i am buying another loader..... i want one with a cab and saw package.... but most of them are too far away or too expensive. i looked @ a Prentice H loader like the one i had before, but with longer reach. it has a detriot power unit, and no hydralic leaks. the guy wants $4000 for it. the stabilizer on the right would not go down, it was 25 degrees would the cold make it not work or could it be something else?

25 is cold???? no it wont. lock valve prob. maybe. h modle has to be really old. dose it have a turntable bearing? adding a slasher is going to be big$. it takes a lot of oil. buy one all set up

Take a good look around you before buying anything, it always seemed to me the more money i spent the less money i made with more headaches.

OK now that you've spent over 1.5 million on equipment when can we see the pics? :) :)

i wish i had 1.5 million dollars worth of equipment. i watched a 460 timberjack work today on the side of the road dragging big sawlogs (wish i had my camera)

that loader of yours tlandrum, is a nice loader. do you think a GMC topkick  6500 would pull it?

I think Frickman picked up an older "H" of F or G??? smaller by a bit than a 120 Prentice, but seems like you may be better off with a slightly bigger/ newer loader. If you find the right loader, trucks are a dime a dozen.
