I finally completed my complete rebuild of my timberjack 200.  I went to the bare frame and built it back from, there.  I added a cage for protection to make it CLP compliant.  Can't wait until after mud season to get it dirty.

Back in 65 i was peeling Aspen for a guy from International Falls, he had one just like it. We were logging by Ash River, between Inter Falls and Orr. He was cutting Aspen 100" 3 guys, landing man, skidder operator and Feller. They were putting 1000 cd a month on the landing, this is when i seen the light. He was getting $10. a cd, $10,000 a month was good money. He paid the landing man $1.50 a cord, same with skidder driver. He showed me his felling method, that little TJ went back an forth like a sewing machine.
I would use the same felling method today.

thanks for the comments,  I am currently using a 201B that is similar to this one but with a ford desiel instead of gas.  I can run all day long on 3 gallons of fuel with that one, looking forward to see what this one does.  the weather in Maine has been warm and the frost is leaving the ground quick.

I ran about 5 to 7 gals of gas a day though my 68 Treefarmer. I bought this new in 68 for $9500. i was 20 yrs old
