tracked paylogger skidder?

logman81 · March 28, 2012, 10:22:16 AM

Hey I was just doing some ebay browsing and came across this neat skidder on their and wanted to share it. Not sure how to post it on here but if you want go check it out please do. Supposedly it was factory built buy international, it has a 353 dt and has a very unique four track setup with articulated steering and gearmatic winch looks like it would work well in wet areas. Just thought it was cool never saw one before.

Ya I saw that this morning also. A neat looking beast. lol They said tires could also go on it. With the tracks I bet it would float over most terrain.

I have never seen one, if a guy logged a lot of soft ground it would be the ticket. Looks like a low hr unit, or taken care of
It would be a low in pack machine

Yeah it is so cool if I had the money I'd buy it. :D

Easy on the Ground like the FMC, Just articulated, which i'd think may work against you in tight turns?

The way a rubber tired skidder rips up the ground on turns I wonder if you could kick the track off pretty easy turning while pulling a load . After it has some ware on it .

I would think if the no-spin is working right it shouldn't, on less its wore out, I'm sure it could be a issue.

If i had the money, I'd buy it just to drive in the parades.

Lumberjack 48 if I had the money I would have alot of logging equipment to play with also :D

Hi,

I am the owner. It is a great machine. Know of any history place I can donate it. Our company has owned it for maybe 15 yrs and was trucked in form Washington state to NY. We just don't use

logman81 · April 04, 2012, 11:15:23 PM

To answer your question autocar I haven't met one yet the search continues! :D Very cool machine would love to own it and put it on display in my yard!

bkellyvtme · April 05, 2012, 09:45:46 AM

I don't see it there anymore, is it sold. I would love to rebuild that thing! If it hasn't sold could someone tell me where to find it.

barbender · April 05, 2012, 10:49:05 AM

Didn't you Guy's see the post from jrich7258? If he's the owner he should be able to answer your questions ???

bkellyvtme · April 05, 2012, 10:53:55 AM

Saw it, PM'ed and emailed him. I just thought it might be listed else where. I looked at ebay and Albany craigslist and nothing. I was just wondering if anyone knew if it was posted in another place I don't know of.

I was also wondering how it would be in the snow?
