Rick,
LOL, before moving to York in Feb '08 the biggest piece of "AG" equipment I ever had was a 6hp push lawn mover. Grew up 20 mile east of NYC. Never even owned a chainsaw. Fact is I grew up with a strong desire to be a Iroquois Indian but for 45 years was stuck in suburbia by birth. Iroquois said "build house on hill not too far from water" or something like that. Well, my house is on a ledge 60+ ft above sea level about 1/4 mile from the Atlantic Ocean. I stil want to farm. The wife and kids keep me "tied" to the rat race that is suburbia.
First winter here mature Eastern White Pine, 50-75 ft tall, started to fall. "Tree guys" wanted a arm and leg to drop/clear them.
Got my '66 Ford 4500 TLB. Been clearing them myself ever since. Got a Echo 600P saw, great Japanese made saw.
The rip is I still work in NYC and when the stuffed shirts I work with show me pics of there boats or cars or whatever i say WOW that's nice.
But let me show you Hercules. When I explain it weighs over 10K and can break out several K's they are left speechless. Show them pics of 12+ ft 20+ inch logs suspended several feet off the ground.
Wow, your nuts, thats unreal. Yeah, where you are born shapes your life and especially your "toys".

Growing up on south Shore I Long Island I sailed Hobie Cats for years, owned several boats over my younger years. We would wave jump the swells to get the 16 ft Hobie airborn!

Pete
