If anyone is planning to flip their Echo CS-490 on ebay or craigslist and might be interested in making a deal with a beginning farmer and fellow forum member, please let me know. I have had my eye on this particular saw as it seemed to meet my needs for the farm very well, just been waiting a...

Ok, thanks!

The owners manual for the MD-6XP says that if you use the 120V power unit, you need to use a "25 amp fuse". The breaker for my garage circuit is 20A. The GFI in the garage is 20A, and the other receptacles in my garage linked to the GFI are all 15A. Would I need a dedicated 120 circuit from...

For?

Since they are still being used at the dealership I'm not sure I would consider them failing - but abused and repaired for sure. The guy selling them seems to have enough confidence in them to sell one to his brother and coworker. Dunno.

Any guesses?

Got a little more of the story but haven't spoken with anyone who's actually seen the lifts yet. What I know is the dealership had one or more of the SP-7X lifts start to fail along one of the brace plates that are inside the scissors arms, so they welded additional plates overtop the old...

I've watched that video many times before! What range of vehicles have you had on your lift? I need to lift a miata, small hatchback, and 1/2 ton truck. Since it's used I'm not sure if it will come with the rubber blocks that you used on your BMW. I should know this, but are those needed...

Fair enough. All I have seen is a couple pictures of them in the current shop. The shop is clean and well organized and the lift looks used but not abused. Unfortunately that's all I know right now. I asked if the seller will have a demo unit set up but he said they will all be sold quickly and...

I have a local lead about a few SP-7X scissor lifts coming up for sale. They were built in 2008 and have been in regular use at a dealership and are now being replaced. Any thoughts on the fair market value of these units?

Were you ever contacted by Dannmar about a GB?

For only two weeks old I'm surprised at the amount of rust. I guess their powdercoating must have completely missed those areas. I've been looking at purchasing the HD-9 very seriously. One thing that stuck out to me when looking at your pictures is that the cable block "outrigger" doesn't...

I hope this is not representative. Do you have pictures of these issues (they aren't showing up for me)?

No reason why you can't take the soil samples yourself and send them in. At least in PA, all you need to do is go to the local extension office, pay $7 for the soil samples, dry them overnight and send it in the next day. Instructions are included with the test. There is a huge risk of...

^ interesting info.

Is Eagle a manufacturer or reseller? I can't seem to find a story on who actually makes them. Kind of looks like a Greg Smith style reseller of someone else's design.

I would be interested to hear how these compare to the pro park 8s if anyone has seen both in person. I never considered an Eagle due to the lack of certification.

I think you would get more serious responses if you provided more information upfront. I'm shopping for lifts myself so believe me I know how overwhelming it is. There are many factors to consider. You covered the garage size and the thickness you think your slab is. Do you have high rise...

My ceiling is 10.5' tall and assuming I moved the garage door tracks and opener out of the way I would think that would be enough room to move around underneath it on a rolling chair, although it would be close.
