holder tractors

[clueless]

whats the deal with holder tractors? i have been told by a few people that they are brilliant for small scale forestry work, and having looked at one or two on the net they do seem alright however there is very little information on them on the net and they also dont seem to get mentioned much on here? anyone used them or have anything on them?

[Mr Ed]

Very hard to come by nowadays, they've mostly been superseeded by the alpine tractors.

Handy little tractor`s . But like ed say`s the alpine tractor`s have taken there place. The Fc used them for a while handy with little log loader front mounted. Irish chap on hear posted picture of one recently.

[Mr Ed]

are they not in production any more then?

 

Nope, not for about 20years I think.

seems strange that i cant find one anywhere. you would have thought that if they were at least 20 years old there may be one or two lying about somewhere needing some tlc

Very very few about - I think I've only ever see three in the flesh and heard about a couple more on here.

 

Cracking tool and there were some brilliant Forestry spec ones.

 

Bit different to an alpine but similar type of thing.

chris - why would you say different to alpine tractors? the guy i bought my winch off has a holder on his yard just with a processor on the back. wouldnt sell it for the world he said.

[Mr Ed]

Never realized they were US built. And they seem to be alive and well!
