Thank you, Tammy! I really appreciate the opportunity. I looked on your dealer locator and saw we were rather sparse here, so I contacted you, and the rest is....history in progress!

From the info on the Logrite website, it appears there are several in your state.

Thanks Okra. I actually live in Ks, but we do not do enough logging here to support a dealer. I have been to TK. they can order stuff, and you still pay shipping, I think. I did get a LR cant hook with my TK mill. I was hoping for a dealer that stocked all their great products. Prob. not viable, and why I am not a businessman. thanks!

Well, if you know a place that sells chainsaws, you could ask them to consider becoming a dealer.

Okra - can you get the custom epoxy option cant hooks? Too soon?

Old Greenhorn · February 10, 2024, 10:08:02 PM

Nope, not too soon.

Probably the funniest thing you wrote today.

barbender · February 10, 2024, 10:31:51 PM

OG, don't encourage him

Old Greenhorn · February 11, 2024, 08:11:42 AM

Yeah, you're right. Sorry, my bad.

Short answer: I cant.

Ah see what he did there SS? Now that's humor!

Southside · February 11, 2024, 08:09:00 PM

Yup - he just invented the Icant.

Well we really have not gone out and searched for dealers. When Kevin first started he had three dealers in CT that he approached. One of them was a STIHL dealer and liked the tools.

TimberKing still takes some of our stuff, we just sent him something last month.

So if you know a place have them contact me. Typically, we look for a business with a brick and mortar shop. We made an exception for Jim. We have something similar with the Oregon Woodlot Cooperative.

Except for mill specials, STIHL takes all sizes of cants and peaveys. Unfortunately, they only take a 30" hookaroon but I like that one the best too. You must have a STIHL dealer near you. If the salesman is doing his job right, every new chainsaw goes home with lots of accessories for safety: helmet, chaps, cant hook and log stand.
