Not So Pro 3

[hoskvarna]

Thanks for the offer, but not a chance! This is my first ported saw - and I intend to hang onto it a long time!

Hope you do more than hang onto it

What would you charge me to make a couple for me
Looks like it works great

I'm not really looking to sell anything. You can buy really nice professionally made in the USA ones from several places. Much fancier than what I made with nicer wraps and whipping, tested and certified.

For example:

Billet4X4.com - Safe-T-Line XD Soft Shackles

Safe-T-Line XD Soft Shackles

billet4x4.com

7/16" dia. Extreme Soft Shackle (MTS 47,000 Lbs)

ASR Offroad offers a variety of 4x4 accessories including synthetic winch ropes, tow straps, kinetic vehicle recovery straps and snatch blocks for 4x4’s, ATV’s and UTV’s.

www.asroffroad.com

I just made my own because I know how, and I wanted really long ones to go front to back through a receiver hitch or around a small tree, or other large attachment point. The normal size ones aren't big enough to do that and I've found it frustrating sometimes. Having a really long shackle solves that problem for me.

Because they're so long (more than twice the normal length) and I used made in the USA materials, I put about $75 total into materials for those two. Smaller diameter rope or shorter length would've cost me a lot less, but I wanted something that would never break under my uses.

You can PM me if you want to chat. Maybe I can teach you how to make one?

I'm hoping for 2 hours without rain tomorrow to finish up some outside work. I think we might get it midday. But yeah, the rest of the day is a washout.

I was hoping to get some yard work done too. If we do get that short dry period I'd like to seed the bank above the barn at least.

Allergies are kicking my old ass.

You aint wrong.
Older I get, the worse this chit is.
Mother nature is a coldass bish!

Pollen has been covering everything here for the last month.
We have to run the wifes truck thru the carwash every 3 days to keep the pollen from caking up on it.
We have one of those carwashes that charge 20.oo a month for unlimited washes and free vacs so keeping a newer truck clean is easy.

The trucks are getting washed more often than my old ass.

We had pine pollen for 2 weeks then the oak pollen started maybe in another week we can stop blowing green snot.

Doubtful.
Then the Privet hedge.
Wisteria kicks my arse badly.
Magnolias. Damn I hate those things...

Not sure what variety of Kiwi-tree that was, but it appears you made it your bish.
I cannot professionally condone your choice of safety footwear, but personally, I have cut in the same garb...
Chips between the toes are a bit irritating.

I don't know about Kiwis, but Aussies call those "thongs".

That should get @USMC615 excited.
