I don't see many of those Bells around here.
I have seen the Orange ones around. Those was around about 30 years ago. Last one I saw was about 10 years back. Grandson had a field day with a logging company and they had one there.
Good luck with the grapple skidder.

Good to see an old Prentice getting ready. Those were built not far from me in Prentice, WI. They were sold to CAT forest products in 2007. Got to haul their machines on flatbed a few times.

 
This was back in spring of 2011, it ended up going to Louisiana as I recall. Unloading it took some work, they had to attach the cab and run the machine to lower the outriggers onto old skidder tires. That lifted the machine enough that I was able to drive my trailer out from underneath it.
Under bark there's boards and beams, somewhere in between.

Mike, it was the company's step deck, a Chaparral. And if you mean wheels, I don't remember. Looking online their listed as 22.5's.

Is that an Esco grapple? Looks like the one on Myrtle.

Myrtle before rebuilding.


Young also built grapples like that, also a heads up for you guys with Esco grapples they no longer do forestry grapples.

Nice stepdeck.  Are those 17.5?
I don't remember the size but they are the small ones. That is a low pro stepdeck with a deck height of 34 to 36".

Resonator, I have no idea who you are but I can say without a doubt that I have been hooked to that same trailer. I quit in 2013 and went back in the woods.

If my memory is correct a 519 is a yellow 210.

There is three different sizes of 17.5 tires, maybe even 4. I have the small ones on a stepdeck, bad mistake and I doubt I would ever buy another stepdeck with 17.5 tires at all, but might would try the larger ones.
Old LT40HD, old log truck, old MM forklift, and several huskies.

Hey Grandpa, very good chance we were at the same place, I'll send you a PM.

That's a nice stick! What is that skidder?
Wood-Mizer LT40HDD51-WR Wireless, Kubota L48, Honda Rincon 650, TJ208 G-S, and a 60"LogRite!

There was some really nice wood on that job. The skidder was a gafner mini skidder a little bigger than a Garrett 10. Sold it and just got a old c4b long frame.

How many of the Skidmore heads have the bottom knife/arm been put on?

Between the CF-22s and modified CF-18s, probably 5 or 6 with lower thumb.

The firm Haas from germany takes new John Deere forestry machines and make them even better, the have some cool videos!

A very good video but sadly in german: Haas makes every wish and tough you have a reality. This guy wanted the traction winch and bogie lifts in the front and back individually usable as he explains/shows at 4.02min  
The machines come with remote winching and remote driving

The dancing forwarder. :D :D
Pretty impressive how they can climb those hills.
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. !!

Does anything have to done to engine and hydraulic oil intakes to be sure the systems aren't starved of oil operating in these extemes ???

There's a set of Alpine winches on some Ponsse's out here and so far they haven't had an issue. The videos really don't do justice vs seeing the guys drop a Tigercat 870 or 855 off 90% or steeper ground. If you guys want to see the original steep ground machine look up a Washington/Allied feller buncher far as I know of all the ones built there's only one left out at camp 18.

Climb Max - this was filmed a while back.
Be interesting to see the cost figures of a tracked feller buncher/ felling head machine operating with a traction winch excavator/ bulldozer against the cost of just operating the Climbmax with winch, blade , dry sump engine etc
Would also like to see a Climbmax operating with a tiger cat or south star felling head or duxson felling head. http://www.duxson.co.nz/fellinghead
