My small time operation

[barbender]

I was told a forestry tube is $250, just the tube, not including labor for installing it. I had to give up knocking 2-3" limbs off of the pine I was cutting by running them over, it was getting too expensive :

 I just paid 125 for a natural rubber casing,don't buy ag radial,they won't hold up.I had to replace the right front, the old tire had 3 canvas's showing.The new used is at 10%,paid 200 for it.I can't afford 1700 right now.I run ag tires on the 4x4 tractor but can't justify them on the skidder,there's just to much on the ground you don't see.
CX3 nice logs.I need a load of $ logs to get caught up  ;) .Seems we all need a catch up,I really thought things would pick up by the 4 qt 2010.Maybe 2011 :( .

Last tube i got for my skidder was 2 years ago, and it was $100.. I don't pay to have the tires fixed i do it all myself.. not too bad to do, use the skid steer to break the bead, and a spud bar and a 8lb hammer gets the tire off the rim
