them fukers are bringing more than i think they are worth. the 30" head makes it more desirable than a 25. i see those models between 20 and 30k depending on condition.
be advised "single cut" is bull shit. if she wont lift the stick off the stump you need a front cut or the stick will pinch the bar and bend it.
running one is a balancing act. in the right timber it can be almost as fast as a drive through, in heavy timber i personally would rather hand fall. it should lift most any 20" dbh pine btw. that size hard wood and bigger any thing you better put in a front cut first to save the bar.

I never cut anything but hardwood. This guy don't either but he claims he can half assed limb with it and top. He says it eats 300 bdft ash like no other. But can also drop 1k ft oak. Its in real good shape and ready to go, asking 27k

yeah, they dont work well in wet ground, that tail wheel falls in. 1000k oak? you can, but i can do it better with a saw. th more cuts you have to make the harder it is to keep them all lined up. you can not see the saw bar at all, its all kind of an intuition thing. you better where that big stick wants to fall too cuz shes not going to lift it or push it.

He had me climb in and take a look out the "windows".. He says this machine is best suited for a experienced hand faller and he thinks id catch on quick..

Timbco was a joke but maybe a bell might work

400 is a big piston short stroke low comp engine. it will take 6500 all day like a 383. the blower is the cheapest way to make power short of custom pistons or machine work on the deck, which i am not a fan of. its till a torque monster, but if i do any of it it will likely be the 440. pound for pound cheap power. i can prolly get 400hp and close 500lbft with nothing but a cam upgrade and a big carb. and do it under 5k rpm. idk wtf i need it for though.

Buy you a set of hyper pistons, gap the rings about .024-.028, an ebay turbo (~$200), blow through Holley mods, boost referenced fuel pressure regulator along with a 30psi pump, and a boosted cam. Make 700 hp for under a grand.

Pro tip: pool store chlorine is around 11%. Clorox is about 8.25%. They are the same active ingredient, so buy whichever is cheaper.

Additional pro tip: if you don’t already have a skimmer, get one.


What type of pool do you have?

It's one of them 20' Intex deals with the steel frame and ?40 gal/min? sand filter/pump.
Hammered it with some muriatic acid yesterday and have about 3 pounds of water softener salt applied.

Improved the electrolysis unit with 2 ought copper wire yesterday...it's just an experiment which, in theory, should provide "some" chlorine once'd the water is cleaned up and the salt is something along the lines of 6 parts per million (don't quote me on that, I'll need to look it up again)

Bought a small bucket of "shock" to apply, once'd the PH is brought down by the acid, to get started and will prolly go with the old faithful Clorox to follow.

Lots of back flushing the filter at this point, might be red eye to try the vacuum this evening.

Get you a Hayward sp109lx or sp109wm and install it. Huge difference if you’re still running just the standard Intex intakes that are below the waterline. The lx was $$55 on Amazon a few weeks ago, now they’re $90. The wm was $47 as of this morning. They are 1-1/2npt and include a barb fitting if you want plumb them that way. If you have the large intex hoses, that have the threaded collars on them, you can get Game 4560 adapters. That’ll be the simplest way to connect up what you’ve already got, I think.
