With the crane; unbelievable skidders

But at 23grand you would have to skid a hell of a lot of timber to make it pay!

And hope it stays in one piece!

Worked alongside one of those whn I first started, just without the crane. Think he only paid 4 grand for it too!

 

They sound amazing - 6cyl detroit diesel if I remember right.

 

It was the only machine on site that could get up the track to where we were felling as it could back up to the rock step, chuck the cable round a big stump and winch itsef backwards up the steps. It was ace.

 

Remember it on a frosty morning coming down the valley on full throttle and the noise was just like nothing else

 

Bit that always threw me was the spool to steer it with went up and down rather than left and right and it took a bit of getting head round.

The fc have one near me and it is simply bonkers where it will go; seems to have the magic ability to drive thru anything and the wheel chains take minutes to on/off.

That would come in right handy , out of my price range though !
