My thoughts exactly, Chevy. Some stuff takes a lot longer to wear back into the basic elements- a cone crusher you can kinda watch it happen though😁

No, you don't want to own a crusher when it breaks down😬 The cone is huge money if I remember correctly.

Everything, not just the cone, the jaw crusher and the screen plant. try to buy conveyor belt, just sit down when they give you the price,

. the last firm had to replace a bearing on the jaw, was 14k for one bearing and there are 4 bearings in just the jaw.
crushers are the worst, just the task they do is so violent that the machine rattles itself to pieces. i imagine that big chippers are in the same category.

Oh my hat is off to a jaw or cone crusher, they break rocks into pieces for days on end- it is a wonder that they hold together at all!

They guarantee welders will never run out of work. (And burn that rod down to the numbers, can't waste money!)

PAST the numbers. I always heard that if you can tell what it was, you're wasting money!

Yes past the numbers, I stand corrected. Been a while since I heard that saying.

My lowboy driver found a viaduct today with the forwarder, starting an afternoon filled with fun problems to solve. Good times were had by all.

Oh my. Did you attempt to strangle him?

One of the neighbors suffered this one. A couple was fighting / arguing travelling down the highway north of 70 mph. He lost control and decided to drive through my neighbor's yard. That John was hooked to an 8 foot 3 ph disc. The disc stayed where it was. The tractor rotated about 190 degrees and collected his pickup as well. The tractor was destroyed. Disc was sitting with lift arms and top link still attached. The rear axle on the truck is bent along with sheer metal damage. I'm sure the insurance company will total it. Don't know if the frame is bent or not. If not, I think the truck is salvageable.

Guy threaded the needle between the pecan tree to the left and a guy wire to the right. On the bright side, if the tractor wasn't there, he would have driven through the living room so I guess there is some upside.
