Look up Rebel auction, they have a monthly auction in Hazelhurst Georgia, also Weeks Farm auction both will often have these types of spreaders and will have an online catalog so you can view them ahead of auction time , that way if you see something you like you can do a road trip and check...
They are getting out of letting customers use them due to liability they say, there are 2 other outfits in my area that have done the same thing during this calendar year, so that only leaves one locally and they have a $100 rental fee everytime you use it. I see the hand writing on the wall and...
Go up early this morning and headed over to get some pesticide to spray for army worms today and came home with a used fertilizer spreader, they made me such a good deal I couldn't pass it up, couple of new belts and a couple of other minor things and this thing will be good as new, so I drug it...
Did a job with the newly transformed Raytree mulcher and it definitely performed much better since swapping the pulleys, it did a good job on some 2"-3" hardwood oaks for a low flow mulcher.
Today's job was a little bit of residential forestry mulching, forgot to take any before pictures but I did get a couple of after, hope everyone has a good upcoming holiday weekend, God bless, Charlie.
My post was in response to Mossroads post about additional fees and taxes above the actual price of the kw hours used, I didn't mention having a problem with the source which happens to be coal, but I do think a $37.00 per month access/customer charge per meter is a bit much, it equals $ 111.00...

Natural gas can be great, it's about the only thing that kept my ex-employer afloat when they saw that they could run the gas turbines drastically cheaper than a bio-mass plant, but still nowhere as cheap as coal. I'm sure that certain renewables in certain areas are reasonable such as Hydro at...
Here is one for you, I have a water well for my cattle and last month I used 80kw for $6.56 charge, but then tack on a $37.00 access charge from the co-op and miscellaneous state and county taxes that bill totaled out to be $51.36 for the month for less than $7.00 worth of electricity use.
You can find anything out there on the internet to backup/support any cause that there is, but the truth will be in the mailbox in your monthly power bill, the company I retired from did it due to pressure from the do-gooder's, mandated no more coal and went with a mix of customer owned solar...
And most of the do-gooder's who put NO MORE COAL signs in their yards are squealing the loudest because they failed to listen to people telling them the true cost of green energy.
