You guy's have some interesting uses for old lawnmowers I have to say, good to see it repurposed and a fine job.

I could use a small thing like that in my woods. A 40hp tractor,with a loader, takes a road to get it through the woods.

well it'll only do about 2- 6'' tree with branches on 4 without branches. traction seems to be the limiting factor... we will have to see how long the itty bitty keyways last on the axle shafts lol

 Load the rear tires. ;)  I did have the wifes 30hp tractor in the woods. But that has loaded tires on it. I hauled out alot of wood on a trailer and some with the hyd arms. It did real good,even with tuff tires,but it's 4wd too.

I've got 2 50lb rear wheel weights sitting in the scrap pile
They came off an old Ford lawn tractor - might even be the same bolt pattern?
Come get them - same deal as that Briggs motor - don't want them back.

nothing beats shopping at the neighbors junk  treasure pile! any old antifreeze laying around for the tires while we're at it?

I like that 4x4 skidder!

Here is having fun with 2" receiver hitch stuff.

The silver conduit tube is to hold the sun umbrella.




The white arm on the winch attachment is the brake when winching in. There should be a second one on the other side and a shoe on the end.

Love your mini skidder, your boy sure seems to have fun with it. 8)
Make sure you know how to fall properly when you fall and as to not hurt anyone around you.
Also remember, it's not the fall what hurts, its the sudden stop. !!

So its a belt drive pair of transaxles right?  Were you able to figure out a single shifter or need to shift 2 sticks?  Can you leave one axle in neutral?  


I used a winch fairlead the same exact way on mine.  Works good but i started off with it too low.  Morphed into this over time.  2 winches and 3 pulling locations, high medium and low.

 this is the jackshaft. i tig'd the pulleys together and the transaxles are hydrostatic with a cable going to each one and joined at the old blade height lever (now the fwd/reverser) the axles could be disengaged  but this was all thrown together monster garage style. i got like $50 into this thing and maybe a hundred hours. 0 prep on the welding. was supposed to be so my oldest could learn ''the ropes'' of logging on a smaller, safer scale. hope he's interested lol if it works and he's got some ambition ill find us a 4x4 honda for summer and use the bombardier in the winter. when he's ready....the c5 8)...then the fire wood is all his to deal with he he he...thats the plan anyhow....if not its was a fun project.

   One problem with tractors well even my ol skidder were breaks. The machines have them but there are trust issues.  Had added pinable shanks to the winch. With the adjustable height and direction I found they worked great for the price.



Wanted to add them to the front as well.  Neutral...forward...reverse.  Put a couple posts to see if they will help with shoving tops.  Has to be a simple configuration or the tops hook and back up when the tractor does.  We shall see




Nice job Hilltop but I can see how this will turn into a  "HOOKER" padgent  so here are 2 entries from ol PEI....   ;D
