KenK Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 Well this was a good one. Got 4 out of 5 customers tractors out the door. 1 needed tranny replacment the other needed engine reringed. The other 2 needed regular service. Got my hb-112 up and running and also got the hydro lift mounted and working. On the way home I stopped at a friends house to pick up some A-C parts,which he had and free.(I'm sure he will need something down the road). He also had seen a A-C for sale,so we went out to look at it.A very clean B-110,42" deck,extra set of rear tires, wheel weights,A-C turning plow and hitch to go with it. $200 for the works,what a day.:D:D:D
HubbardRA Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 Never done quite that good. Had many more days go just the opposite.
Kent Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 No, can't say that I have... :( Sounds like quite a haul for you though!
rokon2813 Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 I'd like to have a few days like that.... congrats
KenK Posted August 7, 2003 Author Posted August 7, 2003 Oh don't get me wrong Iv'e had my share of bad days where you would just like to throw everything down and go home.

MPH Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 The maker of the big mac even say ' you deserve a break today' Glad to hear you had a much more pleasent one Ken...MPH
MoAC610 Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 WOW excellent i thought i was the only one that could fall into a deal mine was free. lol i think everyone was saying quietly yeah sure no one gets them for free. Well good luck
Tom_Byrne Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 One of these years I'll have "one of those days".:D
thedaddycat Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Hey, it all comes and goes.... I got that 3210 with deck, snow plow, and moldboard plow for $20 the other day, then yesterday I had been doing yard work and forgot the weed wacker was in front of the car. Neighbor came over needing a jump start so I got into the car and promptly ran over my weed wacker. Not a huge loss in that it was given to me for free, but in a way it is because the replacement one will be about $400(I'm upgrading a LOT) for a split shaft Stihl that will take attachments..... BTW, the mower deck is all that I have left from the 3210. Both plows went on eBay and another club member has the 3210 V now. Guess that takes the bite out of paying for a new trimmer......
Chris727 Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 I wish I could get that much done in a year. I got a simmilar deal on my B110 only I got a blade, deck, chains, a tiller,for $200, but no weights, I sure need some weights. Daddycat, $400 for a trimmer, Wow! I get lots of use out of ryobi's I get from the trash and yard sales, I cant seem to kill them. For $400 I'd buy another tractor or some more attachments, but hey Sthil is the best trimmer from what I've been told. -Chris

I have had people "TRY" to pay me, but I wouldn't accept it...:D
thedaddycat Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Wound up with the Echo trimmer instead. It was "only" $360 but is the one prefered by landscapers. It's a split shaft, which means it can take attachments other than the string trimmer or brush blade. They make a pole saw, sweeper, cultivator, hedge trimmer, edger, etc... for it that all fit the same power head. Since I'm trying to start a landscaping business I figured I'd better get something that will stand up to the heavy use....
rokon2813 Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 An echo will stand up. I used one years ago 50 lawns a week for 3 years. Just changed the plug every spring.
