Little American and German iron

[Darcy Warner]

Spent 16 hours on the road picking up a few machines.
The big planer is a bit on the heavy side.

I love the fork lift ballast!

I love the fork lift ballast!

6k pound lift and a 7200 pound planer. My neighbor has a 8k pound lull, but was out of town.

[Bruce Page]

Big stuff! What size are they?

Awesome! I always enjoy your threads about the big stuff!

[Chris Hachet]

I love Oliver equipment, these pics make my day!

[Jim Andrew]

So where do you live, that you can find that Oliver equipment?

Your far enough away from the trailer, for gods sakes lower that planer closer to the ground before something bad happens, especially when you counter weight is made up of random odds and ends you found laying around.

First thing I thought BUT based on where his hands are I am guessing he did it for the photo op, plus it isn't like he doesn't move this sort of stuff on a regular basis but it is a good point.

I lifted it up, sat it back down on trailer, lifted it up then got off lift, pulled trailer out from under it, got back on the lift and sat planer down.

I was not backing up or moving with that planer at that height.

My soon to be wife was taking pictures, I told her stay out of the way.

I have picked up a 404 Mattison with my lift. Have a bit of time in that seat.

My right hand is on the lever to lower the mast. She took a video of me lowering it down.

Wow. Just unreal. Still waiting for some shop pics. And yea. Where do u find this stuff. That's just unreal.

Darcy, if you still have the Schwaubedissen you should post a picture. If I didn't have four jointers I would be all over it. Dave

It's actually apart. Bearing was noisy, which led to new bearings and I am thinking about having a Hermance head made for it, maybe having the tables planed as well.
Be an expensive machine after all that.
