Yes, I have heard about being a little tippy too and will take it slow until I get used to the machine.  But at least this skidder has 18.4-26 tires so it sits a little lower to the ground than the normal 30 inch rims. 
The JD 5300 is still going to be put to work too.  I plan on using it now for work at the landing or if I have to winch from a long distance.  The skidder only has 60 ft of cable, but the farmi has 160 ft--  may come in handy at times. 
Yeah, the pics were tougher to compress for some reason this time and came out quite small?

Congratulations bradstr. You now own the finest logging machine ever put in the woods.  8)
