It looks like a very old machine, the specs are totally different now.

cracking little machine.... some thought has gone into that!!!!!!!

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

oooo that could save some dragging!

Yeah i have taken a buty like that for a spin on many occasions... downhill, uphill, sideways and even through stairwells in posh areas!

 

You can ride it, winch stuff, load massive amounts of brash and carry logs that are BIG!

 

Highly recomended!

This is the biggest sawlog I've managed so far. It was about 20" mid diameter and something like 3m in length.

 

 

 

Some of the smaller stuff on that day

 

 

This was the route for a lot of it immediately after. It's steeper than it looks - I'm guessing at 1 in 5 or so - and soft clay. It was actually worse before I started, because walkers tend to follow the same path and wear a trench in places. I've managed to flatten it all out, pretty much.

 

 

This is how the big one ended up.

 

 

To convert the big one up on this site, the only alternative would have been to take a mobile sawmill to the log. Most tractors are supposed to be banned from anywhere other than the rides, and the Alstor they sometimes get in has struggled with the bigger pieces like that.

So you did get an Ironhorse in the end?! Happy with it?

On the one I used there was an "arm" on the winch of about a metre or so as a sort of crane (original part) that is very helpfull when loading logs... makes it selfloading and can lift logs from the side of the ironhorse an onto the bed.
