harvesting tools
« on: March 29, 2008, 10:28:42 PM »
I will probably get in trouble for this, but take a look at www.futureforestry.com  and see what we have for arches and such, to help you in your woodlot operations.

Let me know what you might want and I can have it shipped directly from the factory to your home, unless you want to come here to pick it up.

This site is for the benefit of everyone with an interest in this industry.  Pointing people to a site that has related information is accepted and encouraged even if you happen to be a dealer for the company. 

If you were to have something of you own to sell, then the For sale section would be the place to put the offer but I think harvsting tools should be right where you have it!

Carl, I can go ahead and order and have them send it directly to you, if you like.

Or, you can order and have me given the credit. 

I will call and make sure either way happens, as well.

Glad you are happy, Carl.  Now remember, the old saying in the woods around here, was: "You are not a man until you can break a Peavy handle." ;D ;D ;D ;)

I broke the prototype mega cant hook!  After that they made it out of thicker stock.  I havent even bent this one and I have cranked down on it with all my might on more than one occasion.

Your breaking the thin walled one does not count, Kirk.  So, you have to try again.
