timberjack sold out to deere, so deere used thier own skidder design.
prentice/hydroax/fabtek sold out to cat, so cat used thier own skidder design.

but somwhere in there prentice started using timberjacks skidder design. so it should be a new version of a timberjack.

prentice made a skidder before they sold to cat

it looks like a taller version of our 380. a little longer to, our 380 has a 4 speed and this has a 6 speed. im pretty sure its a clark tranny. the 380 weighs 23000 and this weighs 30000 but they both have the same engine. 5.9 cummings.
