Show your tractors

[Will Heal]

My big Westwood Gazelle tractor. Currently converted so it can cut grass. During the winter it is used along side the 110 to get wood out of a SSSi :-)

 

 

How does it grip? Do you put tractor tyres on it? Mine used to spin on a cow turd, I thought about welding up the rear diff but never did in the end

What is that machine Stephen (full spec please) and when was it built?

 

I wouldn't argue with it!

I need figures, I am a hopeless trivial information junkie.

 

Weight of Tigercat, engine type, power and torque, drive, lifting capacity and why you chose it over other machines!

Can only find spec's for a 630C at mo, the photographed tigercat here courtesy of Stevie, being an earlier B model. but some of the info might be relevant Billhook.

That is some skidder with BOTH a grapple AND a Line (winch)...

Have you gents seen them with a remote? Essentially a giant radio controlled skidding winching tonka toy....

[Billhook]

Must be interesting to move around at 17 tons and 11 mph.

 

Does not say what weight it will lift with the grapple.

There maybe only 2 or 3 of that kind in this country bill, but they are very popular in Canada- America where they grapple skid the whole tree to the roadside processor, but there are other makes of skidders out there that do a similar job,

 

biggest problem for the drivers is suffering back problems from facing forwards in the seat and twisting the spine to look behind to see whats happening,
