What are you cutting 2025?

Forwarder tracks have raised cleats on the crossbars. Once those wear off you can barely turn on snow and ice. So you weld new ones on. Why couldn't you just weld cleats on your grousers?

Ed if I had your money I wouldn't be buying poverty iron 😆. I've been hunting for an 822, 100k+ buys you a 20yr old machine with 20k+ frame hours, and only God knows. Trailer is more of the problem then the buncher, used 50 ton is 40+, half spanked, better off to put the money down and eat the FET. Going to look at an honestly nice shape not all stove up 35 Talbert about 1hr from Staten island when I get back to the yard, be it for me for the year. I had a feeling that machine was the trans gender confused model, called deere today and it's the 13th one built after Deere officially took over, but still has a Jack tag. 

 Leaving Norfolk about to get partially stomped, have 4 passengers on board, I said keep eating guys, the mate and I have money on which one of you gives it back first. Boats going to smell like puke and poor life choices in a few hours.

You know Barge, my Alger ancestors originally came across from England in the early 1600's. 3 brothers, they were fisherman that set up a fish drying station on an island on the coast of Maine. 

So apparently, they were seafaring men by trade. 

That tendency did not get passed on to me. I have no desire to explore the open sea😊

For grouser calks 1 inch grade 60 rebar and 7018 welding rod . I built up grousers with it and it held up quite well

I guess no one's cutting wood, so your getting boat pictures.

 All 4 passengers got sick, 1x violently, wasn't even rough,  like 6-8' side to.
 Dropped another boat in the water, 3rd shipyard I've done this year. That's 640 metric tons empty weight, to give you some scale.

This boats due to go up about the time I get off, oils slow, bounce around bumping ships the next 6wks.

Them guys standing there help put it in scale too.

Found a video of the boat hoist being built. Designed so all of the wheelsets swivel, it can drive sideways or do a 360 in it's own footprint.
