    lol!

    I am planning on doing some flipping..
    Trying to get my Dad in on it too.


    Still undecided on swapping one out for my current 30T though.
    LIke i said earlier.. I had the 22t for quite some time and it was excellent.
    It didnt give me one issue what so ever.

    If I remember correctly, they offered just about the same deal last year. If you fish back, you may find a couple of posts about it from last year. I don't know if maybe there is only one in the store and no rain checks or what.

    1.33 Canadian loonies to 1 us dollar. That isn't 2200 loonies.. That's 200 loonies markup for tsc.

    Yep, I do it all the time. I process most of my wood in winter. IMHO, one that CSS's to burn it shouldn't have an issue pulling a 200 cc single cylinder 4 stroke over in even zero degree weather. ;)

    Now if it's a bigger twin or bigger, then yeah, I can see e start being nice.

    A few on the local cl tried that with the 22 ton forest kings. They eventually lowered their prices to what they paid, then the cl ads went away. So I don't know if there's really any $ to be made. Maybe a little.
