That is just about as handy around a sawmill as anything.
Won't be long and you will wonder how you got along without it.

With a little practice you'll be able to pick someones pocket with that Deere,forks are simple and ideal around a mill,good find. Frank C.

Did not get used much,did it? I would put that many hours on it in 6 months. A good buy.

Magicman · June 23, 2012, 09:47:43 PM

That is a real ~~cat's~~ Deere's meow. Congratulations.

Thanks all ,it is cherry.I have been watching ebay and craigslist for quiet sometime .I paid a fair market price for it but the low hours is what sold me.this machine looks brand new.Got a bucket and forks.As soon as i got it home the first challenge was to get it off the goose neck.I've never been on one.I did buckle up.Next surprise YOU CANT SEE BEHIND YOU.Well i got it off the trailer without flipping her up-side down ,then proceeded to the big slab pile.Three scoops and the pile was gone.This is one fine machine.I'm one happy camper.

Nice score! With numerous attatchments at rental yards you can make some good extra $$$

WDH · June 24, 2012, 07:22:14 AM

Al,

That is not fair! I want one, too

. You can bring it up to my place to put it through the paces ;D.

sparky1 · June 24, 2012, 07:57:27 AM

their good tough machines. I think one of the strongest on the market.. Drove one for 10 years or better now. I wish i had my own too!!

clww · June 24, 2012, 05:39:14 PM

Nice find! 8)

customsawyer · June 24, 2012, 06:31:24 PM

Bring it on up and we will put her through her paces. ;D This will also let you practice loading and unloading her. :D
Very nice find. I am happy for you. I know how long you have been looking for one.

WDH · June 24, 2012, 08:46:32 PM

Al,

Jake and I can manage to find some humongous logs to try her out on ;D.

slider · June 24, 2012, 09:14:58 PM

Just bring your self on down.I moved the slab pile this morning and this machine is too fine.It is much faster than our farm loader.Heck i even opened a bag of charcoal ,spread it on the grill and lit the grill with it,not to be bragging but that's quiet a feat for a beginner ps the ribbs were great
