I was just talking to @JohnM about the show. I hope to be there. I hope my job won't get in the way. I would like to go both days. I will have to put my name on the work calendar to get it off.
It's a great time each and every year.
Who's going?? I'll have my FF hat on.

Jim_Rogers · January 19, 2015, 08:02:41 PM

I'll be there on Friday, as usual.

That must be a 5hr ride for you :D

DeerMeadowFarm · January 20, 2015, 09:22:19 AM

I'm going. Riding up Friday morning with my BIL and maybe my nephew. Staying overnight in Bangor, going back on Saturday for a while, then heading home.

thecfarm · January 20, 2015, 09:27:42 AM

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing! We've "talked" via PM over the years but never in person. Looking forward to it!

JohnM · January 21, 2015, 07:06:35 PM

I'll be there, not sure which day. Hoping LCS will be there (hint-hint @Grandedog ) ;) ;D

(How do you know if the notifaction thingy worked? ??? Maybe it doesn't show in the preview? Guess I'll find out.....)

JohnM · January 21, 2015, 07:07:02 PM

Now. ;D

Yup it was in Essex Junction last year. Were any of yawl there at the WM tent when they did the owner appreciation thing?

DeerMeadowFarm · January 22, 2015, 11:44:20 AM

I was on a mission to buy a 3-point logging winch 4x4 so I missed it. Actually, there were a lot of things I probably missed/glossed over in my quest to get a winch. This year I hope to play around a lot more and dream big!

4x4American · January 22, 2015, 07:15:16 PM

Ahh. Did ya get one?

DeerMeadowFarm · January 23, 2015, 08:27:15 AM

Yup! ;D

4x4American · January 23, 2015, 09:46:12 AM

Nice! 8)

FarmingSawyer · January 23, 2015, 05:17:28 PM

IF all goes well and I get some work and then ain't swamped with it, I will attend.....

thecfarm · January 23, 2015, 07:58:50 PM

@DeerMeadowFarm,is that a Norse winch,model?

DeerMeadowFarm · January 23, 2015, 08:47:19 PM

Ray it's an Igland 3501

thecfarm · January 23, 2015, 09:03:03 PM

I have the Norse 450. I did a search on yours. The 4501 looks just about like mine,just a diffeant paint scheme. Norse,Labonville, also sells a 350,like yours,just add a 1. That pivot butt plate and the high pulley,the chain boxes and I keep my twitch hooked up to the cable when I come out of the woods too, I like. Worked mine hard for 3-4 years in the woods with some big pine. Lives a life of ease just doing firewood. I made some 4 foot chains,6 of them,I run 6 chokers,and they are alot easier to use at times.

FarmingSawyer · January 24, 2015, 07:07:12 AM

I have got to get me one of those!!! I'm tired of hooking logs via cable and chain and dragging them out with the hooks on the bucket.

That's what I was doing as well. Driving backwards out of the woods gets old fast!

Pulled some firewood out yesterday but prefer to drive forward. Better traction for one, steering for another, and the process just goes a bit faster.
