No, seemed he wanted a lot for what he was selling.
I almost bought that altec 49 hp kubota chipper...
Someone "TH rocks" went and looked at it and was underwhelmed with the machine.
He gave me a lot of insight on buying machinery.
Especially when I told him about the truck purchase, rust..etc.
But I got it for 10k less than anything on the west coast and only got burned for 4k of immediate repairs... and now, fingers crossed, it humms along.
He's from Pt. Reyes... The north coast just a bit north of here.
Local guy, I've known of him for 20 years, but never business.
Went up to Ashland to make it big, b/c working in CA sucks, is what they say.
despite falling off the back of a trailer, I'm super happy with my chipper purchase from NH.
The secret is keep the knives sharp, and then it works!
Anyhow, No Dis, Matt when you read this,
Wanted it to work out, but it just didn't.
