i have been saying i was going to get another skidder for a while now i went and looked at the 170 and i like it it looks like a good tight machine with no leaks. the topkick motor went bad (427) :'( so i sold it as is $3000. i found a F 800 ford cummins desiel, cab and chassis in manassas va. im probably going to pic up mon. here is a pic of the skidder.

Treefarmer,

What time on Monday will you be in Manassas? Who are you purchasing the equipment from? If you are in or around Manassas after 3:30 PM, give me a call (703-795-8821).

I built a dump truck out of one of those. I think you'll like it.

Congrats on the new iron! now to increase your wood output, and "knock on wood", that you have minimal breakdowns. Keep up the good work!
