Brin, you are a nicer guy than I am. I would not have paid him. There was no legal contract or understanding of payment for services rendered.

I know, I know but the Mrs. did not want me to make a big deal out of it ...so I paid him and it burned me up but I have not helped him or loaned him a tool to this day.:thumbsup:

Sorry, but I just had to laugh. My wife knows me too well to "suggest" that. Like I said, you are a nicer guy than me and that's probably a good thing.

I just paid the $250 and went on down the road. I will not be using anything of his again. If he needs anything of mine the bill will be pretty steep.

ya know, I can rent a 4K mini-ex and the trailer to pull it on for $185 for 8 hours of motor time...

I think the terrain and the foilage makes a big difference here...

On Parris Island, SC with all those rifle ranges and the M-16.. You can hear for EVER! (yea I meant it that way)

In the mountains, down in a hollow-- sometimes it will echo out for a ways... But not always...

In thick woods, it can be muted pretty quick.....



Puzzling question:

If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a noise?

Elevation makes a huge difference. Being above the noise source is very loud compared to being below it. I am not sure why that is, maybe sound waves reflect from the ground.

I had a butthole neighbor at my last house. I had the Kioti 3054. He had this old pickup he would load full of trash all year and then take it to the dump one day a year. It stunk, was an eyesore etc. One day I was out dragging the road and he asked if I would pull his truck up the hill as he was stuck in some mud in his yard. I didn't and don't like this guy but I figured I'd give him a hand. I attached the chain to my tractor and he hooked up the truck. It was an easy pull for the R1's and I had him on solid ground (the driveway we both used now). He said he would have the truck out of the way by the end of the day. A few days later it still sat (while he consumed his whiskey .... a real alcoholic). My wife was to leave for the day and didn't want to drive her care through the lawn to bypass his truck. I got the tractor back out and pushed it back into the mud. A towtruck came later and I never had the issue again.
