Years ago i had an old Barko 225 yard loader that had a hydraulic folding cab ,was real nice on rainy,snowy days,it also had the house a bit higher up was real visible loading trailers and feeding the chipper. I guess Irving probably can afford those new tractors  ;D sounds like a complicated driveline on those Western stars. Don

I think the Pellitiers in Millinocket tried one of those on the tv show.

Yes, the Pelletiers do have a 3-drive axle Western Star. If I remember correctly I think Eldon said it was a 70k rated rear-end.

I remember seeing a 650 hp tri drive at a logging show, the driver said he had yet to chain up. :D He also said no green drivers got near it, a hotshot could easily tear the drive line out.
