OK,  somebody has to ask...

For years their jingle went like this, " Come on in, we'll fix you up, Smashed Equipment."

Nash Equipment in N.H.,Franklin Treefarmer.? I've been up there to look around. Couldn't make heads or tails on the stuff. Some people like the place, some don't.

Bought a Timberjack from them;made a fair trade deal. I, too spent the day crawling over the machine so i knew what I was buying. They are nice folks- they work hard for a living, too. They have some junk and glad they do; sometimes that is what I want!

[snowstorm]

will they deal on price? there asking price is often times wayyyyyy high

[Brokermike]

I often wonder how much room they have to move. It's a long trip for me, and they've always seemed a little hard to pin down over the phone

[treefarmer87]

they have alot of neat equipment up there

Went to look at a skidder in Vt with Eddie once, was waiting in the PU and he came out of his house with a tackle box.  I said what, are ya going fishing?   No, inside the tackle box was stuffed with cash, a .38 revolver, and a bottle of Black Velvet.
