Hope you get everything fixed up swamper. How are you doing by the way? You get any work? Title: Re: Well here some more great luck Post by: IXIswamperIXI on July 20, 2008, 03:53:02 PM I am alright work still slow. I have started knocking on some doors and found out people (my competitors) are putting money in peoples pockets to get work. I don't really know how to compete with that but we'll see what we can do.

Title: Re: Well here some more great luck Post by: snowmanzz13 on August 03, 2008, 08:13:35 PM i guess the throwball is a good idea, i used to work for an aerial cable construction company and we had the same thing sorta for pulling the lasher and we would use it for pulling a lasher on the line and we could throw it through or over trees, basically a long rope with large nuts tied onto the end for weight so the rope could fly and be pulled, alot cheaper then buying something for it
