    County line all the way imo. You stole it for $850.
    You won't be disappointed.
    Don't go buying someone's problems to save a few dollars.

    The DHT looks to have an included tray, heavier lower frame and faster cycle time (info pulled from Home Depot & TSC website). Guess it comes down to used with a few better features and unknown history, or a few less features on a brand new machine. Tough call.

    Looks like you have work already lined up for it! Give it a once over to make sure everything is tight and as it should be.

    Yeah that Hemlock decided to fell itself in a storm last week. Snapped off about 10' up, landed on the propane pig (smashed the regulator, sheared the gas line) fell across the driveway, clipped the generator and broke the top of the tree off on the roof of the house. I was at work and the wife called me so I ran home, in the meantime she called 911, the gas company and half the neighborhood. By the time I got home it was a three ring circus!! To add insult to injury I paid a tree company 2k to take down some trees that were too close to the house but decided to wait until this spring to do the hemlocks......live and learn I guess

    This had more to do with a Law and a guy named Newton but the point is the same. Not even sure what a ROPS is??

    Roll Over Protection System. Found on tractors & equipment. An attempt to be cheeky.
