Where's the 500i ?

Broke it in this afternoon and ran about 3/4 of a tank through it. Purred through 16-18 inch beech and 20" red oak with ease. Made short work of the pile of logs that needed to be bucked!

Thanks again for letting me know about the 500i last year!

 

looks great!!!

 

i see the lines on the loader...just curious what you runnin?

 

It's a Kioti DK4210. I have a 60" grapple that I would have preferred to use over the forks. I hadn't dug it out yet from where I had it stored for the winter and when the log load was dropped off, it blocked it in. Now that the logs are bucked and out of the way, I can get the grapple out.

 

Nice toys. Umm I mean tools

 

NICE pick of the saws! I think Stihl should use that in their marketing literature!

 

I just was at my local dealer today buying a weed eater and the had both the 400 and 500. So much self restraint ......

 

Omg there goes my oz of restraint!

 

Which one did you get? Pics? Help a laid up brother out.

 

Sadly neither. I did buy a new weed eater.

 

Do you have WEAD Ron T ? How could you NOT buy a new saw??? What was their asking price on the 400?

 

830 and change.

 

I Stihl cant believe you didnt buy one! How did you stop your CAD?

 

The weed eater was a need. Not saying I won't go back. I did just buy trailer as well. Only can get so much past the boss at once

 

If you need me to schmooze her just let me know. Us CADer's have to stick together.

 

That's what I'm afraid of.

 

I keep testing my bosses limits, I think that I am getting close, probably Very Close.

I just bought a New Jeep Wrangler, a week before Christmas, and just this morning I had the new Tires and Wheels put on it, that was after I hAd already added the Winch and Bumper, Nerf Bars and few little things, it still “NEEDS” an AEV 2.5” lift kit, but I was getting the impression, that maybe better wait a little bit yet

Not something you easily hide! Good looking Jeep.

 

Ran a tank and a half through it this afternoon. Bucked and noodled sugar maple. Didnt really need it for the limb wood, but did anyhow. Gnarly trunk. More noodling to get done. Cringed when i bucked the trunk as its a yard tree, but no metal found with the saw. 22" bar. Saw continues to impress.

 

I Did need a newer vehicle, the 94’ F350 crew cab 4x4 has over 250,000 miles on it, And just wasn’t really practical for traveling for work. I am what is called a “Pool Driver” my dedicated account closed last April, now I go where they need coverage, I am actually on my way back to Medford, OR for another week.

I do so much driving, that I needed a vehicle that was more reliable, I already have 8742 miles on the Jeep, since just before Christmas.

It has the same 3.0 liter turbo diesel that Ram has been using in their 1500 pickups, Absolutely Love It, 260 HP and 442 Ft#’s of Torque, and gets 22mpg/City and I can get 30mpg/Hwy, IF I keep my foot light on the accelerator
