Can you give an example of an electric spider you're looking at? My first thought is you're looking for a budget lift that will have crap for parts availability/affordability and will turn into a money pit almost instantly.
I'm assuming a CBN wheel is the way to go, perhaps a Baltic? I remember using pink stone wheels, I don't like the dust or the constant dressing/adjusting/fidgeting.
Would I not want the Oregon 620-120 for the auto hydraulic clamp, one less thing to mess with/make the process easier?
I'll hand sharpen on the saw on the job, or replace the chain with a new chain. At some point I'll probably figure out getting a grinder, then the pile of chain will continue being an asset.
I hand sharpen on occasion 😂. If we’re busy and have a strong supply of new chain, the occasion to sharpen wanes.
I figure I’ll order a case of 20” loops and see how it goes. A case of 28”/36” would last me an exceedingly long time.
I’ve pretty well only used Stihl chain on hand saws. In general I doubt I’d get excited to spin my own loops without substantial savings that likely can’t exist when a loop is only $18.
I should perhaps get a chain grinder to go through my buckets of used chain… but I’d rather find a decent...
Has anyone compared it directly with Stihl? I got a price last week for 20 loops of 20” loop from my Stihl dealer. XCut from Stahl’s is little more than half the price. 36” loops are a little less than half priced.
Interesting.
How do you think they compare, @SkwerI?
I'm a dealer for Nifty Lift, I've sold a SD64 to Oahu and another to Kauai. I'm also a user of the SD64. @treesandsurf is the owner on Oahu.
The width would be a problem if you were working in tight areas... I've been using SD64s for 9 years (bought my first from another dealer). I might...
How much profit does the brand generate annually? A multiple of that is a starting place.
If you have enforceable contracts (book of business) with meaningful time remaining, you can include some value for them in the brand's worth.
Guess I’m upgrading my 10 year old excavator… for size reference it’s a 24” bucket on the old, 36” bucket on the new.
Now my mini excavator is bigger than @BIGTWIG ‘s, but his smallest excavator is bigger than my mini 😂😂
It does fine and was ~1/3 of the cost of a Hypertherm 85 with the hand and machine torch. If I was in to heavy production I’d be interested in a Hypertherm.
Everlast consumables are very cheap compared to Sync cartridges, Hypertherm last longer.
I started the day pushing a few loads of dirt out for my neighbor, apparently he spend an hour with a small tractor trying to spread the little bit that was done in the first picture. The top soil should have been cut out before dumping the dirt, but not my circus, not my monkeys. I was...
I pretty much always have AirPods Pro 2's with me, noise cancelling is beautiful, and the AirPods are more socially accepted than orange earplugs. 😂
The subs in my living room get down to 15hz, but they're much more alive around 20hz.
