Looks so so but im not sure about any equipment that relies on a cable and winch system to load timber it seems a bit slow and cumbersome as apposed to a hydraulic crane and grab:confused1:

Nothing new there!! It's a 1ton tracked barrow with a swing lift on it. Better of getting a second hand Kubota 3ton tracked dumper and mounting a small hiab like off a tranny just behind the engine then get it piped for a grab and your sorted. If you dig about on YouTube searching for tracked dumpers I'm sure you'll find a few with cranes on. Infact I remember a thread covering it on here some time ago and I believe someone on here uses one.
