If you don't want the poles the T-14s can still go.
It doesn't come with the gourd and of course it's up to you to find your own decorations!

I have 3 t-14s in need of some repair and two steel poles with pulleys, electric winches and controls. The poles are 18 feet high if cut at ground level with the carriers and they work well. Research some of my photos for a look at the housing. Someone that will bring help and a trailer can have these at a grand total of zero. PM me if you're interested.

Hey Ron,
Hope you're not leaving the martin community. As you must know Martins need all the best landlords they can get.
I wanted to ask you about the electric winches? How do they work - do you plug them in to a 110 Recept or do you use a battery??
I use Worm Gear Winches with Hex drive. You must use a Cordless or Electric Drill to operate. To use the Electric Drill, I must run a long extension cord from my shop. How do yours operate?
Thanks, Rodger

No I'm not quitting but the shoulder replacement, wrist fusion and three back fusions are taking a toll. I still have over 100 gourds going up and will be adding more to the t-14 pole I'm keeping. I can handle the gourds just fine!
Not dead James, I'm still hanging on!

No I'm not quitting! The winches I have are 2000 lb. 12 volt that I hook to my utility Bobcat or a car battery will work fine.

Hey Ron,
Glad to hear that you're not quitting hosting Martins. I throughly understand about health problems, with 2 back operations and 1 total hip replacement. That's the main reason I went to Worm Gear winches with Hex Drive. No more lifting or cranking for me.. So you have 3 T-14's, 3 poles -18' steel, and 3 winches & pulley's. What do you mean by "Controls", what does that consist of? Liked your pic about hanging in there.

Hi Ron that is good to know that you are not getting out. I did not know that you had all that surgery and I hope you get better. Tell Wayne and Dewayne I said Hi for me. Keep posting those great Pictures.
