My hamstrings were screaming on Monday. I wouldn’t want to do it again, but something always needs to be paid for. I looked at the price of new General grabbers hd and they are not in my budget. 240 ea
At least those were HD! I priced out "mid range" quality tires (17") for the wife's minivan and the set was over $800, supposedly on sale/rebate! I was thinking dang we used to buy 10 ply 1 ton tires for a lot less then that!!
Sorta, but it had a piece of plywood zip tied over it from when I was using the truck as a chip truck with my chipper
When we got the F250, it needed tires. Jan '24, we bought a set. Cooper Rugged Trex. LT 275/70R/18 10 ply. $290, $30 m&b each. General ATX were $285. Church member works for a big tire distributor.
I delivered this morning and I’m delivering tomorrow morning. There’s been 2 calls and a text inquiring. Another guy wanted a delivery tomorrow + tree assessment. I put him off to the 11th, because I need to cut and split tomorrow. I have never had this much business and interest before Halloween. Was hoping for a slower year. Could it be folks are preparing ahead of time? There is some 100’s in the forecast for next week.
Fuel prices look like they will be quite high this year. I'm sure that's a factor. Lots of wood deliveries have been going by my house since spring. More than usual.
Our power company owns the NG company so they will be dry humping folks two ways a month. Duke energy got a 14.6% rate increase approved. That’s probably to supply data centers.
