What do you want for Christmas???

[Gemma]

Nice Gemma!  The DeWalt slide is about the best you can buy.  I use one almost every day.  They have the largest cutting capacity of any sliding mitre saw.

The Gehl would be nice too.  Ever driven one?  Pretty fun.  If you're familiar with machinery, its very easy to get the hang of.

I want one of these.  Either 61" or 72" with the 28hp CAT diesel.


BTW, Case and New Holland are better than Gehl. 

Damn, thats a sweet mower.  I used to get to use a similar mower.  Ever used a 'walker'?  That looks like a walker on steroids.
Yeah, I got to use the miter saw when working on my house. It was my cousin's and when he took it back, it was as though he took away a little piece of my heart.  I simply can't go a whole year without getting it back.  They really aren't even that expensive.

Yeah, we own two gehl 7000 series skids.  I'll argue until the cows come home about case/new holland vs gehl.  We've actually got a New Holland skid as well, and I've had WAY more problems with it than both Gehls put together.  Aside from that, everyone prefers the Gehls due to their 'smoothness' and raw power.  At any rate, I want the lift for bigger trees.  I don't care what kind of skid you have, or how much you've counter-weighted it, NOTHING will pick up a 10"+ tree but a lift.  Nothin..  We pay handsomely to rent them all the time.

Besides, case is made in china, new holland in S. Korea.  Gehl is made here.  Thats gotta say something. 

When I 'gutted' my front and back yards, I took the Gehl:


Sorry for hijacking your thread guys.. You can get back to x-mas presents now.. Maddog and I will discuss this in mumble later.

Yankton, SD (USA) - Manufacturing

I like New Holland b/c much of the technology and quality from Ford Tractors carries over.  They make great small tractors and backhoes.  Case backhoes and skid steers are arguably the best in the business.  Oversized hydraulic pumps, double hydraulics on front end loaders and backhoes, and available extend-a-hoes combined with class leading quality make them a winner in my book.

Gehl is nice.  I guess I shouldn't have said that Case was better.  But if I were going out to buy a tractor today, I would go for a Case or New Holland.

Never used a Walker mower.  I own a 48" John Deere/Bunton walk behind.  Have used Hustler, Grasshopper and Cub Cadet mowers.  Also drove my uncle's Kubota Diesel ZTR around a bit.  Scag is the industry standard for mid-mount mowers.  Them or Dixie Chopper.  Scag is more heavy-duty, but Dixies are made here in Indiana, and they're fast as hell.  I think the newest ones are rated to mow at 15mph.

Huh.. I always thought they were made in korea/china. 
At any rate, i'd gladly accept any of them for my x-mas present.
We use Gehl because we're friends with the owners of the dealer here, and they give us good deals/trades and take care of us.

Where I am from is considered one of the best places to ride in the world.  Endless clay hills and dumps.  I almost broke my neck on that exact bike - a few years and a couple hundred CCs.

[Lemmy]

I really want to get the Archos 70 internet tablet

[LoveoftheDark]

I want creepy or unique hand made things. A home made book would be cool, or a drawing or painting. Anything altered, dolls, books, wierd knick nacks. Stuff like that. Nothing that costs too much...I just like things to be more personal.
