Tools every man would love to own (or have at their disposal)

Huckleberry has an outstanding thread (Stickie worthy in my opinion) about "tools every man should own." I have enjoyed reading it and was thinking there should be a thread for tools we would all love to own (or have to use at our disposal). Dannmann comes to mind here. I know he has a fascination for tools that tear stuff up. . . Stump grinders, massive chipper shreaders. .. . I have been fortunate in the growth of our business. I have acquired a few of these such items which I never would have guessed I would own. When I started 18yrs ago in business, it was basic hand tools, wheel barrows, basic equipment. I always dreamed of owning an extended cab, long bed, 4x4, Cummins diesel, dually. I have been fortunate enough to own two of them, and now a crew cab version. This has all come in steps. Growing one item at a time, and updating a little here and a little there.

My current favorite: 3pt chipper shreader we hook to our 43hp Kubota. That thing is the cats meow. Accepts up to 8" limbs although I limit it to about 2-3" because we burn anything bigger.

Tomorrow we take delivery of a 72" skid loader mounted snow blower. I am really looking forward to seeing this puppy throwing snow 50+'.

I am a lot different than most because we use these for work versus most people who could never truly justify stuff like this. Even so, there are items i would like to have some day.

Plasma cutter. I don't have one. I don't have a lot of use for one. I would like to own one some day.

Stihl 660 or 880 chainsaw. This one I might own eventually, but the MS361 does most of what I need it to do. Those big boy chainsaws are wicked mean. I have run a 660 and it isn't for the weak, timid, or inexperienced.

Bull dozer. I truly don't need one. The times I have needed one I have hired the work out. They sure look like a blast!

No doubt Charles. If you have any ground to maintain, a skid steer with forks and a bucket or two, and/or a tractor with loader and assortment of attachments are invaluable. I don't own a "ton" of property, but use the heck out of ours. Even our lightest used skid loader saw around 70hrs of use last year. It sits most of the time. Tomorrow it will go sit on a parking lot the rest of the winter "just in case" we see snow.

A nice garage or shop. . . . A thread in itself. Good call Jim. A new shop is in the works whether this spring or in the next couple years. When it is built, it will have a lift. When it is built, it still won't be big enough.
