O.C.G.D. Thread, part two

[Paul B]

to continue this thread, I must show the jacket that I got for my birthday a couple days ago. a joint effort from my sisters and parents, husqvarna cutters jacket with saw protection in the shoulders etc. Do I get special recognition because the only place I left a list of birthday wishes was my local arborist shop?

other items included a clinometer & increment borer with a few other trinkets....

 

[Paul B]

oh, and I got this Felco saw the other night at a landscape association meeting.... I almost feel bad putting it in the crate that I store my excess Silky saws in....

 

[Thor's Hammer]

haha Paul, you crack me up mate
dont EVER let on that this stuff is toys. always stick the line that its vitaly important tools that earn lots of dosh
Anyway, heres my latest buy

 

[brendonv]

Grabbed this lot off ebay cheap, dunno what I'll do with wooden snatch blocks (1 ton) but what the hey...

 

[Buzz]

Looks like your having a bit of a tidy up there Thor

 

[Banned by Squirrels]

Jus a bit.

 

[Buzz]

Paul, you'll find those jackets a tad warm to work in to say the least !! They do another version without protection which is very good

I know. I have a yard full of stuff I'm moving. there's a Gravely 395 with a new axle waiting to be installed, diesel tanks, Hydrualic tanks, Hydraulic pump sets, a loglift 71F with dual extensions, 3 grapples, another 10t lorry crane, winches, turntables, vast arrays of hydraulic hose and electric valve banks, track undercarriages, steel sheet and plate, a 30 inch capacity chipper with giant infeed (even with the 140hiab, I cant lift that one...)
Phew! its amazing all the stuff you garner. I have 4 tonnes of scrap to go tommorrow...

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Oh yes, that V8 in the far background is a 580hp scania with a twindisc clutch. I got a price on a new unit last week, about £38k

The difference between Tools and Toys:

Tools are tax-deductible.

 

[Al Smith]

"Tis amazing the amount of hardware one can accumulate over the years.It would appear that I need to do a bit of a tidy up myself.

 

[Mangoes]

Al, is that a Forestry body? Does it need a home?

That's nice, Brian. I ran a bucket like that, I loved the side bins and the rear mount. Sweet!

What the heck giant-handled handsaw is THAT, Gary?

I bet that hooked handle catches on everything.

Get thee to a Zubat tootsweet!

 

[Rborist1]

Nice truck Brian, when did you get it?

 

[stehansen]

Yesterday I had one 200T getting fixed because I dropped it and broke the wrap around handle, my other 200T started leaning out and wouldn't stay running, had to start it almost every cut, so I went with the back-up to the back-up a shindaiwa 360. Used it for about 1 minute and the muffler fell off. So I drove about 20 miles in the bucket truck and bought a new 192T. Used it yesterday afternoon and today. It is a little lighter than the 200, has about 25% less power and it feels really smooth cutting with it. Pictures to follow tomorrow. My camera is gone so I am assuming that my daughter took with her to San Jose on a girls day out trip.

 

[Paul B]

MB. I think Gary's saw is one of them Samurai saws.

Nice truck Brian, similiar color to the little ranger you had.

 

[Canuck]

Oh man lets see. Last week I got 120' of blaze, a zubat, 2 zubat blades, ibuki blade, petzl vertex lid with new peltor muffs, 2 scabbards. I think thats it but I could be wrong. Oh yeah 4 petlz "rescue" pulleys and a big figure 8. I hadn't indulged for a while so when I finaly gave in I gave in big time. Got my eye on a big stihl backback blower now........

 

[Paul B]

Canuck, if you is ordering the Silky stuff, lemme know, I might be able to get you some deals bro....

 

[GASoline71]

Man you guys can give a guy hand-saw envy!!!:what:

It is a 13" Corona hand-saw I bought before I even thunk about climbing a tree. Just to have on hand. It also comes in handy in elk camp.

I'll order a Silky when I damn well please!

It'll prolly be soon....

Gary

 

[Paul B]

[MasterBlaster]
