i say allow the protestors, and to be fair, allow the retaliation that may ensue.

Brendon I just read the story on WFSB's website. That's a baby tub grinder. Pintle hook behind a dump truck legal to transport wherever probably a single axle. I'd guess it was 3 or 4 hundred horsepower.

My grinder can only be moved behind a truck tractor, has 3 axles of its own, is an oversize load (between 12 and 13 feet wide), AND it is currently worth almost as much as their grinder cost new.

Basically it's like their grinder was a Ranger and ours is an F550.

The 'Good Reverend' Phelps and his family (followers) are going regret their stupidity, arrogance and hatred soon, there's no doubt about that.

Truer words have never been spoken. The last grinder we had was a little bigger than the town of seymour's was but smaller than our Morbark and that thing was USELESS. We spent more time fixing it than running it and it barely moved any material. A decent sized chipper and 2 guys could have probably kept pace to it when grinding brushy type material.

The Morbark will process material as fast or faster than we can feed it and it is surprisingly easy on fuel.

my uncles have a pto driven haybuster and it requires 100hp pto, can barely handle anything heavier than brush, and breaks something major every time. it has been parked and rusting for a couple years now. also, with that kind of power being fed into it the fuel gets SUCKED rather than sipped. tub grinders are definitely a "go big or go home" kind of thing.

And a "have a service truck on standby" type thing. I fed a piece of tree trunk into our grinder that was only maybe 2 or 3 feet long but it had to be 3.5 feet in diameter. I stood it up on edge and it was just over my belt.

Evening guys. Settling in for the night now, washed the truck earlier. Big change for me... I rarely washed my previous two. Gotta keep the black sparkling. As I said OEM fogs are in, I just took them on a quick drive up and down the road and I can see much better at night... they're awesome. I was going to get HID's or something for the headlights but now I don't see that they're necessary. Still waiting to hear back from Corsa on their exhaust fitting on my truck (nothing from Magnaflow or Banks either)... Gibson replied. I have to source stock exhausts for the truck to see if the part numbers line up, mine's the 137 wheelbase and these are I believe 145 and up (ex cab short beds and bigger). Still debating on ordering the intake or not, I was thinking of ordering both as an early birthday present to myself.

Just ranting... lol
