Already have an excavator, skid steer, black top roller. You have to think of the volume of dirt that will have to be moved to make an under ground garden with 8 to 10 foot walls, probably 30 or so feet wide and 100 or so feet long. Then, once the dirt is moved to the other location it will have to be spread to make the road way. Plus moving large trees. Remember, this loader is 4X4 with a blown diesel, not a garden tractor, LOL.
Besides, I WANTED A BIGGER TOY, DAMN IT.
When friends stop over and start bustin my balls I threaten to tip their truck over and then squash it. Boy would that be funny.

If it's got a "blower" on it and not a turbocharger then it's a 2 cycle Detroit Diesel engine. The first thing you will need is ear protection. Those suckers are loud. I know. I had two of them. Thought I hit the lottery when I switched to 4 cycle machines.

So with all this talk about a second OT forum, what do we do with posters that derail their own thread?

All your solutions are right in front of you. I don't even know why there is that lame discussion in the OT section.

Sorry to get back on topic i love this stuff too, but Mac what kind of coin would you want for the "working" Pioneer VSX-70 ( or maybe the more pricey SC-25 / 55's ?) or even the Denon 4310 for that matter (always wanted to try Prologic IIz) ...and if these were "broke" when you got them what did you replace/repair on them ?
THanks!,
...Dave

I may be interested as well. I have a Marantz SR18 driving my system right now that I really like with the exception of no having HDMI capabilities. Beside upgrading I'm willing to dig into some repair for fun.

The SC's and Denon are posted in the buy/sell section. You can email me on the VSX70.

Here is the Yamaha list. Being sold in groups of 2, 1 better and 1 lesser, 25.00 each plus shipping. Other makes lists coming, it is just taking time. Anyone in US able to receive a pallet full (more then 4 probably) can possible get a great deal. International shipping is turning out to be quite expensive. So unless you want to spend 100 plus in just shipping then I don't know. Canada though may fall into a possible category. I could check shipping if you desire.
Post here, email me or PM me any interest.

Seeing that I haven't had a chance to revisit the AVR that you were kind enough to assist with over a year ago, I probably shouldn't go for a pallet load. It is extremely tempting though, as I do need a serious upgrade for two receivers.

You do not have to buy a pallet load. You can purchase any number down to just 2 receivers.
Unless that is your way of talking yourself out of it.

I was thinking a pallet load in case anyone else local was interested. My work has a dock so receiving the shipment wouldn't be an issue. I just need to get some time to dedicate to troubleshooting, and that won't happen until I get rid of some already completed projects.

Oh, I see. Soooooo, I guess you wouldn't be interested in emailing me to see just how good of a deal a pallet load would be.............. Nooooooo? Not the same pricing as posted, that's for sure....

Hi Greg. How are things going? Have missed you around here. Hope all is well.
So what is to your liking? Something working or not working?
