    A big robotic arm. They specialize in molds for casting metal.

    Bought the first one, my son’s 2000 Grizzly 600, from a private individual’s Craigslist ad.

    Bought the second one, my 2009 Grizzly 550, from a dealer’s Craigslist ad.

    It didn’t take long (while looking for used, low mileage, nice ones) to realize that they don’t last long around here. The new ones are so expensive it is crazy. Then I was getting tired of looking and calling, and yada, yada, yada....

    My son caught his about nine hours after it went up on Craigslist. I talked to the guy right away and went right over the next morning. Bought it. Done.

    I caught the 2009 on Craigslist right after it went up. Nice shape. Low miles. Bought it quickly. Done.

    I’m assuming you mean my windshield is higher Sav.

    It was tough to see my son’s windshield in those pictures. It has very little trim around the outside. His is actually a little higher than mine. From the top of the handle grips mine goes up about 14”. His goes up about 15-3/4”. The windshields were on both machines when we bought them.

    A couple better windshield pictures. Hopefully. LOL

    I thought that at first too. Then after a couple of seconds of looking at the picture, I think it is sitting on a desk/table and the scale is just not apparent to our eyes.

    31* at my place at 8pm last night. Surprised it had only gotten down to 28* at 3:30 this morning. At least no white stuff like yesterday!

    Here it is with some scale. The larger one was about 2 1/2 feet tall. IMG_20181019_10673.jpg

    The product size is limited mainly by the size and reach of the robotic arm. He gets the robots from ABB, and they make some pretty big ones.

    Caffeine going in. Slept in till 6:45. Made some homemade biscuits in the oven. Mmmmm. What? :confused: I made them at home! :whistle:Even if they did come out of a can. :emb:They were delicious with butter and honey on them. Good thing I grabbed some right away. Kids had already eaten breakfast and still ate biscuits!:faint:

    You firewood hoarders have a safe and fun day.

    Oh yeah, Sunday River. I used to be almost able to see that place from where I lived. If there were not mountains in the way. ;)

    cart.jpg I believe we have had this cart for about 2 years Got it from tractor supply. We got this for me when I was starting to have my breathing issues. It saves me a lot of running in an out. All four sides come completely off. That is a normal load for me, and about 2 more feet for Chaz.
