Well, and I may get the ole stink eye for this, but advertising isn’t that horrible if it only pertains to OWB’s. Pexsupply, Stihl, Baileys, Husqvarna, etc wouldn’t be horrible, adds for Viagra or Cialis are nono’s.

I moderate another site that has ads, but only ones that pertain to that industry.

Yes come on over. Very nice layout and he is open to suggestions .

This was never meant to start trouble. I also want to mention that SlimJim has no more to do with running that other forum than he does this one. I asked him if he wanted his own forum over there to post whatever he wanted and he suggested the name that is there currently there. He wasn't really sure if he wanted to do it and I talked him into giving it a try. I got the idea from some diesel truck forums I have been on that gave forums to some of the most popular people.

Thanks RSI , I'll try to get some pics at the forestry expo this coming weekend and post them to get things rolling.

Slim and RSI are valuable contributors to this site.
They are respected by everyone on here.

I understand the perceived threat to the forum,, but pi$$ingg these guys off, is counter-productive

And yep it is slow.
 We only got a few minutes on the PC  as everyone is busy.

kk.

OK guys I think I got misunderstood! Please allow me to explain, the reason for the thread is much like a local stock car race night at your local dirt track, every car in the pit is competing for that checkered flag at the end of the race, if you've ever been part of this then you also understand that even though they are all competing, if one of the guys breaks down and needs parts or a tool to get up and running, his competitors are more than willing to help him get there, are they going to drive his car for him, probably not but if they can help him compete then most are more than willing to do so. This past week I had 2 guests at my home getting ready for the show here at the Forestry expo in Bangor, Me. One is my current employer Jake Friesen from HeatMaster and the other is my previous employer Brian Martin from Portage and Main, they are obviously competitors in the OWB industry, let me just say that I am very proud of the way these 2 Gentlemen pitched in together to help one another get ready for the show, I also would like to make it clear that I believe any company that is worth it's salt in this industry is watching these forums very closely, most will not ever post as they would like to maintain the innocence of the forum, both Jake and Brian have expressed this very feeling to me personally and have made it clear that they would like to help keep the forum free of ads, if it will do any good with pics, both are willing to make a small donation to us for added pic space, they both feel that the forums have already helped their companies get where they are today and are appreciative they would like to thank ALL the forum members for their input!

Been there and seen that myself either from the days I was still running hare scrambles and endures and later when the brother in law was running stock cars at the local track. Not really a win if your competitor can’t run but you could have helped him but didn’t.

 A few pics of the Bangor Forestry show, since I took the pics I'll start with my stuff and the rest will be next, the beautiful woman with another love of mine is my wife Mary Lou and Sam

Could use that second to last one for getting logs out of the woods. Not sold on that particular cold of green though, much prefer the Clover White and Meadow Green here.

I had the opportunity to run one of these around the parking area last year when the show was in Essex Jct Vt

I try to avoid that, if I test drive something and like it, then I will have to have it sooner or later.

Am I glad I didn't stay long, lots of nice toys there. I would be broke and divorced if I had stayed another 10 minutes.
