Tree farmer c5?

[gman98]

Been looking at a few tree farmer c5's lately.  Been looking at machines with the 353 Detroit's.  What can you guys tell me about the different years/models and about the skidders in general?

Thanks

I have one haven't used it a lot yet. Not real user friendly to get in and out of. Pretty simple machine seems solid built I know different axels can be hard to find parts for. I think the Centrax axels are the ones to stay clear of. Still looking for a timber jack ,skidders  are hard to come by in iowa

Try to find one with a Deutz diesel in it. Those usually have other factory upgrades too that went along with it.
