Well today after work I started cutting up my grapple load of wood..Pretty nice to be running the power saw again...I got a long ways to go till I can say my pole shed is fully full..Im thinking I should invest in a wood processor..Wood would be done in a weekend! ha -Nice dream though

There was one for sale just like mine in Virginia last year for $4000.

I finished blocking up the grapple load last evening.  It went really good.  But I'm beginning to realize that I'm not 20 years old anymore.  Man, the past few morning getting out of bed has been an adventure.  My back is toast (due to nearly 20 years in my local EMS) and talk about stiff and sore.  I also have degenerative disk disease and this heavy work isn't helping it.  I don't know if I can operate that chainsaw much longer.  I'm seriously thinking of talking to my younger brother who burns wood too to see if he'd like to go 50/50 on a wood processor.  We don't need anything fancy, just something that will take the pressure off my lower back.  If he's not interested, I may have to by it cut and split.  I'll stack it myself.  Roger

How about hiring a couple of the local college kids to help you Roger, I'm sure they could use some extra jingle in their pockets

Slimjim, That's an idea I've been mulling around.  I spoke to one of my co-workers about it.  His only concern is liability if someone got hurt helping me out.  I've worked extremely hard for what I have and all would take is someone who is sue happy for me to lose it all in a blink.  Roger

I found the two like mine using search tempest to search ALL of craigslist.

It was a Wood-eze Model 8100 if that helps.

Like I said, I found one in Virginia last year for $4000, another was in California but they wanted like $9000 for it, but it supposedly had been painted, had all new hoses, a new valve body and PTO pump as well. The 9K one is probably a better deal all in all.

I even toyed around with seeing if the patent had expired and maybe building a few for sale, while i was pondering this I started looking at all the ways stupid people could hurt themselves or others with it and decided the potential lawsuits weren't worth it.

I have had my employee helping with my wood while times are slow, figure if I need to pay comp on him I might as well get something back from it, plus he likes the extra hours to fill out the week anyway.

Roger ,check with your insurance co. you may be covered for casual helper.
Running a saw etc is dangerous,, but what about people that hire students to clean up yards, or even baby sit.
You may be covered for casual helper,, against liability?
Worth a phone call??

That's a great idea.  I'll give me insurance agent a call this week to see what he has to offer.  Thanks for the tip.  Roger
