Need Help Buying a new log loader...

[ephnyb]

Hello,  It is time for me a bigger log loader and would like some in put on what to look for and to avoid in knuckle boom loaders. I had a Serco 160 self loader too load the two trucks. I sold it last year. Now I have a job and need to get hauling. My trees are old growth pine (24 to 40 in) , will a Prentice 210 do the job or do I need a 410? Is Prentice the best or is there better ones. (Barco, Tigercat, TimberJack, ect...)  I am new to this and would love too hear your thoughts. Thanks

the bigger the loader the more you can do with it. are you doing tree length or cut to length? get a 310 or 384 or 410 if tou are doing treelength. get a 210 or 280 if you are  doing cut to length.
