Hello, my name is cjfrank and I'm just learning how to use this site. Please bear with me as I'm new at this. I am located in Milaca, MN. and own and operate a logging and lumber operation. I pretty much take material right from the stump to a prefinished product. I like the forum because I see that other people have the same equipment that I have. I call my stuff rusty but trusty. Thank you for your patience and expertice at the techniolgy.

Welcome, cjfrank.  You will be right at home here.  I'm fairly rusty myself, and I'm about used up.   :)

Welcome cjfrank, I do believe you'll find the forum very useful, I also believe you may have just started a running bet on who here has reincarnated the most equipment.  I'm pretty well new here too and I think I'm in the running ;D.

Welcome cjfrank.  A saying we have where I work is "chrome don't get you home". It just costs more.  We use plenty of old equipment, including old helicopters, in a lot of instances, you just can't buy new equipment that is built as well as some of the older stuff.  Nothing wrong with a little iron oxide!  Got to have a reason to buy some Rust Reaper.
