These machines have carried out a lot of wood over the years and still going strong. There are several still in use around here.

 Met a man who used one in his sawmill yard, even loaded the log deck with it.

Bought one of those in 1982 new from Ison Equip in Monico, WI. It was a great skidder with the 3 cyl Perkins. Ran all day and I think you had to work hard to get it to use more than 6-8 gal of fuel  day

Remember the Mules from Davis at Monticello Ark. mid to late 70's.  Worked one summer spraying 245-T killing hardwood and they had one rigged up.  Didn't work as good as the Pettbone.  Had a couple loggers running them till the paper mills went to tree length here in Texas.
