    Can you put the elevator wheel on car ramps or block them up? It would sure save you a lot of work to be able to dump the splits directly into the truck.

    I was gone with the truck when that pile was made. It goes high enough, I just back to it, actually works better than going over the side.

    One problem with the Minis I saw was you would have to order the parts, wait for them to come in for a week or more, and then prolly fix them yourself. And I am not a mechanic, don't want to be a mechanic, and I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.:confused:

    Most of the japanese stuff is really reliable. I would fix it anyway myself like everything else I have. But if you have a mechanic that will work on anything and u get him the part I dont see why he would not work on the mini? I know a guy now that would do it if I wanted or had one.

    I do some of my own repairs. Basic/quick stuff. Some maintenance as well. But I pay someone else to fix most stuff now. I enjoy working with the equipment so much, and if I can afford to, pay someone to do the repairs.

    I have too much stuff to be able to afford to have it worked on.

    The MTD mower I just fixed worn parts on and replaced broken parts for example. I think I have around $150 in parts on the last repair. If I paid to have it done I bet you could add another $150 minimum to that plus they would not have got the parts as cheap as me most likely. At that price id be better off just buying another used mower.

    I pay for somethings as its not worth it to me. Like U joints. I pay the $10 the local shop charges vs beating my brains out installing them. Its worth that money to me. I dont own the c clamp thing or a press to do it easy. And yes when younger with a buddy I replaced many the old way with sockets and 3lb hammers.

    I think that's all I have. I don't take photos often. Usually don't have my camera and IPhone taks horrible quality photos.

    Last 2 pics are from iPhone and the colors are all wrong plus its blurry.

    Douglas Fir bark? Burns extremely hot and long, burns much hotter and longer than the wood.
    There is a lot of resin in the bark, so much that it cannot be burned in our Jetstream boiler. It would cause an explosion much like trying to burn gasoline!

    Ann didnt know. We only have tiny doug firs here in arboretiums. Even as a forester I didnt know that. I do know its a fire tolerant species. But our trees even pine down here that is fire tolerant, if I can get the bark off I leave it!!
