I got a Husky Brute 100 from Frickman (he lives down the road) and he said when his Granddad bought it many years ago it was a MULE! I have it here for "someday, maybe" use ;D. He gave me all the orginal reciepts and books, etc,.... Said it REALLY lifted ALOT of weight, the main boom cylinder is BIG! as is most of it.

The Co. had a Husky Brute, not sure of the number on it, it was Husky. I think you could heal out a cord of Aspen pole's at one time with it. But nobody wanted to use it because it was to slow, and burned to much gas,, They had a 350 Chevy for the power unit, really sounded good when lifting.
Third generation logger, owner operator, 30 yrs felling experience with pole skidder. I got my neck broke back in 89, left me a quad. The wife kept the job going up to 96.
