    You and yours stay strong— that’s a real kick in ball sack, but you can be thankful it was peaceful and sudden

    Timber jaws and fork attachment for a loader.
    Could also be used on Pipe.

    lol, yes you’re correct…. That was my load back home. Customer 200 miles away has 3 rubber tire loaders here I hauled in for him.

    He’s had multiple inquiries on them but without forks for logging use they declined to buy them. I hauled these back to WV as attachment’s for them in hopes they sell….

    Haven't seen a log grapple for wheel loaders in years. That stuff's been obsolete around here for nearly 20 years now.

    There are still a lot of them around here, mostly 966's. They're good for sorting and you can move them around from landing to landing without the dead time that moving a shovel would cost.
    It's getting hard to find good operators though. An operator that knows how to build a load is rare. The old guys are retiring and younger guys don't seem interested in putting in the hours.

    Rockin' I-FORTY westbound through Tennessee today. The DOT Boy's are out in full effect today all across the big road. Saw an unmarked TN DOT knocking on doors at a truck parking spot earlier this morning. He had one driver out in his undies and a wife lover tank top.

    So far I have been through two open weigh stations and had to hit the scale at 70,000lbs. Also, TN DOT has been stopping and inspecting what appears to be every single RAM 3500 pulling a 40' gooseneck. One driver I just passed was sitting on the front bumper while 3 officers were rummaging through the interior.

    If you are on I-40 today make darn sure you have your stuff in order and legal because Tennessee looks like they would love to have a chat with ya. Y'all be safe.

    Side note. Gave my wagon a bath and gave the wheels a IMG_20230910_211338.jpg IMG_20230911_141454.jpg IMG_20230911_141505.jpg lil' shine job.

    Sometimes a shiny clean truck helps the D.O.T. decide you look like you know what you’re doing, and take care of your equipment as well. That’s what the lady that does our compliance told us, and she was a DOT officer for 29 years, so I’ll accept her opinion!
