[treefarmer87]

too bad they still aren't making them I would go buy a new Q70 or 185.

Well that stinks. I see a few nice machines for sale, but if you can not get parts what is the point?

[smwwoody]

parts are getting much better to get now that the aftermarket world has picked them up

[bkellyvtme]

Where is a good place to find the after market stuff for Franklins?

[loggah]

They were good machines ,if i was still running one i would buy a spare parts machine. I really liked the Franklin 660 grapple i had. Don

   bkellyvtme how has the tracked skidder worked out for you?   Just curious.  Is it good in the woods ,  enough ground clearance ,  or rubber tires  would be better???

[smwwoody]

This is one of the best Franklin parts places I have found.  I have been talking to the owner about becomeing a sponsor here.
