A 4wd tractor w/ front end loader/fork and agile as a skid steer!

Valtra makes an articulated farm tractor at about 90hp if I remember...  Cubic dollars...

I don't think you can beat an older rough terrrian forklift, Not multi purpose but man does it get the job done with logs and lumber. I think I could kill a smallish tractor real fast. Their just not designed to do what most log operations would ask. For the price of a new multipurpose you could buy a fleet of job specific equipment and make all of them last a heck of alot longer. 

  I know many will disagree, but just my two cents. Reid

If I had my druthers, I would have one of the Wranglers made by Willmar.  I have used one before and it would be just right for handling logs and lumber around the mill.

It is small but it has a heap of power and lift capacity for its size.

I think that it is also available as a massey 7500   they are both part of the agco group.

I will keep my 40-50 hp M4700 4x4 kubota because it is just too handy for all the other jobs around the place.
