    We have waited way longer than a baby to get here for a deal to come along.
    Well it finally happened.
    Meet the new addition to Goat Town Firewood... 0906221506_HDR.jpg

    0906221507~2.jpg
    It is the 28HO model. He ordered it in Dec, got it June '22. It has 9.5 hrs on it. It has 4 & 6 way wedge and electric start. He bought the conveyor off eBay.
    He posted it on a FB group Friday, we got financing before the bank closed that afternoon. He held it for us till Tuesday. We were coming to Pigeon Forge for our anniversary this week and he lives less than 10 minutes from where we are staying. What a blessing from the Lord.
    We gave him what he was asking, which was at least 2k cheaper than what he paid, then he threw the conveyor in also.
    He was going to get into bulk sales, but doesn't have time. They build and manage luxury cabins in this area.

    Awesome anniversary gift. Ms. Carol is a lucky woman!

    You might be a wood hoarder if you buy a splitter & conveyor for your significant other! :whistle:

    Seriously, great looking machines. Should really amp up your production. :axe:

    That is one SAH-WEET machine you got there! Best season her up with some dings, dents and scratches.

    Oh that’s a nice rig. Might I suggest a lounge chair to go with it? LOL. Now you’ll wish you had that all along.
