Greetings,
Just bought a Garrett 20 skidder with 353 Detroit and don't know if I should try to haul it my self or hire out. My trailer can haul 10500lbs but my guess is it weighs more like 12k? Thanks

Compliment accepted ;D Would love to hear any information/stories from fellow 20 owners.

you scored that off c's list correct, needed a head gasket or some such, came with a spare detroit...

I thought it was more like a 15, with a funny motor? the 20's are an odd duck you see 10-15-25's all the time, But hardly ever see a 16 or a 20. There was also a 21a that looked more like the 25's...

I'm thinking that its like a 16 where its just a beefier 15 with a diesel engine instead of the old gas pot ford, and bigger axles. So at a guess I'd put it around 10-11k
well that didn't work

tantoy

Yes Craig list. Spare Detroit came with it. I also have another engine already. Story is that engine head was freeze broken.

Nice looking older skidder. You are probably pretty close to what you guessed for weight. If you don't have far to go and go slow your trailer might do it. Most have a safety factor where if you over load them you don't hurt them. To be safe..get a bigger one.

It looks a lot like my 15A, except the Detroit. Mine has the ford diesel, and the 8A winchdrum. I would guess the weight within 1000 lbs or so of mine, which I put around 10k. I have towed mine behind a 3/4 ton diesel pickup, pulled real fine. Nice score, that will be a sweet machine 8)

Decided to pay someone to haul it. I will post some more pictures once. I get it home/cleaned up. Thanks for the response.

Thanks. Was able to muscle the rear of the skidder around with my mini excavator to get it near the shop. Next is a full de greasing pressure wash and check out what I have.
