The J5 and the sw48 had the same type of drive, track width was the only difference.

Anyone else go to the forestry expo yesterday? I was mainly looking at the different options for small bandsaw mills, but this caught my attention. I'd certainly like to have one, but at 50k, it's not going to happen. I can buy a small dozer, utility tractor, and skidder used for that price. It is a cool rig though.






i seen this thing, i tyink you ( and know ) you can buy a small skidder and a dozer for 59 grand and have some modern equipment. i was there fri and sat, always a good time

They build these little things set-up for firefighting.. Easily transportable by helicopter.. just doesn't seem like it would do much

I did price,a shovel or loader with the elevated cab for $200,000 delivered. Was in the area of the Puma. Think it had Oliver store on it. Kinda right down hill from the Timber Pro

I got there about mid-morning on Friday, spent the night at the hotel/casino across the street and spent almost all day Saturday looking and talking. I had a chance to spend about a half hour talking to the President and Vice President of forest products development for Caterpillar. They seemed sincerely interested in what guys had to say about their products. A couple of us told them the best thing they could do to the bunchers and processors was to make a self-leveling cab available because in the mountains of Maine and New Hampshire level ground was not overly common. The only tough part about the expo is having to wait two years until it comes back to Bangor. Essex, VT is good but Bangor for me is like going to a fair for loggers.
