe better

Depends on what model. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

[lumberjack]

Where's one for $1k?

[squisher]

It's in Michigan. If a treehouse regular was willing to pick it up for me, maybe we could work something out.:/:

It's pick-up only.:(

[Frans]

where did you spot the ad? I am just curious, so if you want to reduce the possible comp. maybe pm me with the info?

[brendonv]

treebuzz. Looks like some guy Lumberjack says he wants it.

[FJR]

Squish I would be more than willing to help you out. I emailed him and PM'ed him about a few things and I haven't heard back yet.

[Altissimus]

Do you think that guy is legit ??? He doesn't seem to answer his PM's ... plus the "no ship" aspect ...

[lumberjack]

No ship isn't odd, and not everyone lives on the computer.

[woodworkingboy]

"No ship" isn't odd, but "no foreign ship" is.

[No_Bivy]

o66 would be nice, but no shippy

[squisher]

If any Treehouse regular is dealing with this guy and isn't wanting/needing another GRCS, I'll make it worth your while to help a Canadian bro out. FJR, if you get a reply and feel like working something out shoot me a pm.8)

[FJR]

Squish, if he says you can take the grcs let me know. Even if I don't get anything I'll go up there for you. He replied and still has the 066, I just emailed him back.

[rumination]

I'll pay $1001 for that GRCS and throw in a 6-pack of good beer. :D







not really, just wanted to see if I could get a rise out of Squishy

[squisher]

Ha I knew you were joking. Because all you guys have down south is near beer.:D

[MasterBlaster]

That's why I drink whiskey.

[Altissimus]

A 1000 dollar GRCS ...... SCORE ... I hope it works out Squish .... let us know it goes .... I've drooled over it since Gregg's first add in TCI years ago ..

[squisher]

Yah I'm having a hardtime fingering how it would/could work out. I'm not going to send $1000 bones sight unseen. Soooo I dunno?

Looks like maybe another Canadian Treehouser is gonna score on the deal though. Someone who can pick up locally.:/:


I'll keep on saving my pesos to take the plunge one day.8)
