Fowarders?

im thinking about getting one, so all ill have are 2 machines. i found a nice C4DPP on machinery trader with a Barko loader. How well do those loaders handle 10'6"-16' sawlogs and 16' pulpwood.

And so do i!!!

Me too :D It's a little hard to handle the 16' stuff with that loader. Not much of a reach.

i found a C6 with a Prentice 110 and a 16' log body. that might be a little bit better ;D

i go with the bigger machine.  you can lay out your forwarder roads well so the machine isnt so hard to move in the woods. then use your cable skidder to bunch up the wood.

i know a 110 will handle that  8) i have handled tree length pine with my old one ;D

110's are heavy loaders on forwarders they make the machine tip when in use and not very fast.
