    Well he would not be splitting crotches would he? Unless he is going to come run the splitter for you? If you'd be willing to pay the extra I don't see why he couldn't fab one up.

    Way to long. I told them I need it this spring. We'll see if it happens. From what I heard they aren't too good on meeting deadlines.

    Yeah I would have too. I like the local dealer here that sells them. Not a fan of Wolfe Ridge owner...

    I was told the reason Eastonmade has such long waits, is because he's having trouble getting the engines. Not sure how accurate the information is. Could be a whole host of things with so many parts hard to get or unavailable and so many people not wanting to work.

    Congrats on your choice. I'm sure once you do get it, you'll be pumping out serious firewood in no time flat.

    Could be... we've had 3 Baldor XP motors on order at work since spring...had our sales guy call their sales guy for a real update last week (not just the made up random date about 4 weeks out that we've been getting) and was told one motor is ready to ship, the other two they have no idea... can't get some of the parts they say!
