What did you buy this week?

Where exactly can you get this from? Not even sure how to find in the yellow pages. Is it direct from an asphalt plant or state yard or Road projects?

We've got a recycle yard that has asphalt, concrete, brick, etc... all ground up in various sizes. Many larger towns have them.

A pair each of Wagner LED Hi and Low beam headlamps for my Brat from Amazon; hopefully, they will not disappoint. Low prices for brand name lighting.

The Yard in Tyler, Texas, a landscape supply company that sells bulk products. It was $82/yard. It comes out of Dallas from a large plant off I-20 that takes it in from highway projects. Most of the local yards around me that sell bulk rock and soil carry it. I have 4 yards within a 30-minute drive from our place that sell it.

A log or brush grapple? if so, please post pics and review.

Brush/clamshell style. It's a EA 55" wicked, seems to have the best strength to weight ratio.
I wanted to be able to use it on both my L3240 and BX2680, I already have a larger 72" long bottom grapple I use for logs, but it's too big for the BX and doesn't do great for smaller bush and raking/cleanup.

Smart man! $100...everyone should have one.
My Dad (r.i.p.) fell just 7 feet onto his back when he was 64. Passed at 88 but suffered 24 years!

Agree, I use one whenever working off walk boards, however I fell from 6ft once and broke my wrist/ribs. Unfortunately, fall protection does work from 6ft!

Purchased some weld on hooks and D rings.
Put them on my skid steer bucket.

GRS - are you feeding an army out there in Idaho? I smoked a single rack of ribs today and did the 3-2 method and they were fantastic. and a half rack fed two of us this evening with a side of pasta salad with bacon and green peas.
