JD 540D cable skidder, and 2 huskies- just right.

It's not a problem here in farm country, but Deersdale, McAdam, Napadogan, Northpole is one big boulder field.  :D :D

no thanks on the boulders, shallow topsoil on top of slippery clay and gravel is challenging enough. Non tilt machine tops out at about 25deg slope. I have a tiltbase Timbco 445B fellerbuncher and D7 grapple coming in to work the  steep parts. The Koehring will then have a working holiday as processor only on the edge of the landing.

I love pictures! Especially of tractors!
Always try it twice, the first time could've been a fluke.

I really hope my boss can get rid of his 450C TJ (I hate it) and get his 748...

yea the loader works good for $1500 for truck and loader. it would work awsome it didn't have that barge anchor on the end of it that rotobec is extremely heavy we just bought a 1986 ford f800 with a 8.2L detroit AIR brakes 5/2 speed for $600 to put that loader on to haulour wood to the mill with. I will post pics of it soon and our old home built skidder

a old timberjack

they are/were strong loaders. i seen alot of guys cut up that model and put them as a replacement loader for there forwarder, easy to do cause the loader and valve bank are seperate. parts are still easily available from prentice. that one still has the original seat and seat pedestl....... 8) dont see many of them. take care of that one!!!!

yeah the seat hinge is worn out so i will have to replace it and the platform needs repair other than that it's a solid loader
