That's a really nice looking cleanup job, Bargemonkey!  What do you like about the G model dozers? My dozer experience is pretty limited, I'm just curious about the differences between the series.
Too many irons in the fire

 Yeah, off to the MT to finally get this woodlot wrapped up. Not where I wanna be.
That G dozer has a complete deere factory woods package, added weights in the front, just a nice machine. Im a powershift fan, the J's are single lever hydro, great for dirt work but im just not a fan with one in the woods.

I don't think its a F model. I have seen one before and its smaller. The boom is only 15ft long. It will still lift a good sized log... as long as the motor stays runnin :D

Sent a couple loads today figured I'd snap a couple pics. First one is loading a load of oak tops a guy is buying for firewood.

And a load of logs.

Nice load of logs. Just missing a few axles and a Pup Trailer for Michigan ;) How much can you scale on a setup like that?

Maine logger88

Thanks! Of oak legal only 3500 too 4000. Softwood probably 5000 I'm not 100 percent sure I'm not used too sending tri axle loads usually I cut trailer loads for my father and grandfather but there both busy doing earthwork

U r pretty darn close for not being sure. :-) Nice load. That truck bed looks longer than typical but maybe it is just the angle of the pic. R they all 8's?

Thats a nice load of wood, now we all know who's got the money around here.  ;)   unless im shipping to bailies or a buyer, the mill im dealing with wants nothing over 12' with trim now. Works out better for me. I like the idea of stacking the 8's sideways, my bunks just arent set up for it. Have you worn that Clark out yet ?

Maine logger88

They like oak and hardwood sawlogs 8' and 10' and veneer oak is 9' and 10' pine spruce and hemlock they don't like short tho.
No I haven't wore the Clark out yet but it is wearing me out lol
