1978 Timberjack 450

[Jws_78]

I'm planning on purchasing a Timberjack 450. It's said to be a 78 model with a Cummins engine and Eaton transmission. Curious as to what the weight and height of the 450 for transportation reasons.

Any pros or about them. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Does anyone know anything about the late 70's model 450?

I figured that but why not have the clark 4 speed that the later 450's came with , I loved my 78 , it was like driving a dam race car in the bush with that 4-53 opened up , On short skidding say 1000 feet or less it was a hard skidder to beat , as far as weight mine was not very heavy and had 23.1 by 26's on it and was a short frame . Heavier than say a 240 TJ but not alot
