looking at a log skidder

[aksawyer]

Have been looking for a log skidder for some time now.Looked at a Mountain Logger ML150,or so I think that is what it is.It is smaller than the ML200.Anyway it is mostly clark running gear in mountain logger sheet metal.Was wondering if anyone knows about these machines,and where to get parts.

I think that they were made in the Western US.  They are similar to Garrett.  Here is a deal on a machine http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/for/1694532038.html

If a guy was in a buying mood, I think you could consider looking at hauling fees to a location, even across several states, for that price, you could put a bit into the freight, and still have a good deal.

They were made North of Seattle and I believe they are no longer in buisness however parts are not a problem as they are pretty much standard through vendors and parts houses. Wiith 653 invest in some foam ear plugs and a good set of ear muff hearing protectors, you'll need them.
